US EditionStellantis Delays Electrified Pickups at Sterling Heights Assembly
- Stellantis has pushed back the launch of the Ramcharger extended-range hybrid pickup to the first quarter of 2026, while the fully electric Ram 1500 REV is now expected to arrive in dealerships by mid-2027 at the Sterling Heights facility in Michigan.
- These delays follow earlier postponements due to slowed consumer demand for half-ton battery electric pickups and extended quality validation periods.
- The Ramcharger combines a 3.6-liter engine charging a 92kWh battery with electric motors delivering about 487kW and 834Nm, while the 1500 REV offers a dual-motor AWD system at 488kW and 841Nm with a 168kWh battery.
- Ram postponed the 1500 REV launch from 2024 to 2027, canceling its planned 500-mile long-range variant, citing weakening full-size electric pickup sales including competitors like Ford Lightning.
- The delays imply Stellantis is adapting to evolving market conditions and customer expectations while ensuring product quality before releasing its electrified pickups.

Ram postpones electric 1500 REV and Ramcharger (again)
We hate to sound like a broken record, but after having told you the all-electric Ram 1500 REV and the extended-range Ramcharger pickup wouldn’t go on sale in 2024 as originally planned, but would see their launch pushed to 2025; and then again that it would be delayed until 2026 — well, now it looks like it could appear in 2027, potentially badged as a 2028 model.
