Ram has abandoned plans to launch an electric pickup truck, according to a Sept. 12 statement from Stellantis.
“As demand for full-size battery-electric trucks slows in North America, Stellantis is reassessing its product strategy and will discontinue development of a full-size [battery-electric] pickup,” the company said.
In December 2024, the company said it planned on launching its Ram 1500 battery-electric pickup in the first half of 2025.
As part of the latest decision, Ramcharger, a pickup truck featuring an electric battery and a gas engine, will be renamed the Ram 1500 REV.
“This vehicle will set a new benchmark in the half-ton segment, offering exceptional range, towing capability, and payload performance,” the statement from Stellantis said….
