Estimated $26k cost of 229 kWh battery accounts for almost one third of the price of the new electric Ram truck
EVs have fewer moving parts than combustion vehicles but some of those components are hugely expensive. A large proportion of the cost of building an electric car is swallowed up by the battery, and the bigger the battery, the bigger the cost. And batteries don’t come much bigger than the 229 kWh pack that’ll be found under the floor of the 2025 Ram 1500 REV, which a new study estimates accounts for nearly one third of the truck’s total price.
Visual Capitalist suggests the Ram’s battery is worth $25,853, which means the bundle of cells under the Ram’s floor would cost you almost as much as an entire Chevrolet Bolt EV, whose MSRP stands at $26,500.

What’s interesting though, is that despite having the most expensive battery, the Ram is not the most expensive vehicle on the list.
