It looks ugly and smaller to me. Maybe it will gro on me

Those are just renderings. I would hope that Ram could come up with something better than an Avalanche copycat.

Gotta read to the end of your linked article and you'd know it may not be close to looking like that.

"In terms of aesthetics, all we can do is speculate, which is exactly what our talented friend Joao Kleber Amaral did in these exclusive renderings. They’re obviously based on the Silverado EV, but he did a good job on the front fascia and the slightly more futuristic and streamlined profile.?


So, basically...they are full of ****

 

[bigdodge]

why do the people who design the electric vehicles have to make them so butt ugly and futuristic????

 

[jloops]

RAM has way better taste than that.

 

[UnclJim]

why do all electric vehicles need to look "futuristic" ? cant they just look like a " normal vehicle"?

That rendering is better looking than any of the other coal powered trucks I've seen... but that's not saying much.

Hopefully, it will look better, there will be a lot of renderings in the next few years

Coal only accounts for 19.3% of US electricity production. Would be much more accurate to call them Natural Gas trucks but even they would likely be inaccurate by 2024 as many utilities are moving away from Natural gas as well. I personally charge my phev with wind energy but my overall utility is 32% gas, 27% wind, 21% coal, 13% nuclear, 3% solar and 4% other carbon free sources.

I'm in a weird spot. I want my next truck to be an electric Ram, so I want them to come out with something great with usable range (though it doesn't have to necessarily match the 800+ miles I'm getting on a tank.) So, I want it to be great, but I don't want it to be so great that there is no interest/trade-in value for my current truck. I guess what I really need is for there to be enough diesel die-hards who will never go electric and will be there waiting for my truck when I ready to go electric.

That said, we're enjoying our truck so much, I can't see me trading for many years and I'd be happy if the next one looked exactly like my current truck.

Think the battery will leak along with the back window? How are we going have a tallywacker waving contest about which engine oil to use, or cold air intakes?

don't worry, Summit will come out with "high flow-super conductor" battery cables, "good for 10+h.p gain", and we can all argue about that.

No thanks. No matter what it looks like. I might be open to a true plug-in hybrid, but I’ll be staying away from EV’s as Long as I can.

That's okay. Not everyone gets my humor.

The F150 Lighting is pretty close to normal I think.

 

[NHRoadking]

EVs have a lot of things I like. I expect my new truck or the one after will be an EV.

The only thing holding me back now is the lack of charging stations for road-trips. That will change though.

 

[HemiDude]

Looks a ton like the 1st gen Ridgeline I had. Not enough bed in that to really use like a truck

agreed, also as sad as I am to say I like the look of the KIA ev6. Not that i would buy the Kia......lol

Fair enough critique - been seeing a number of these ev threads going south with 'alternative facts' for posters political sensitivities lately and perhaps have become roo quick to act before considering other motives!
