The all-new 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger has debuted with a targeted range of up to 690 miles from its design that uses a gasoline engine to recharge the EV batteries when needed. It has a 250-kilowatt (kW) front and 238 kW rear electric drive modules (EDMs) powered by the on-board 130 kW generator and a 92 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery. Yes, it’s a hybrid not a pure EV. While purists might scoff at the gasoline engine, since it has no, none, zero need for a public charger, Stellantis might have created a new sweet spot in the pickup market. It is built from the new STLA body-on-frame architecture designed specifically for full-size electric vehicles with a frame that incorporates the battery pack efficiently. You could consider this the best that both gas and electric trucks offer, with little constraints on range – unless you run out of gasoline when the batteries are dead.
“With unlimited battery-electric range, the Ram 1500 Ramcharger is the pinnacle of the light-duty pickup truck segment and the ultimate electric truck,” said Tim Kuniskis, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis.
The claimed performance ratings are impressive:
- 663 horsepower and 615 lb.-ft. of torque.
- 0 – 60 miles per hour (mph) in 4.4 seconds.
- Towing up to 14,000 lbs. and payload of up to 2,625 pounds.
- It can also send power to a home during a storm, run the tailgate party or provide power at the camp or jobsite.
- An onboard power panel in the bed can provide up to 7.2 kW.

Technical Details
The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger has a liquid-cooled 92 kWh battery pack and is paired with a 3.6-liter V6 engine on-board 130 kW generator, sending power to a 250-kW front electric drive module and 238-kW rear electric drive module (EDM). The EDMs combine the motor, gearbox and inverter along with all-wheel-drive capability. The one EDM on the front axle has an automatic wheel-end disconnect that allows the front wheels to spin freely in certain conditions, maximizing efficiency. The second EDM is positioned on the rear axle with an optional electronic-locking rear differential.
Power flows in sequence from the 3.6-liter V-6 engine to the on-board 130-kW generator. The engine generates mechanical power that is converted to electrical power by the generator. The electrical power can be used to charge the battery when the battery is depleted or if the driver wants to preserve the battery power. It can also be applied to the high-voltage bus where the EDMs can use the generator electrical power plus the battery electrical power to provide maximum power to the wheels. There is no direct mechanical path from the engine to the wheels.
The 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine is specifically adapted for powering the onboard generator, with packaging to make room for the front EDM. The on-board generator mounts directly to the engine while a power inverter module mounts on the vehicle and connects to a junction box.
A liquid-cooled 92-kWh battery pack has a pouch cell format in a parallel configuration. Ramcharger’s battery is positioned under the floor in the center of the truck and maintains a flat floor. Ram is capable of external recharging with the ability to add up to 50 miles of all-electric range in approximately 10 minutes with 400-volt DC fast charging at up to 145 kW.
Other new or enhanced items include an e-shifter (P/R/N/D functionality with new buttons for eco mode, e-save and electric+). New regen buttons (normal, max regen with one pedal driving). A redesigned starter button that now has an illuminated power symbol. Push-button trailer steering knob and an accessory switch bank that, when equipped with the 14.5-inch touchscreen, uses buttons both on the bottom of the touchscreen and directly off screen below.
The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger uses performance-tuned software to pre-configure and distinguish five dynamic modes – Auto, Sport, Tow, Snow and Off-road – enabling drivers to choose a vehicle setting that ideally meets their requirements and ambient conditions. The drive modes separately control the drive system, accelerator response, regen level, suspension and steering.

- A multi-link independent rear suspension with standard, segment-exclusive, active-level, four-corner air suspension.
- The adjustable air suspension enables five different modes: entry/exit, aero, normal, off-road 1 and off-road 2.
- Same truck bed as its gasoline-powered counterpart with the capability of carrying plywood and drywall.
- Autonomous Drive Assist System (ADAS) capabilities include Hands-free Highway Assist (L2+) offering hands-off driving at all speeds and lane centering on approved roadways for even greater driving convenience. The system will predictively slow the vehicle down in tight curves, automatically resume control after driver override and verifies that the driver is paying attention to the road.
- Autonomous parallel and perpendicular parking assist is also available and uses multiple sensors, including radars and cameras, to dictate appropriate roads for the technology.
For a limited time, consumers can go to RamRev.com to reserve a place in line to pre-order the all-new Ram 1500 Ramcharger and Ram 1500 REV models. The Ram 1500 gas-powered truck and the Ram 1500 REV all-electric vehicle are also available.
