Stellantis recently announced the cancellation of the Ram 1500 REV, a 500-mile version electric truck that was set to use a 229-kWh battery. While this news was reported by Mopar Insiders and not directly from Stellantis, it has been confirmed that the longer-range version of the truck will not be produced. However, the company is still moving forward with a 350-mile version utilizing a 168-kWh battery pack, albeit with a slight delay. Despite the cancellation of the longer-range truck, the Ram 1500 REV will still feature 800-volt architecture, enabling fast charging that can add 110 miles of range in just 10 minutes on a 350-kW superfast charger.
Originally set to arrive in late 2024, the 2025 Ram 1500 REV has faced multiple delays in its production timeline. After rescheduling to the first half of 2025, the launch target was ultimately moved to 2026. In the meantime, a series-hybrid Ram 1500 Ramcharger, equipped with a 92-kWh battery, is set to be launched in the first half of the current year. Stellantis’ inconsistent progress in the electric vehicle market continues to be a point of contention, with the company appearing to drag its feet rather than taking a leading role in EV development. This pattern has been particularly noticeable in the US market, where Stellantis has a limited offering of electric vehicles.
