Ram plans to unveil electric 1500 concept this year

NEW YORK — Ram plans to unveil a concept of its electric 1500 pickup this year.

The Stellantis truck brand has shown a few images of what its first battery-electric pickup could look like, but it’s preparing to take the next step with a live concept ahead of the truck’s slated 2024 release, said Ram CEO Mike Koval.

Koval said the company is consulting the public about the electric pickup’s design through its Ram Real Talk Tour, a series of conversations with consumers at various events. The brand says these interactions will help it better understand what the next generation of Ram pickups and vans “must do to meet their needs.”

Koval revealed last summer that a battery-electric 1500 was in the works, adding another contestant to the burgeoning electric pickup space.

“A lot of our Ram Real Talk feedback is influencing that design,” Koval told Automotive News during the auto show here. “That design will then influence the product that we bring to market, so it’s all connected. There’s a master plan.” read more
