Get ready, Ram fanboys; the Ram Revolution is upon us, and the all-new 2024 1500 electric pickup truck promises to shake up the EV market and set a new standard for full-size trucks. The truck was unveiled at the 2021 Chicago Auto Show, inviting fans to contribute their feedback to create an even better model by 2024. The full-scale clay model has been teased over the past year, and honestly, the Ram diehards are exhausted with the waiting game. The one-minute teaser video showed the new take on the EV truck which comes complete with bold daylight LED lamps. There are also perimeter headlights illuminating that iconic Ram badge. The company also announced its official debut date for January 5th at CES in Las Vegas. The Rams CEO offers an ambiguous prediction that hints at this electric Ram 1500 EV surpassing its close rivals, such as the Ford F-150 Lighting, Chevrolet Silverado EVs, and Rivian R1T. And with the GMC Hummer EV joining the 2024 Ram Electric on its mission of work-play balance, we're sure that things will only get more exciting over time!
Paving The Way For The Future Ram Electric Pickup Trucks
The 2024 Ram EV may be a game changer for Stellantis and the electric vehicle industry as it will be the first battery-electric pickup truck from Ram Trucks. All the other Ram segments will be fully electrified by 2030. With its bold exterior styling that takes notes from the edgy look of the Ram TRX, complete with futuristic touches, this 2024 Ram electric truck is sure to stand out among its rivals. It also features a sleek design with its tail lights across the tailgate. The STLA Frame, a ground-breaking design element that serves as the structural foundation for all Stellantis electric vehicles, is the distinguishing feature of this remarkable machine. This cutting-edge architecture, poised to revolutionize electric vehicle architecture and range performance, may support two ground-breaking models: the potent electric Ram HD Truck and the Ram 1500 EV. And, just like the Ford F-150 Lightning, the upcoming Ram EV has enough room to fit a full-size spare tire below its rear bumper.
Powerful Entry Into The EV Party
The Ram Revolution will come with two electric motors, four-wheel-drive capabilities, and a 200 kWh battery offering a driving range of 500 miles—one of the best ranges available on any EV. Naturally, this powerful entry has raised many eyebrows especially since Ford's F-150 Lightning tops out at 300 miles and GMC's Hummer EV offers 350 miles at best. Other features include a range extender (REPB for better charging and towing), an EV trip energy monitor, a charge station locator, preconditioning, and multiple driving modes. And, with a history of innovative storage options, like the Ram Box, dating back to 2008, Ram knows exactly what its doing. The electric motor up front is most impressive, which gives the truck immense power and the potential for an extra-large "frunk" or front trunk. Plus, without the traditional 4x4 system and driveshafts competing for space, opportunities for even more cargo compartments and accessories free up to make your experience as streamlined as possible.
Additionally, its anticipated 800-volt architecture will drastically reduce charging times while still providing excellent performance capabilities such as class-leading payloads, ranges, and towing numbers that make this truck stand out from the rest and make up for its late arrival into the EV party. Moreover, the Peugeot Inception Concept will showcase how savvy EV design can revolutionize the 2024 Ram's interior features. Undoubtedly, this unexpected entry into the EV arena from Stellantis will cause quite a stir in the years to come.
The Constant Delays Might Be Good News For Fans
RAM has repeatedly delayed its EV market debut without explanation, making fans suspicious. Good methods? Maybe. But it makes sense for them to take their time and carefully consider the competition before participating. And with their competitors already taking giant leaps into this revolutionary technology, it's understandable why Ram made this choice. MotorTrend reported that "learning from competitors and avoiding mistakes' was the driving force behind their delay. An example is Ford's F-150 Lightning, which has experienced some bumps in the road, specifically regarding towing issues. We only hope this extra time will result in an even better vehicle than people expect. Nevertheless, Stellantis is going to great lengths to ensure every detail is perfect before launching it on public roads. That includes everything from advanced safety technologies to more efficient charging solutions and improved battery life, making the 2024 Ram 1500 EV exceptional compared to today's market offerings. Fans anticipate that this electric truck will be the best on the market! And, hopefully, it shows up before the Tesla Cybertruck.
Luxury Meets Affordability
The upcoming 2024 Ram Revolution promises to be a game-changer for pickup truck fans and eco-conscious drivers alike. Consumers can expect a high-end interior with elegant design, top-notch materials, and clever features. Whether big screens or innovative infotainment systems, Ram has seemingly thought of everything in its mission to create the ultimate driving experience. Despite all the luxury, consumers can rest assured knowing that they won't have to pay an arm and a leg; it is estimated that the price will be around $45,000.
