The era of electrification is well underway and no one is exempt; not even pickups! RAM is also revolutionizing this segment with electrified versions of its legendary trucks, namely with the RAMCharger REx 2025 and the RAM 1500 REV 2025. One thing is certain: RAM enthusiasts will not be disappointed!
Both are absolutely exceptional vehicles. Continue reading to discover them in detail to facilitate your choice: technical specifications, trims offered, capabilities, design, range, charging time, technologies… Everything is covered!
First of all, it should be noted that the most significant difference between the two pickups is not in the trims, which are more or less similar, but rather in the fact that the RAMCharger REx is a plug-in hybrid model while the RAM 1500 REV is a purely electric model.
There are many trims for both trucks, much to the delight of drivers. You are sure to find the perfect match! We do not yet have all the official information, but we know that the RAMCharger REx will be the first of the two models to be available on the market and will be offered for the first time as a 2025 model in five trims. The RAM 1500 REV 2025 will arrive later and will be offered in six trims. Here they are:
Right from the base trims, the models are very luxurious and present many amenities and technologies, but as you move up in the range, the offer improves, culminating in the most luxurious and refined version for both trucks, the Tungsten. Official prices will be available later in the year, closer to the release date.
Where the RAM 1500 REV 2025 and the RAM Charger REx stand out significantly from their competitors is in range. In fact, they offer significantly superior range, giving them a significant advantage over their rivals. In the case of the RAM 1500 REV, we are talking about a 100% electric range, which can often be a barrier for buyers when it is too low. This is not the case for this legendary truck, as you'll see below; quite the contrary! It positions itself well beyond its main competitors.
In reality, the RAM 1500 REV offers a choice between two batteries: a 168 kWh battery offering a range of 560 km and a second with greater capacity that offers 800 km of range. It is this higher-capacity battery that gives it an advantage over the competition. However, if your range needs are less important, the lower capacity one will be more than sufficient for your daily travels.
Here are the numbers for the RAM 1500 REV :
RAM 1500 REV | 800 km |
Chevrolet Silverado EV | 724 km |
GMC Sierra EV | 640 km |
Ford F-150 Lightning | 515 km |
If range concerns you, the RAM Charger REx will be the model to choose. Equipped with a 92 kWh battery and a generator that powers this battery even while driving, it can offer a total range of 1,100 km! The purely electric range, however, is estimated at around 250 km, but the official numbers will be available soon.
Regarding charging times, it should first be noted that both trucks are equipped with smart charging ports that allow them to adapt to all three levels (1, 2, and 3), as well as offering a quick disconnect option and a lockable port that protects against weather conditions.
For the RAM 1500 REV, you will only need 10 minutes to recover about 177 km. As for the RAMCharger, you can recover 80.5 km of range in the same time period.
Don't forget that, thanks to the Free2Move app, you will also have access to a vast network of level 2 and 3 public charging stations, allowing you to always stay connected! Additionally, you can pay for your charges directly via the app.
The impressive range offered by the RAM Charger REx is made possible by a combustion engine that is paired with two electric motors - one 250 kW at the front and another 238 kW at the rear - producing a total of an impressive 663 horsepower and 615 lb-ft of maximum torque.
In the case of the purely electric RAM 1500 REV, it is equipped with two 250 kW motors that, combined, produce nothing less than 654 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of maximum torque. So, for those who think electricity doesn't rhyme with power, think again!
Another interesting element to consider is that both trucks possess generators that can be used to power tools, for example. Thanks to this bidirectional power, you can also supply electricity to another vehicle or even to your home in the event of a blackout!
As discussed above, the 130 kWh generator on board the RAM Charger is also specially designed to recharge the 92 kWh battery. Indeed, although it is technically a hybrid truck with a thermal engine, the use of this engine is entirely dedicated to powering the generator. In other words, unlike other hybrid vehicles, there is no direct mechanical path between the combustion engine and the wheels. It operates as a fully electric vehicle would. That's why we talk about the RAM CHarger REx engine as a "range extender" (from which the name REx for "Range Extended" originates) or, in French, offering extended range (from 800 to 1,100 km if we compare the two trucks).
One of the most important criteria in selecting a truck is certainly its towing capacity. You will definitely not be disappointed, neither by the RAMCharger REx nor the RAM 1500 REV, both offering the same impressive towing capacity of 6,350 kg, or 14,000 pounds!
For comparison, its direct competitors, such as those mentioned above, offer a significantly less generous towing capacity, of 10,000 pounds at best. This capacity is even superior to that offered by the gasoline versions of the RAM 1500, which propose a still significant towing capacity (5,253 kg/11,580 lb).
Moreover, the payload for the RAM 1500 REV is 771 kg (1,700 lb), and this increases to 1,179 kg (2,600 lb) in the case of the RAMCharger. It is therefore clear that you will be well equipped for small and large tasks on the site or to engage in all your off-road adventures on the weekend!
The two trucks mark the beginning of the electrification era for RAM pickups and the manufacturer has certainly put all its attention into it! You will find the easily recognizable exterior of the iconic truck, but with a modernized silhouette that is more dynamic than ever.
As for the interior, you will be greeted by high-quality materials and impeccable finishes, in addition to benefiting from numerous technologies and amenities that will make every trip unforgettable.
All trims are equipped with cutting-edge technologies, such as active hands-free driving assistance, one-pedal driving mode, active lane-keeping management, intersection assistance, and much more.
If luxury appeals to you, you can opt for the Tungsten trim which, as usual, will welcome you with unparalleled levels of luxury. Among other things, you will enjoy 3 screens - including a 14.5-inch touch screen, a 12.3-inch interactive one, and another 10.25-inch for the front passenger - decorative genuine wood elements, a high-end Klipsch sound system with 23 speakers, a 1,444-watt amplifier and a high-performance 12-inch subwoofer, and much more!
As you can see, the RAM Charger REx and the RAM 1500 REV are both powerful and high-performance trucks that offer generous capacities and a host of technologies and amenities. Which one to choose between the two? The major difference lies in the engine, with the RAM 1500 REV being a purely electrified truck and the RAM Charger REx a plug-in hybrid truck. If you prefer to jump fully into the electrification era, you can opt for the former, and if range concerns you, you will never be left behind with the 1,100 km provided by the RAM Charger.
