​
The Ram 1500 REV — previously known as the Ram 1500 Ramcharger — is a revolutionary plug-in hybrid pickup. This powerful truck combines electric driving capabilities with a gasoline-powered engine to give you impressive performance specs and a large driving range. While this model isn't available yet, we do have some information about the 2026 1500 REV's release date and main features. In this guide, we'll tell you everything we know about the upcoming Ram 1500 REV.
The Latest Ram 1500 REV News and Release Timeline
In late 2024, Stellantis announced that there were some delays to the Ram 1500 REV's production schedule. While Ram initially intended to launch a fully electric version of this truck in 2025, it moved the release back and shifted focus to the plug-in hybrid 1500 REV.
The companies decided to make this change since consumer interest was much higher for the plug-in hybrid than the fully electric version. Ultimately, the change in plan will allow Ram to release its first electrified truck and further develop its electric vehicle technology without compromising performance.
Stellantis also recently stated that the 1500 REV will be available in 2026. You'll be able to order one in the first half of next year as well.
Ram 1500 REV Specs and Performance
The 1500 REV is a powerful addition to the Ram 1500 lineup, competing with or exceeding trucks powered only by gasoline. This model has dual electric motors that work with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine to generate a total of 647 horsepower and 610 lb-ft of torque. With this powertrain, you can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. It has such impressive specs because of its hybrid system, which allows for nearly instantaneous torque when you hit the gas pedal.
Another unique feature of this truck's powertrain is that there isn't a direct mechanical path from the engine to the wheels. When you're not using the battery, the 1500 REV's on-board generator converts the engine's mechanical power to electric power that then drives the motors. You can also use the engine to charge the battery.
The 92 kWh liquid-cooled battery pack will allow you to drive about 145 miles on electricity alone. After that, the gas engine takes over and can give you another 545 miles of range. In total, you'll get about 690 miles of driving range with a fully charged battery.
You won't have to worry too much about charging this truck either. Overall, charging is quick and easy. And if there aren't any charging options near you, you can always rely on the gasoline engine and charge the battery when it's convenient. The 1500 REV is compatible with Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 chargers. With DC fast charging, you can add up to 50 miles of all-electric range in only 10 minutes.
If you need to carry heavy loads or tow large trailers, the 2026 Ram 1500 REV can deliver. You'll get a maximum towing capacity of 14,000 pounds and a maximum carrying capacity of 2,625 pounds.
This pickup also offers different drive modes and options that let you manage energy and performance. To change how your truck uses energy, you can choose Electric+ Mode, E-Save Mode, or Eco Mode. There are additional options to change the truck's performance characteristics, including eAWD Mode and eSport Mode.
