Ram Trucks finally revealed the electric truck we’ve all been waiting for. The Ram Revolution concept “sets a bold new standard for the future of electric trucks,” according to the automaker.
Ram unveils Ram Revolution electric truck concept
As part of Stellantis’s Dare Forward 2030 strategy, we got our first look at the future of Ram Trucks as the automaker transitions to an all-electric lineup.
Although Ram is already behind others with several electric trucks on the market, the company says it has given it time to create a superior vehicle. In March, Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares teased a rendering of Ram’s first EV pickup, claiming it will:
Outperform all competitors on the attributes customers care most about: range, towing, payload, charge time.
Up until now, Ram has, for the most part, kept the details under wraps. The automaker took the sheets off at the Consumer Electronics Show, revealing the Ram Revolution Concept.
The electric truck will include several features, such as up to 18-foot-long cargo storage, detachable third-row seating (that can be used for camping chairs), a detachable center console, a multifunctional tailgate, Grand Saloon doors, and automatically powered steps.
It will sit on the STLA frame suited for larger electric vehicles, providing 200+ kWh and up to 500 miles of range. Furthermore, the larger frame will give Ram’s electric truck more rear legroom and comfort to recline than the 2023 Ram 1500.

Stellantis is standing by its promise. When the Ram Revolution electric truck is out in 2024, it will lead its segment, which includes the Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, Tesla Cybertruck, and Chevy Silverado EV, to name a few. Ram says the production version will be revealed in the next few months.

Electrek’s Take
Will the Ram Revolution have what it takes to propel parent company Stellantis into the new EV era? According to previous comments, Ram and Dodge, the previous brand Ram was tied to, are some of the more EV-forward brands despite not having electric vehicles on the road yet.

U.S. oil prices dropped below $60 a barrel on Sunday on fears President Donald Trump’s global tariffs would push the U.S., and maybe the world, into a recession.
Futures tied to U.S. West Texas intermediate crude fell more than 3% to $59.74 on Sunday night. The move comes after back-to-back 6% declines last week. WTI is now at the lowest since April 2021.
Worries are mounting that tariffs could lead to higher prices for businesses, which could lead to a slowdown in economic activity that would ultimately hurt demand for oil.

The tariffs, which are set to take effect this week, “would likely push the U.S. and possibly global economy into recession this year,” according to JPMorgan. The firm on Thursday raised its odds of a recession this year to 60% following the tariff rollout, up from 40%.
Fueled by incentives from the Illinois EPA and the state’s largest utility company, new EV registrations nearly quadrupled the 12% first-quarter increase in EV registrations nationally – and there are no signs the state is slowing down.
Despite the dramatic slowdown of Tesla’s US deliveries, sales of electric vehicles overall have perked up in recent months, with Illinois’ EV adoption rate well above the Q1 uptick nationally. Crain’s Chicago Business reports that the number of new EVs registered across the state totaled 9,821 January through March, compared with “just” 6,535 EVs registered in the state during the same period in 2024.
At the same time, the state’s largest utility, ComEd, launched a $90 million EV incentive program featuring a new Point of Purchase initiative to deliver instant discounts to qualifying business and public sector customers who make the switch to electric vehicles. That program has driven a surge in Class 3-6 medium duty commercial EVs, which are eligible fro $20-30,000 in utility rebates on top of federal tax credits and other incentives (Class 1-2 EVs are eligible for up to $7,500).
The electric construction equipment experts at XCMG just released a new, 25 ton electric crawler excavator ahead of bauma 2025 – and they have their eye on the global urban construction, mine operations, and logistical material handling markets.
Powered by a high-capacity 400 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery capable of delivering up to 8 hours of continuous operation, the XE215EV electric excavator promises uninterrupted operation at a lower cost of ownership and with even less downtime than its diesel counterparts.
XCMG showed off its latest electric equipment at the December 2024 bauma China, including an updated version of its of its 85-ton autonomous electric mining truck that features a fully cab-less design – meaning there isn’t even a place for an operator to sit, let alone operate. And that’s too bad, because what operator wouldn’t want to experience an electric truck putting down 1070 hp more than 16,000 lb-ft of torque!?

The best part? All of the company’s heavy equipment assets – from excavators to terminal tractors to dump trucks and wheel loaders – all use the same 400 kWh BYD battery packs, Milwaukee tool style. That means an equipment fleet can utilize x number of vehicles with a fraction of the total battery capacity and material needs of other asset brands. That’s not just a smart use of limited materials, it’s a smarter use of energy.
