2024 RAM 1500 EV Price, Specs, Photos, Release Date

Ram is entering the all-electric pickup truck segment with a new 1500 EV called the RAM 1500 REV. The automaker unveiled the Ram 1500 Revolution BEV concept at CES 2023, providing our first real look at the upcoming electric truck from the brand. The production model called the RAM 1500 REV was introduced to the public via Super Bowl ads and looks much more like a conventional truck compared to the preproduction concept first revealed. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming electric truck from Ram.

For an electric pickup truck, the Ram 1500 EV concept featured a sleek, streamlined design. The production model RAM 1500 REV features a boxier design than the concept and mimics the design of the larger RAM 1500, though it looks somehow smoother with its bodylines and lack of a grille.

The front end has a slightly raked front fascia, curvy edges, and dramatic lighting. The truck has y-shaped daytime running lights that run nearly the full width of the grille. “RAM” is positioned front and center in the grille and has bright backlighting, while square headlights are located in the middle of the daytime running lights. The back looks much like the current RAM 1500, too, with large r shaped taillights and a conventional tailgate.

The interior of the 1500 Revolution BEV concept still looked very much like a concept. That's not the case for the preproduction model we've now seen plastered across the television and the internet. According to photos from RAM, we can now see that the interior is much busier than the concept had shown.

A large center column with a prominent touchscreen and a bank of physical controls surround it. This is bookended by large rectangular air vents. There's also a touchscreen in the dash for the passenger. There has not been confirmation of the truck's exact features and specifications yet, but we expect the truck to be very close to the preproduction photos shown.

The concept featured a square steering wheel and two screens that total 28 inches in size. The lower screen can be removed and used as a tablet or adjusted in three different configurations. The futuristic seats have integrated grab handles seatbelts, and speakers, and can be removed completely or folded flat. The center console can be removed for extra interior space, while the armrest can transform into a desk. There's no word on which of these features may be available as options on the RAM 1500 REV.

Ram hasn’t confirmed any of the 1500 REV’s tech features, but the truck should come with two screens and a digital instrument cluster. The truck is expected to feature an exterior projector, smart home control that lets owners control their smart home from the infotainment screen, advanced augmented reality, and a heads-up display. The concept featured a lot more innovative tech, like My Day, which is an intelligent trip planning feature that can provide owners with suggestions on what time to leave and what roads to take.

The truck’s Vehicle Personal Assistant feature is a virtual assistant that’s powered by artificial intelligence. It includes a 3D Ram avatar that responds to voice commands from inside and outside the vehicle. Lastly, Shadow Mode will see the truck automatically follow the driver when he or she is walking in front of the vehicle. We're not sure if these features will make it into the production model.

Power figures or specifics on the powertrain aren’t available for the 1500 REV, but we know it's being built on the new STLA Frame platform. With the REV, Ram is looking to become the pack leader in terms of towing, capability, payload, and range. Mike Koval Jr. Ram Brand CEO - Stellantis said in a recent press release, “The Ram brand has redefined the pickup truck segment before and will once again with the all-new Ram 1500 REV. We believe in bringing the right range of powertrain solutions to our customers, and the Ram 1500 REV will be the first in a lineup of electrified solutions that will add to our current award-winning truck lineup. We are on an exciting electrification journey that will see Ram push past the competition in areas customers care about the most: range, payload, towing, and charge time.”

Ram claims that the truck will charge at rates of up to 350 kW and add 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes. The truck may also be available with rear-wheel steering with up to 15 degrees of movement for added maneuverability, as shown in the concept. The production model of the pickup should come with air suspension that has three different modes, which include ingress and egress, aero, and off-road, two electric motors, and an all-wheel drive.

We expect the Ram 1500 REV to come with all of the latest safety features, which are mostly optional on the gas version of the base RAM 1500. However, being a new EV on the market, we expect the REV to step up the game with all the safety features drivers expect, like adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, surround-view cameras, an automated parking system, and tailgate-ajar warning lights, lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror, though a list of standard safety features hasn't been announced.

Ram has confirmed that the concept features Level 3 autonomous driving where the steering wheel retracts and the vehicle doesn’t need any inputs from the driver. If Ram finds a way to put Level 3 tech into production, the Ram 1500 EV will be one of the more advanced semi-autonomous vehicles on the market.
