The '''Ram 1500 REV''' is an upcoming [[extended-range electric vehicle|range-extended]] [[light-duty truck|light-duty]] [[full-size pickup truck]] to be produced by [[Ram Trucks]] and is based on the [[Ram 1500 (DT)|fifth-generation Ram 1500]]. It was announced by [[Ram Trucks]] in November 2023. Production was originally planned to start in early 2024, but was delayed to late 2026.

== Background == The truck has electric motors for both the front and rear axle. The front axle motor is rated at {{convert|340|hp|kW PS}}, while the rear motor is rated at {{Convert|319|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=unit}}. The 3.6{{Spaces}}L [[Chrysler Pentastar engine|Pentastar]] V6 gasoline engine is mated to a {{Convert|174|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=unit}} generator to recharge the battery and extend the truck's range, but lacks any mechanical [[Linkage (mechanical)|linkage]] to the wheels.<ref name="Valdes-Dapena 20232">{{Cite news |last=Valdes-Dapena |first=Peter |date=November 7, 2023 |title=The Ram 1500 Ramcharger will be a hybrid like a diesel locomotive |url=https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/07/business/stellantis-ramcharger/index.html |access-date=November 13, 2023 |work=[[CNN Business]] |language=en}}</ref> When additional power or traction is not needed, the front motor automatically disconnects from the wheels to improve efficiency.<ref name="Stafford 20232">{{Cite news |last=Stafford |first=Eric |date=November 6, 2023 |title=2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger Avoids the Range Anxiety of EV Trucks |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a45734742/2025-ram-1500-ramcharger-revealed/ |access-date=November 13, 2023 |work=[[Car and Driver]] |language=en-US}}</ref>

== All-electric concept == The Ram Revolution [[Concept car|Concept vehicle]] was revealed on Ram social media outlets in January 2023, showcasing a futuristic design and various high-tech features, including an [[augmented reality]] [[head-up display]], rear [[suicide door]]s, and a collapsible pass-through between the bed and cab.<ref>{{Citation |title=Ram Revolution Concept {{!}} Reveal |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-niSqM17GA |language=en |access-date=February 14, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=January 6, 2023 |title=The Electric Ram Pickup Has an 18-Foot-Long Passhole |url=https://www.motortrend.com/events/ram-1500-revolution-ev-concept-pass-through-midgate-long-cargo/ |access-date=February 14, 2023 |website=MotorTrend |language=en}}</ref> A webpage on the Ram website also went live for the concept model.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ram Revolution Concept Vehicle {{!}} Electric Truck |url=https://www.ramtrucks.com/revolution/concept.html |access-date=February 14, 2023 |website=ramtrucks |language=en-US}}</ref> The name was later shortened to Ram 1500 REV.

The concept was built on Stellantis' STLA Frame platform, designed specifically for large EVs with body-on-frame construction.<ref>{{Cite web |title=All-new, All-electric 2025 Ram 1500 REV Unveiled at New York International Auto Show With Targeted Range of Up to an 350 miles |url=https://media.stellantisnorthamerica.com/newsrelease.do?id=24777&mid= |access-date=October 31, 2024 |website=Stellantis Media}}</ref> Two battery sizes were to be offered and all-wheel drive would have been standard.

The start of production was originally scheduled for the end of 2024, with deliveries to buyers in North America planned for early 2025. In December 2024, following changes in the Stellantis management board and in response to market conditions, the production start date was delayed to 2026. In September 2025, production of the fully-electric REV was cancelled, with the company citing a lack of demand for battery-electric pickup trucks.<ref name="Electrek2025">{{Cite web |last=Johnson |first=Peter |date=2025-09-12 |title=Ram's electric pickup truck is officially dead |url=https://electrek.co/2025/09/12/rams-electric-pickup-truck-officially-dead/ |access-date=2025-09-12 |website=Electrek |language=en-US}}</ref>
