2025 Ram 1500 REV's Big Ol' Battery Powers 500-Mile Range
• https://www.cnet.com by Antuan GoodwinAfter wowing us with the CES debut of the Ram Revolution concept in January, Stellantis' truck brand followed up this week with the debut of a much more conventional-looking 2025 Ram 1500 REV at the 2023 New York Auto Show. It's lost some of the more razzle-dazzle features – including the concept's full-length cargo pass-through that I was really looking forward to – and toned the design down a bit, but the production-intent pickup still comes with a truckload of bold, class-leading claims for its range and towing capacity.

Ram's first electric truck is, of course, battery-powered and will be offered with two available capacities at launch. The standard 168-kilowatt-hour pack is estimated to deliver up to 350 miles of cruising range, while an optional 229-kWh large battery bumps that estimate up to 500 miles. Doing the most basic math (without accounting for potential reserve power), that works out to around 2.2 miles per kilowatt-hour.
