The Ramcharger claims to be able to complete 690 miles (1110 km) on a full tank and charge.
The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger was recently unveiled. The EV truck comes with dual electric motors: 250 kW in the front & 238 kW in the rear, paired with a 70.8 kWh battery, giving it a pure-electric range of 145 miles (233 km).
However, unlike other EV trucks with a frunk (front boot), the Ramcharger features a 3.6-litre V6 engine, which switches on when the battery gets low and powers the 130 kW onboard generator to keep the truck’s electric motors going. The engine, which on its own produces 174 BHP, doesn’t power the drivetrain and is used only to charge the EV’s batteries.
This means that the Ramcharger can go on really long road trips, without the need for frequent charging stops. The Ramcharger claims to be able to complete 690 miles (1110 km) on a full tank and charge. However, as long as the battery is charged at home, owners never have to visit a fuel station. Having said that, for even longer trips, the Ramcharger can have its batteries replenished at any of the DC fast chargers or Tesla’s new Superchargers with the CCS port.
The Ram 1500 Ramcharger is the latest EV truck in the market to take on the Ford F-150 Lightning. While the Ramcharger comes with an IC engine as a generator, Stellantis has also announced a fully electric version, in the form of the Ram 1500 REV – with a massive 229 kWh battery, offering 500 miles (804 km) of range on a single charge.
