Ram shows off its first fully electric pickup truck at CES, due 2024

On Thursday, Ram unveiled its first all-electric pickup truck concept at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Ram is the last Detroit three to show off his full-size EV pickup. Ford’s F-150 Lightning will launch in his 2022, and Chevrolet showed off the Silverado EV at his CES last year. However, production of the Chevy EV is scheduled for 2024, the same time the Ram 1500 BEV is launched.

“The Ram 1500 Revolution BEV Concept is the clearest signal that we are on the brink of something extraordinary with Ram, and a direct indication of where we are heading in our electrification journey. At Ram, we’ve redefined what a pickup truck can be, and by offering the best electric pickup on the market, we’ll push aside what our competitors are offering and will do so again,” said Ram. CEO Mike Koval Jr.

Ram’s design team decided to give the Ram 1500 Revolution BEV a very modern look, but some of them, like the pillarless “suicide door”, won’t make it to production versions in a few years. It’s possible. The concept also employs a side-view camera instead of a reflector. Unless I’m mistaken, regulations need to change to make these road-legal in the US.

Technical specs are limited given the nature of the show truck concept and the fact that we have two more years before we see one we can buy. says there is. This is his one of four new dedicated EV platforms being developed by Ram’s parent company Stellantis.

With a twin-motor, all-wheel-drive layout and battery running at 800 V, the truck is capable of up to 350 kW of DC fast charging, adding 100 miles (160 km) of range, according to Ram. increase. In 10 minutes. We also know it has up to 15 degrees of rear wheel steering. Earlier, Stellantis said that the STLA Frame EV he will use packs with capacities from 159 kWh to 200 kWh. However, information such as range, payload and towing has not yet been released.

The interior, with its large openings, looks very funky in the images Lam provided us with, including productivity mode, party mode, relax mode, and social mode, with interior lighting, seat positions, orientation, and more. Greenhouse opacity, truck suspension, sound system and display.

According to Ram, the new truck will have a much more roomy interior than the current Ram 1500, with third-row jump seats attached to an electric midgate, and long cargo up to 18 feet (5 m). can also be passed through. The center console can also transform into a workstation, just like the F-150 Lightning.

Ram also put quite a bit of technology into the 1500 Revolution BEV concept. It has an AI personal assistant and a shadow mode that allows the truck to slowly follow the driver as he exits the cab and walks. This is useful when someone needs to travel a short distance on a work site, says Ram. (And the sensors and cameras are there to prevent trucks in shadow mode from getting too close to humans and being run over.)

Augmented reality heads-up displays are now becoming a must-have in the automotive industry, and the highly trending 1500 Revolution BEV concept features camera feeds and information. Using the mobile app it measures payloads and shows you how to best load them.The angled infotainment screen is actually a pair of 14.2-inch screens with the bottom screen removed to fit the tablet There is also an onboard projector that turns the truck into a mobile cinema (screen not included).

Additionally, Ram brought a robotic inductive charger to CES for home charging. The robot will handle the alignment of the charging pads underneath the vehicle, which he says solves one of the longstanding criticisms of wireless EV charging.
