Ram CEO Mike Koval today confirmed the 2024 arrival of a fully electric Ram 1500 pickup. The announcement from Ram is a timely one, as the full-size EV pickup arena is currently red-hot and volatile, with legacy manufacturers Ford and General Motors vying with upstarts including Rivian, Lordstown and Tesla for consumer and commercial dominance. The Ram 1500 EV will utilize the STLA Frame platform, its projected 500-mile maximum range far outpacing the recently unveiled Ford F-150 Lightning‘s projected 300-mile range. However, we’re still in the embryonic stages of the full-size EV pickup reality, and the forthcoming range wars will certainly prove entertaining. That includes electric versions of Ram trucks, Jeep SUVs and Dodge muscle cars.
