Stellantis pushes back the all-electric Ram 1500 REV launch to 2026, prioritizing the Ramcharger, a range-extended electric version, slated for 2025.
Stellantis announced on Wednesday that it will postpone the launch of its all-electric Ram pickup truck from next year to 2026. This decision, which follows an earlier postponement from this year, allows the company to prioritize the development of an electric range-extended version of the truck called the Ram charger. Ram charger will be available for customer orders in the first half of 2025, with the full battery-electric Ram 1500 REV launching in 2026.
Stellantis stated that the decision to launch the Ramcharger first was driven by strong consumer interest, maintaining a competitive edge in technology, and the current slower demand for half-ton battery electric pickup trucks. This news comes amidst challenges faced by the Ram brand, which reported a 24% sales decline through the third quarter of this year. Tim Kuniskis, CEO of the Dodge Brand at Stellantis, recently returned to the company after a brief departure and indicated that changes are coming for the brand. He attributed the sales difficulties to a slower-than-anticipated rollout of the redesigned Ram 1500 and delays in its upcoming heavy-duty trucks
