Officials from the Ram brand of Stellantis’ in Auburn Hills say their new ProMaster EV van has a targeted range of up to 162 miles in city driving.
The new electric van is available in three mission-specific configurations, including the delivery model and two cargo models. The Ram ProMaster EV cargo model will be available in a 12-foot cargo length and an extended 13-foot cargo length (both with 159-inch wheelbases).
“The introduction of the Ram ProMaster EV represents another major milestone on our electrification journey as we continue to evolve without sacrificing capability,” says Tim Kuniskis, CEO of Ram. “Ram’s first available electric vehicle is a game-changer, offering commercial customers, large and small, the ultimate van in zero-emissions performance, commercial capability and advanced technology.”
The new ProMaster EV was created to be a part of Ram’s contribution to Stellantis’ Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan by delivering clean, safe, and affordable mobility solutions.
The new vehicle includes a standard 110-kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery pack with a targeted range of up to 162 miles in city driving. Ram ProMaster EV cargo van features up to 3,020 pounds of payload while the delivery configuration offers 2,030 pounds of payload. A 200-kilowatt (kW) electric drive module (EDM) delivers 268 horsepower, 302 lb.-ft. of torque, and standard front-wheel-drive capability.
Built on the ProMaster architecture, but designed specifically for electrification, the Ram ProMaster EV features a unibody design engineered to incorporate the battery pack efficiently. ProMaster EV’s battery is positioned under the floor in the center of the vehicle, which maintains a flat floor while cargo volume is unchanged from traditional vehicles.
Ram ProMaster EV features Level 3 DC fast charging options of 50kW, 85kW, 125kW, and 150kW. A wall box charger (Level 2) with up to 11 kW is available. The charge port illuminates while the vehicle is charging with an audible sound alert to confirm the connection.
