The Ram 1500 Rev is now delayed to 2026

Ram brand owner Stellantis is delaying its long-awaited Ram 1500 Rev electric pickup truck from the first quarter of 2025 to 2026. The automaker is now prioritizing the launch of its Ramcharger gas-powered hybrid truck, which has also been delayed beyond the first half of 2025 it originally targeted.

Stellantis says introducing the Ramcharger first is a decision “driven by strong consumer interest” and declining demand for electric-powered models. The CEO of Stellantis, Carlos Tavares, stepped down earlier this month following a sharp decline in the company’s sales. The company has been accused of undermining its US brands and failing to release affordable models.

The Ramcharger and Rev are both built on Stellantis’ STLA Frame body platform designed to handle electric, gas, hybrid, and hydrogen powertrains. The platform helps extend the Ramcharger gas-powered EV up to 690 miles on a full charge and tank.

Stellantis and battery partner Samsung SDI recently received a federal loan from the Biden administration to develop domestic EV batteries.
