Ram punts 1500 REV electric truck to “late 2026”

  • Ram’s electric truck will arrive nearly two years after initially promised
  • The plug-in hybrid Ramcharger will arrive later in 2025
  • No pricing has been discussed for either the electric Ram REV or plug-in hybrid Ram Ramcharger

Ram announced on in December that the 1500 REV would now arrive in 2026, a year later than originally promised when the electric full-size pickup truck was unveiled in early 2023.

On Monday during a press briefing, Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis gave an updated estimate on when the Ram REV electric truck will arrive: “think late 2026.” The executive noted market demands, shifts in administration and policy, and the cost per kwh for battery packs all as reasons the electric truck is coming well behind the hybrid.

Kuniskis said the team’s pulled the Ramcharger up in the timeline and the plug-in hybrid pickup truck, which has a series hybrid arrangement, will arrive in the second half of 2025.

Ram cited in December that the decision was driven by “overwhelming consumer interest” in the series plug-in hybrid and “slowing industry demand” for electric half-ton trucks.

A series plug-in hybrid features a gas engine that functions as a generator to charge a battery. The 1500 Ramcharger’s powertrain includes a 3.6-liter V-6 engine and a 92-kwh battery, of which only 70 kwh is tapped and usable, powering a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system rated at 663 hp. Ram claims this combination will deliver a range of up to 690 miles.

The 1500 REV’s fully electric powertrain is also a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, producing 654 hp. Battery options were to include 168-kwh and 229-kwh units, which Ram estimated will provide maximum ranges of 350 and 500 miles, respectively. But in January Ram reportedly cancelled the big-battery option, meaning there won’t be a 500-mile Ram REV.

Both trucks are built on the new STLA Frame platform developed by parent company Stellantis. This platform is designed for electrified body-on-frame vehicles in the full-size segment, and it supports bidirectional charging. Ram claims both trucks will offer towing and payload capacities of approximately 14,000 pounds and 2,700 pounds, respectively.

Ram isn’t the only truck brand facing lower-than-expected demand for electric trucks. In October, Ford announced it will pause production of the F-150 Lightning from Nov. 15 to Jan. 6. Similarly, General Motors delayed plans to increase capacity for its Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV at the Orion Assembly plant in Orion Township, Michigan. While the GM electric trucks were originally set to begin production at the Orion plant in 2024, the start date has been pushed to mid-2026. Currently, both trucks are being produced at GM’s Factory Zero plant in Detroit.
