Ram EV Truck Killed by Americans Who Still Like Gas Fumes
In a stunning plot twist nobody saw coming (except maybe anyone not wearing EV goggles), Stellantis confirmed on a Friday that itās pulling the plug on the Ram 1500 REV, its electric Napoleonic bid to conquer Americaās pickup throne once held by Ford's F-150 Lightning. Despite planting its flag with 500-mile range bravado, the REV bowed out thanks to "slowing demand" across North America. Tesla quietly deleted the Cybertruckās rear-wheel-drive long-range package, catering to those who prefer slipping on ice over range anxiety. Edmunds told BI that buyers cling to ancient loyalty, high prices, and unwillingness to lease trucks susceptible to aftermarket mayhem. Meanwhile, Honda is slashing EV investments from $69 billion to $48.4 billion, betting hybrids will save the day. As Ivan Drury sums it up, automakers overpromised and underdeliveredābecause why simply ride the EV wave when you can crash spectacularly instead?

Selling electric trucks to pickup loyalists is like trying to sell vegan hotdogs at a Texas BBQ: theoretically possible, practically a death sentence.
If you want a truck tough enough to haul a load and a lifetime of bad decisions, leasing an EV isnāt on the menuājust ask the Ram 1500 REV.
