The stated range is nice but when this truck tops out at $130,000 (My estimate for the Tungsten trim) and you still can't do "Truck" stuff with it without sacrificing significant range then sales just aren't going to be great. The Big Three would do MUCH Better with a Serious Hybrid with about a 30-40kwh Battery and one or two electric Motors that have 125hp and 150lb/ft of torque. One mated to a 3.6L straight 6 Turbo engine. The other for the rear axle. Using the electric motors to get the vehicle up to speed from a stop and for extra power when needed. High range, no charging anxiety, plenty of power to do "truck stuff" and all electric range for driving in the city.

Many roads, bridges, and infrastructure are not designed for constant vehicles of that size as these become more popular. I could see car safety needing to be upgraded too to account for impacts with 10,000 lb vehicles being a more common occurrence. It's going to be interesting to see the wave of heavy vehicles coming soon and the impacts on our roads and infrastructure.

Of course we might see vehicles get bigger to expand those zones but that brings with it all the other issues like weight, maneuverability, aerodynamics, etc... I think that on the infrastructure side we have been falling behind on upgrading weight limits anyway so this might be the thing that finally gets the government moving on it.

This truck looks phenomenal! Ram really put in the work on this! One thing tho, on a battery that size, they are advertising 110 miles in 10 minutes under ideal charging conditions at a DC fast charger, just dont try to sit there and top the car off. It'll take well over an hour as the charge speeds will slow down over 80%. Now granted, most (who know about EVs) will just charge to get the range they need and leave, but i know plenty new to the EV life will complain about it. Also, i have to wonder, on a level 2 charger you might have in your home, how long it will take to charge up...i am guessing around 10-16 hrs for full charge.

It’ll still get more than that being the gas motor will be charging the batteries at the same time. It’ll probably get 200-300 which would be crazy.

I love it . I love the styling of the ram trucks . But why is the frame is breaking in half?

I was SURPRISED when I looked at the sticker of the various 2500 king cabs. Would have liked a pic of that ones door sticker. I bet that 500 miles drops into the toilet with full payload, or that real life max payload. I watched you, I believe, do the GMC Ike run. Do that in this, and note the outdoor temp. And do it again in January. Out of Specs, another great reviewer of EV, shows how the cold flat cuts any mileage in half, and that added weight flat makes it unreliable. I'm enjoying your video. Like my 2017 RAM 1500 and 2018 2500 cummins- no plans for any ev.

While I'm not a huge EV fan, I got to admit it does look really nice.

I wanted the concept version soooo bad

I like that it still has the traditional truck look to it

I don’t mind the high trim levels just offer the large battery towing options and power in the work trucks

Looks like Ram will have a competitive EV pickup a few years down the road.

Needs a Rebel model.

I wonder what the range will be when towing something like a 5,000 to 7,000 lb trailer? One test I saw for the lightning wasn't so hot, only 100 miles.

Make a single cab, work style and maybe one elevation up, so normal people can get/want them. That is when they will become good options But, I do get they have to go with the glitz for the roll out.

I can't imagine how much this truck will cost. The top trim RAM is over 100k. These trucks have new technology ( many unproven ) cost the manufacturer way more to produce, and dealers will mark them up. Msrp will probably be around 130k. The dealer will sell it to you for 150k-160k.

They introduced the 100K+ model I wonder what lower trim levels will look like and what other trim levels they will offer.

Funny, Lightning still has better range specs when you look at it from miles per kilowatts. These higher mileage numbers mean nothing if the batteries are bigger and heavier. Thanks for the video.

If RAM solved the towing issues and the miles per charge, they will sell tons of these. They held for awhile and did some research and testing. I hope it paid off for them.

I don't understand this no compromise attitude from ICE owners. You have to regularly take your truck to a gas station and stand in someones chew spit, pay $80 to the oil industry, change oil, and filters, service the engine and transmission, replace parts like alternators and sensors, all so you can go 300 miles without stopping. An EV you charge at home for a couple of dollars, with American made electricity providing local jobs, no maintenance, no check engine light, just get in and go. My big block powered 1 ton gets 10 mpg and has an 18 gallon tank, that's 150 miles, so I have to stop every so often on long trips, it's no big deal. What about the fact that you can't buy an electric pickup with less than 500 hp, and you can go out right now and buy a truck with over 1000 hp, and just wait for the Cybertruck, that thing is gonna be nuts. But you like that all aluminum turbocharged computer controlled piece of junk that keeps you tied to your dealer with no choice and sucking the teat of the oil barons, paying whatever they say? I honestly don't understand. I don't own an Oxygen sensor and I never will.

It's no Revolution concept, but I still think it is by far the best looking and best featured EV pickup on the market. Rivian and Hummer are cool, but they are lifestyle trucks. This is something closer to what I think a general contractor would use. I would love to have one, but the price will probably be more than what you can get a small townhome for.

Seat controls on the door 😂.. so when I wake up from my work nap I have to do a seat up just to get the sit-up! And how many times can I close the door before the controls don’t work anymore??

So sad we have to even have the conversation. Electric is not a long term solution. I’ll keep fixing a gas truck before buying this pos.

That's a good looking truck but I wouldn't take an EV if it was free. Actually I would take it, sell it, and buy something that doesn't require batteries. As always thx for the awesome content.

They actually do want to do that. Toyota/Nissan and Ford/VW/GM were in discussions to do just that but they always fall through. Developing these systems is a huge drain on their financial resources and is making modern vehicles prohibitively expensive for many buyers. Sharing the costs is a win win for everyone, but the issue of who shares the liability if a system fails has been a major sticking point.

What home charger would be good for this one? I see it is a CCS charger. Could you get the Lightning charger installed and be fine for this as well with dual direction charging?

Glad they are making it look like a real truck. They could eliminate some of the fluff to keep the price in line with the average truck owner's budget. I do not need fancy interiors or lots of chrome, just good solid construction and dependability.
