Ram has officially canceled its all-electric pickup truck. Stellantis, the parent company of Ram, confirmed that the fully electric Ram 1500 REV will no longer be produced due to slowing demand for EVs.
Instead, the upcoming Ram 1500 Ramcharger, a range-extended truck that uses a gas engine to recharge its battery, will take center stage. To make things more confusing, Stellantis says this Ramcharger will now be renamed the Ram 1500 REV.
Why Did Stellantis Cancel the Electric Ram Truck?
- Stellantis says demand for full-size electric trucks in North America is dropping.
- The company faced repeated delays in launching the Ram 1500 REV, pushing it from 2025 to 2027.
- High battery costs, limited range, and poor reception for its other electric models (Dodge and Jeep) added pressure.
What Is the New Ram 1500 REV?
The new Ram 1500 REV (formerly Ramcharger) is not a full EV. Instead, it will:
- Use a gas-powered V6 engine to recharge its battery.
- Offer better range, towing, and payload capacity than a battery-only pickup.
- Launch in 2025 as Ram’s key electrified truck option.

How Does This Affect Ram’s EV Future?
- Ram will not be going “all-electric” anytime soon.
- Stellantis is shifting focus to hybrid and range-extended trucks rather than fully electric ones.
- This keeps Ram competitive in towing and hauling – areas where battery-powered trucks have struggled.
Key Takeaway
The electric Ram 1500 REV is canceled forever, but Ram isn’t abandoning electrification. Instead, it’s betting on the range-extended Ram 1500 REV (Ramcharger) as a smarter option for truck buyers who want longer range and strong towing without worrying about charging.
