Ram 1500 Rev Delayed to 2026

Introduction

The eagerly awaited Ram 1500 Rev, Ram's all-electric pickup truck, has been delayed until 2026. Stellantis, the parent company of Ram, has prioritized launching the gas-extended hybrid Ramcharger in response to shifting consumer preferences and market challenges.

Reasons Behind the Delay

The decision stems from “overwhelming consumer interest” in hybrid models and a noticeable slowdown in demand for heavy all-electric vehicles. Additionally, Stellantis faces challenges in its U.S. market strategy, compounded by the recent resignation of CEO Carlos Tavares amidst declining sales and criticism over its product lineup.

Key Features of the Ramcharger and Rev

Both vehicles are built on Stellantis’ STLA Frame platform, which accommodates diverse powertrains, including electric, hybrid, and hydrogen. The Ramcharger boasts an impressive 690-mile range, combining battery and gas-extended power.

EV Battery Production Boost

Stellantis and Samsung SDI secured a federal loan from the Biden administration to advance domestic EV battery production, underscoring the company’s commitment to sustainable innovation.

Conclusion

While delays are disappointing for fans of the Ram 1500 Rev, the Ramcharger offers a compelling alternative for those seeking hybrid efficiency. For more updates, follow Kushal Bharat Tech News!
