One of the things that often holds new truck buyers from exploring EV options are concerns about range, as well as towing power.
RAM will offer a real-world, sensible solution to address range anxiety when it introduces the Ramcharger, a pickup designed to cover 145 miles (235 kilometers) on electric power. The truck features a 3.6-liter V6 gas engine connected to a generator, allowing it to recharge the battery while in motion. This innovation aims to provide reassurance, especially for those who require a truck for hauling or towing tasks.
The upcoming Ramcharger, expected in showrooms in late 2024, boasts 663 horsepower, accelerating from zero to 60 miles per hour (97 kilometers per hour) in just 4.4 seconds. When fully charged and equipped with a full 27-gallon (102-liter) gas tank in the generator, it can achieve an impressive range of up to 690 miles (1,110 kilometers). The truck's towing capacity stands at 14,000 pounds (6,350 kilograms), surpassing the current Ram pickup with a V8 engine.
For charging convenience, the battery can be charged at home or at a direct-current fast-charging station, gaining approximately 50 miles (80 kilometers) of range in just 10 minutes. Additionally, with a two-directional home charging station, the Ramcharger can serve as a power source for homes during storms or tools on job sites, offering versatile functionality.
The distinct feature of the Ramcharger lies in its gas engine, which serves the sole purpose of generating electricity to charge the battery without directly driving the wheels. This innovative design contributes to the truck's efficiency and performance.
