Are you interested in getting a new fully electric pickup truck in Anderson, IN? Then the upcoming Ram 1500 REV might be ideal for you. The Ram 1500 REV is the first fully electric Ram truck, and it will come with a unique version that might be especially appealing to customers at Mike Anderson Dodge - Marion: the Ram 1500 Ramcharger.
What is the Ram 1500 Ramcharger?
The Ramcharger is a Ram 1500 REV with a unique design option for Muncie drivers: it can charge itself. How? Well, the Ramcharger combines the battery and electric motors of the Ram 1500 REV with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine and a 27-gallon fuel tank. This gives the Ramcharger a total driving range of up to 690 miles. This far eclipses the Ram 1500 REV, which comes standard with an estimated range of 350 miles on a full charge and an estimated available range of about 500 miles.
Not an Ordinary Hybrid: A Fully Electric Truck with a Gas-Powered Generator
The presence of a V6 gas engine might make you think the Ramcharger is a hybrid. However, the gas engine provides no power to the wheels, which are powered entirely by the electric motors. Instead, the gas engine acts as a generator, keeping the battery charged without having to pull over at a charging station. Because the Ramcharger uses both gasoline and electricity, it technically qualifies as a plug-in hybrid. But the unique powertrain is unlike any hybrid vehicle currently on the market for Kokomo customers.
Continuing the Ram Truck Tradition
The Ramcharger name is no accident; this truck is named after the iconic Dodge SUV that was built on a Ram truck chassis. The Ramcharger is designed to continue the tradition of rugged design and powerful performance you expect from a Ram truck. The Ramcharger can tow up to 14,000 pounds and haul up to 2,625 pounds in the truck bed.
