Stellantis Delays Electrified Pickups at Sterling Heights Assembly
- Stellantis has postponed the release of the Ramcharger hybrid to the first quarter of 2026, while the fully electric Ram 1500 REV is now expected to reach dealerships in the summer of 2027 at the Sterling Heights plant.
- The delays were caused by weaker consumer interest in half-ton electric pickups and the need to lengthen the testing phase to resolve quality concerns.
- The Ramcharger, America's first extended-range electric truck, uses a 3.6-liter V6 generator to recharge its battery, while the REV features dual motors with 487 kW power and a 92 kWh battery.

- These delays mean buyers must wait longer for Stellantis’ high-tech electric pickups amid evolving technology, shifting market demand, and ongoing adjustments to product readiness.
