The Ram brand of Stellantis in Auburn Hills today unveiled its new 2025 1500 Ram Ramcharger hybrid light-duty pickup truck that the automaker says has a range of 690 miles.
“With unlimited battery-electric range, the Ram 1500 Ramcharger is the pinnacle of the light-duty pickup truck segment and the ultimate electric truck,” says Tim Kuniskis, Ram brand CEO of the Ram brand for Stellantis. “The new Ramcharger is a beast of a light duty — 663 horsepower, 615 lb.-ft of torque, 4-second 0-60 mph, 14,000 pounds of towing, and zero need for a public charger.”
The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger features a 92 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery pack, paired with an on-board 130 kW generator, sending power to 250-kilowatt (kW) front and 238 kW rear electric drive modules (EDMs). Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-home bi-directional charging affords the Ram 1500 Ramcharger the flexibility to charge another Stellantis battery-electric vehicle or provide power back to the grid.
With Ram’s mission being Built to Serve our customers, the truck also can 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.
Targeted performance figures include a 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds, 663 horsepower and over 615 lb.-ft. of torque, up to a best-in-class 14,000 pounds towing with a class 5 hitch and a best-in-class maximum payload capacity of 2,625 pounds.
The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger features a 3.6-liter V-6 engine and an on-board 130 kW generator sending power to a 250-kW front and 238-kW rear EDM. The EDMs combine the motor, gearbox, and inverter along with all-wheel-drive capability. The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger features one EDM on the front axle with 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 available 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 adapted for the specific mission of powering the onboard generator, with unique 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 features a design that incorporates the pack efficiently with 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 offers customers a recharging solution 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.
Among the 1500 Ramcharger features are:
- Autonomous drive assist system (ADAS) vehicle capabilities
- Uconnect 5 system
- 5-inch touchscreen
- 3-inch digital instrument cluster
- 25-inch passenger screen
