Stellantis Cancels Long-Range Ram 1500 REV Electric Pickup

Stellantis has officially canceled the long-range version of the RAM 1500 REV electric pickup, which was expected to feature a 229-kWh battery pack and achieve a range of 500 miles. This decision follows a reassessment of the company's strategic priorities amid ongoing cost-cutting measures, although exact reasons for the cancellation have not been specified. The standard version of the RAM 1500 REV, equipped with a 168-kWh battery and targeting a range of 350 miles, will still proceed as planned for a 2026 release. The RAM 1500 REV's cancellation reflects broader challenges in the electric vehicle market, including lower-than-anticipated demand and a shift in focus towards more profitable gas-powered trucks. Additionally, Stellantis is prioritizing the launch of the RAM 1500 Ramcharger, a range-extended EV that offers unique features and flexibility. Despite these changes, the standard RAM 1500 REV remains competitive within the electric pickup segment.
