As the automotive industry enters a new era of electric vehicles, Ram is leading the way with a groundbreaking plug-in hybrid truck. The all-new 2026 Ram 1500 Ramcharger is breaking limits as the world's first range-extended electric pickup. It's designed for drivers who need a Ram truck's legendary strength but want hybrid sustainability.
Crafted with Ram’s signature eye-catching exterior design and equipped with a unique and innovative powertrain that blows the previous range out of the water. This truck features a forward-leaning grille, an electrified R-A-M badge, an EV-specific premium LED taillight design, and 22-inch aluminum wheels.

A Marvel of Modern Engineering and Power
This range-extended electric truck is a marvel of modern engineering.
But first, we will explain what “extended range” refers to. The Ramcharger utilizes a unique body-on-frame platform, but instead of just two electric motors, a gas-fed V-6 engine is located under the hood, serving as a generator. As the battery depletes, the gas engine kicks in to help recharge. This hybrid system allows the Ramcharger to switch seamlessly between electric and gasoline power, optimizing efficiency and eliminating range anxiety. The operation is similar to a plug-in hybrid.
