The Ram1500 Revolution BEV concept previews the brand's first production EV, due in 2024.
Check out our complete coverage of CES 2023 live from Las Vegas Electric pickup trucks are a hot trend in the auto industry, and Ram is late to the game. So the truck brand of massive automaker Stellantis needed to work hard to stand out.
The roofline is a bit lower and sleeker, which probably helps with aerodynamics, but like a traditional truck, the Revolution rolls on massive wheels and tires. The 35-inch tires are wrapped around 24-inch wheels with smooth covers and light-up elements. The charge port, meanwhile, is located in the driver’s side front fender. It makes a noise when the truck has started charging and blinks to show that charging is ongoing.
A three-row pickup Many automakers have touted the packaging flexibility of dedicated EV platforms, but Ram has taken things a bit further. The Revolution BEV concept features third-row jump seats which, if they carry over, would make the future electric Ram 1500 the only three-row pickup in production.
Truckload of tech The current internal-combustion Ram 1500 is already available with a fairly large 12.0-inch touchscreen, but the Revolution puts that to shame with two big screens, which combine for 28.0 inches of space. Mounted one on top of the other, the lower screen can be removed, while the upper screen can slide around on a rail system.
Ram also claims a high enough level of automation for hands-off driving. The steering wheel retracts to provide additional space, but the wheel, seats, head-up display, and interior lights also “work together to provide next-level situational awareness to the driver” in case they need to take back control, per Ram.
Other specs weren’t revealed, but Ram boasts that its first production electric truck “will be the leader” in the key metrics of range, towing, payload, and charging time. That’s no small task.
