RAM, the standalone pickup truck brand from Dodge and Stellantis, teases its new electric pickup truck called the "1500 EV," which aims to debut in the coming year. The new EV venture will focus on one of the first electric vehicles from the brand, being a direct competitor of Ford's F-150 Lightning electric car that made huge waves these past months.
RAM 1500 EV: Aims to 'Steal Thunder' from Ford F-150 Lightning
A teaser tweet from RAM announces and confirms the new RAM 1500 EV that will bring the next-generation clean energy vehicle from the famous pickup truck brand. It is widely known that RAM is also joining the clean energy industry by replacing its gas engines with electric motors that run on battery power.
The brand said that it is "trying to steal some thunder," and it is a direct hint to a brand it considers its rival and competitor, Ford, particularly with the F-150 Lightning EV that launched earlier.
RAM has no explicit details on the clean energy car, only that it will take on the design and name of the 1500 pickup truck line of the company.
Time to steal some thunder. 😎

RAM 1500 EV: Production Starts in Fall 2022
RAM said that the "Ram Revolution" is unleashing by Fall 2022, and it is also the time that reports speculate on the production start of the company for the electric vehicle. For now, it has not revealed any target dates for its release of the clean energy vehicle, significantly as reports also predict that it is coming by 2023 or 2024.
Electric Pickup Trucks Now
The world is already familiar with electric vehicles, and companies like Tesla, Volkswagen, and GM have launched their extensive lineup of EVs in the market now. However, 2021 was the year that marked the rise of electric pickup trucks that teased themselves last 2020, giving people hope for the electric vehicle industry and its future.
It is not only the Ford F-150 Lightning that reigns in the list of an electric pickup truck that gives a promising ride and multiple features on its list. Other companies also have their take on this EV scene that asks for the car with a cargo bay behind.
Note that the GM's Hummer EV is one of the famous ones that has already begun its release for some, with other units coming soon for everyone.
Not to mention the Rivian R1T pickup truck from the famous electric car company startup.
RAM may be releasing their take on electric pickups later than everyone else in the car industry, but that does not mean they are late or have missed the opportunity to bring their EV. It is only marking its beginning for an electric vehicle for all needs, especially with a known brand for its ICE pickup trucks.
