Summary
Stellantis plans to produce an industry-first electric pickup truck called the Ram 1500 Ramcharger. The truck can operate as a zero-emissions EV until its battery dies, at which point an electric onboard generator powered by a gas engine kicks on to power the vehicle. The Ramcharger is meant to bridge the gap between traditional trucks with internal combustion engines and all-electric trucks, addressing performance and range anxiety concerns. It is expected to have a range of up to 690 miles and will be capable of bidirectional charging. The article also mentions other updates to the Ram 1500 lineup, including a new engine and new luxury and performance models.
