The upcoming Ram 1500 Revolution EV pickup truck won’t be unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show as Stellantis previously announced. Now, it will officially debut at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January 2023.
As GM Authority previously reported, the Ram 1500 EV was originally slated to be revealed this fall. Intended to serve as Ram’s entry into the EV pickup range, the Ram 1500 Revolution follows Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 project, which aims to offer electrified models in a majority of segments by 2025 and in all segments by 2030. This move towards electrification will allow Stellantis to deliver innovative, clean, safe and affordable mobility solutions.
Once launched, the Ram 1500 Revolution will rival the Chevy Silverado EV and the GMC Sierra EV.
As a reminder, GM unveiled the fully electric Chevy Silverado EV earlier this year at the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show, pulling the wraps on a fully electric version of the popular pickup nameplate. The General revealed two trim levels, including the fleet-oriented Silverado EV WT, as well as the well-appointed Silverado EV RST.
Meanwhile, the Sierra EV was unveiled just last month. Debuting in Denali Edition 1 form, this range-topping variant will be joined by lower trim levels at a later date.
Both electric trucks are powered by a dual-motor e4WD powertrain incorporating GM Ultium Battery technology and GM Ultium Drive motor technology, with range-per-charge estimated at up to around 400 miles. Both EV pickups develop 754 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque in their most powerful configurations.
Under the skin, the Chevy Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV sit on the GM BT1 platform, which is also shared with the Hummer EV Pickup and Hummer EV SUV.
Production will begin at the GM Factory Zero plant, previously known as the GM Detroit-Hamtramck plant in Michigan, early next year.

This electric Ram is late to the party. Ford has sold hundreds of Lightnings, and GM will deliver many of their electric trucks before RAM sells its first one. The only way this Ram will affect the other two is if the price is lower. Then this truck will kill Cybertruck reservations for good.
No ram will ever beat a Chevy. No matter how much ram or ford thinks their better than Chevy, they are fooling nobody but themselves.
Chevy is the best.
It looks like the truck they were going to reveal was probably behind the other trucks in range, capabilities, etc and so they are going to delay it by a few months to try to make it more in line with where they need to be.
Stellantis, I mean PSA, is new to large US trucks & will need to play catch up. FCA NA/Mopar are great with ICE pick ups but have no BEV engineering experience & have only been working with RAM platform, USCW, LX & Guilia since FIAT entered the picture in 2010.
PSA using multiple EV platforms is an unusual twist, too, that only complicates things.
The first Ram electric truck will not be sold to the public until 2025 at a very low volume because they do not have a battery plant. And Ford is not making a profit off the Lightning F-150 because they are out-sourcing everything on the truck including the battery. Farley had to admit this fact last quarter, Ford raised the price by $8,000.00 to help cut the losses.
Thank You!! Ford outsources all EV projects when they probably should have just purchased Lucid when they had they chance. Even Lordstown must have some valuable technology.
Seeking Alpha is calling Ford a technology company expecting the stock to more than double. They predict $90 a share for GM which would be realistic if not for US tensions with China. GM, VW, Nissan, Volvo & other Chinese brands (and the new firms like Tesla and Rivian) are the only OEM’s poised to make money.
It’s still just a battery powered toy for rich folks. I’ll keep my ICE truck and my 700+ mile range. Thanks, anyway.
