Stellantis is making a new electric-propelled Ram truck with a large EV battery pack linked to a gasoline engine that can extend range for long trips without frequent charging stops. The automaker’s new pickup, the 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger, claims to go up to 690 miles on a full tank and charge. Since the Ramcharger runs on dual electric motors, a 250kW in the front and 238kW one in the rear, it’s effectively an EV. But operationally, it’s like dealing with a plug-in hybrid.
Even with a hybrid setup on the Ramcharger, both of the company’s trucks are rated with similar towing and payload capability. The Ramcharger is rated to tow up to 14,000 pounds and can carry a payload up to 2,625 pounds. Ford is the only legacy automaker currently offering a work-oriented electric pickup truck on the market. But when running with a full load in the back, the drivable range takes a significant nosedive from about 278 miles down to 210 — an almost 25 percent reduction.
