CAUGHT: We Get Our First Look At The Ram 1500 Battery-Electric Pickup!​

Expect To See A Conceptual Version Next Month...​

For the first time, spy photographers have captured a Ram 1500 BEV (battery-electric vehicle) prototype in the open. Sitting atop the STLA Frame architecture, Ram chose a 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab body with a 6-foot, 4-inch box for this mule. An evolution of the Ram 1500 DT platform, the updated STLA Frame platform was designed and engineered to offer flexibility for internal combustion engine (ICE), hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and BEV variants in various widths and lengths accommodating multiple applications.

i looks to have a rear independant suspension.... dont know if thats good or bad

if it looks like a regular ram pickup it will sell better than the drawing that has been going around.

Ground-breaking design aside, I can’t help but notice that REPB is absent from that list. I’m guessing the REPB will be a later reveal? That being said, it would be hard to say no to 1320hp (tri-motor config).

The electric motors are impressive, but the motors are the easy part - it's the battery that matters. Unless Ram has truly innovative batteries, this truck will disappoint in the real world, just as the F150 Lightning & Hummer EV1 have been huge disappointments so far.

It's the REPB that will be interesting.

Hey...where's the Hemi hood insignia?

What's the payload? Will there be enough to carry the self righteousness one feels when saving the planet?

I really hope they make it look similar to the normal Ram DT. Aerodynamics are one thing, but it would still be nice if it looked like a truck, not a big partially melted SUV with a pickup box. either way, excited to see the potential future of Ram Trucks!

Give me 1000 miles range and 1 minute charging and I'll buy one.

Just one observation. I hope the production model doesn't have the silly high beltline side windows which we have all come to know and love about the Camaro.
Yeah. I get it. "Aerodynamics, and bla, bla, bla..." Still.

It's a concept vehicle.

Yep. There's no chance that panoramic windshield survives on the production models.
