The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger: A New Era of Electric Power
The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger is making a comeback with a fresh set of features that will revolutionize the truck industry. This electric-powered truck is equipped with innovative technology that sets it apart from its competitors.
Electric-Drive Modules for Enhanced Performance
The Ramcharger utilizes two electric-drive modules (EDMs), one at each axle, to deliver power efficiently. The front electric-drive module generates 250 kilowatts, while the rear module produces 238 kilowatts. With a combination of a 92-kilowatt-hour battery and a 130-kilowatt generator, the Ramcharger boasts a total system horsepower of 663 and 615 lb-ft of torque. Additionally, it offers an impressive range of 690 miles.
Unmatched Towing Capacity and Payload
The Ram 1500 Ramcharger sets a new standard for towing capacity, capable of hauling up to 14,000 pounds. It also offers a payload capacity of up to 2,625 pounds, making it a versatile option for both work and play.
Advanced Technology and Charging Capabilities
Built on Stellantis’ STLA Frame body-on-frame platform for large electric vehicles, the Ramcharger incorporates cutting-edge technology. It features vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-home charging capabilities, allowing for convenient charging options.
Hybrid Powertrain for Optimal Performance
One standout feature of the Ramcharger is its hybrid powertrain. It is equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 internal combustion engine that acts as a generator. The V6 produces mechanical power, which is then converted into electric power to charge the battery or directly power the electric-drive modules. This setup allows for maximum power and efficiency.
Impressive Charging Speed and Range
The Ramcharger offers fast charging capabilities, allowing customers to gain 50 miles of range in just 10 minutes through 400-volt DC fast charging at up to 145 kW. This ensures minimal downtime and maximum convenience for drivers.
Luxurious Interior and Advanced Features
Inside the Ramcharger, drivers can expect a luxurious experience with features like Klipsch Reference Premiere audio, the latest UConnect infotainment system, digital keys, and a 10.25-inch passenger screen. The truck also offers an e-save drive mode and regenerative braking control for enhanced efficiency.
Distinct Design and Availability
The Ramcharger features a widened frame to accommodate the battery pack, giving it a unique appearance compared to its gas-powered counterparts. It also comes with different LED lighting front and rear. The truck will be available with various trim options, including the ultra-luxurious Tungsten trim.
Release Date and Pricing
While the exact pricing and on-sale date for the Ram 1500 Ramcharger are yet to be announced, it is expected to arrive in early 2025 or late 2024. Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking electric truck.
