I wonder how much this beast is going to cost when it becomes available (I have a feeling it will be outside my financial reach). And second, where can I find 800-volt DC fast charging stations?

The 500-mile range, if that is really an obtainable number in the wild, gives me the range I need but the lack of fast chargers or chargers of any capability are just not here. I doubt that will change much in the next couple of years. Chargers are needed everywhere, not just along freeways and interstates.

654 horsepower and 620 torque, 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. I'd imagine more range than 500 miles if the numbers were less ludicrous. Tires won't last long that's for sure. Curb weight mentioned anywhere?

I'm going to guess it will come in somewhere between the Silverado and Hummer EVs, between 8 and 10 thousand pounds.

I think Tesla has a map of superchargers available from their website, don't know about other brands. I imagine the dealers that sell them will have to have chargers available for their customers.

I'm seeing 8-bolt hubs on the photo. Did it have so much torque that it needed an upgrade? I'm okay with that if it's the standard 3/4 ton pattern that you can get wheels for anywhere, just wondering.

There are a lot of apps out there that will tell you where chargers are all over the world. They can even help you plan a road trip so that you maximize range and charging. That being said, it's still not as easy as finding a gas station. Or as quick to fill up a tank of gas versus charging the batteries.

saw that also and was wondering the same thing

The concept vehicle also had 8-bolt hubs under the flashy wheel caps that hid those details.
The extra vehicle weight due to batteries may be a contributor.

Pretty neat rig. Prob gonna be $100k+ truck. It can tow 14k lbs, but how far? We’ve seen that towing this much with an EV isn’t really feasible unless it’s for a few miles down the road. I’m sure it’ll take a couple days to charge it to full if you’re charging at home. Have fun paying for those batteries to be changed in 6 to 10 years too.

I know Stellantis has to do something to appease the green climate gods since they were paying so much in carbon penalties and using the good ol American muscle that everyone likes.

It’s cool and all, but I’m still not sold.

My question is how much work is it to replace those batteries? Does the entire body need to be lifted from the frame?

No one know ls yet. So far I think they just trade the vehicles in when it’s time to change the batteries.

Good question, looks like it so.

I know a lot of other Hybrids you can replace yourself going through the rear, but these are on the bottom of the frame, hell they might be PART of the frame is Ram wants to milk the most money out of people.
Non-replaceable batteries.

Good luck if a few cells go back and you just want to replace a few to keep going.

Well if the base Silverado WT 2LT cost $70k, I am going to say, slightly cheaper as the Ram 1500 REV's body is mostly already in production.

Wow, 70Gs for an electric work truck. That is too rich for me, I hope they have an audience willing to spend that amount in quantities that justify its existence.

Limiteds will be 100k

 

[Wirerat]

Take all the claims of range with a grain of salt. We have seen this play out before. See f150 lightning.

Yup. HUGE disappointment.

100k?
More like 120-130 I bet.
