Ram 1500 Revolution BEV Coming to Europe in Q3 2025

At this year’s CES, Ram introduced its first all-electric version of the 1500 pickup, the Ram 1500 Revolution BEV. It is a concept that should arrive on the United States market in early 2025, and on the European market in Q3 2025.

The car is based on the advanced STLA Frame architecture, an evolution of the Ram 1500 platform specifically designed for electric vehicles with separate chassis. It’s equipped with 24-inch wheels with illuminated RAM trim covers, but the wide fenders also provide enough room for 35-inch off-road tires.

Although the company did not publish all the details, what we know for now is that the new electric pickup will be equipped with a 168 kWh battery that will enable a range of up to 563 kilometers, an 800-volt DC system that enables fast charging with a power of up to 350 kW. A 10-minute charge will provide 160 kilometers of range. It will have a towing capacity of up to 6.3 tons and a payload of up to 1.2 tons.

Inside, the Revolution Concept can be customized for an additional four inches of legroom without changing the chassis size compared to current production models. Additional work space or even more seating can be provided thanks to the modular “Ram Track” system, whereby seats and consoles can be easily moved to the floor. A special atmosphere in the cabin is provided by the electrochromatic glass roof, which can be adjusted to let in as much light as you want.

When it comes to the powertrain, it will be powered by two electric motors with a total output of 654 hp (481 kW) and 840 lb-ft (1,139 Nm), which is enough for the vehicle to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.4 seconds.

The price of the Ram 1500 Revolution BEV is unknown.

Stellantis has a problem with a large stock of unsold cars

Stellantis is one of the largest automotive groups in the world that owns more than a dozen brands. In the first half of 2024, it recorded bad sales results, which caused the problem of too many manufactured cars sitting in warehouses.

The total sales of vehicles from the Stellantis Group in the six months of this year on the United States market fell by 16%, and the biggest decline was recorded by Ram (-26%), Dodge (-16%), Jeep (-9%) and Chrysler (- 8%). A large number of vehicles are gathering dust in warehouses, so the group is considering the option of a lower price on cars manufactured this year or earlier.

Looking at individual models, the Alfa Romeo Giulia is currently the slowest selling car in the US, with an inventory of 617 days. It is followed by Alfa Romeo Stelvio (456 days), Fiat 500e (454 days), Jeep Renegade (332 days), Grand Wagoneer L (327 days) and Dodge Hornet (323 days). This means that brands don’t have to produce these models for more than a year before selling currently unsold stock.

Also, Stellantis decided to reduce the delivery of cars to dealers by the end of the year by 200,000 units.

Six cars gone in 45 seconds

After four Hellcats were stolen last September, the Don Franklin Somerset Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership was robbed again. Last week, from the same salon located in Somerset, Kentucky, robbers stole six cars worth $ 600,000 in a short time. Everything happened very quickly, in just 45 seconds.

First they activated the alarm, which takes one minute to activate. However, everything happened so quickly that the alarm did not even sound, and the police arrived at the scene three minutes later.

The police report states that seven people entered the salon through a window, after which they found the keys, took the cars and left in different directions.

During the night, the police managed to find five cars, one of which was destroyed during the police chase, and the driver was arrested. Four cars were found at various locations in Tennessee and Alabama, and one of them had run out of gas. The sixth car has not yet been found, but is believed to be in Alabama.
