However, despite being similar to the current gas-powered models, it comes with futuristic tech. The Rev comes with two battery pack choices. The standard battery pack lasts up to 350 miles of range. However, the optional one has an expected range of 500 miles.
Additionally, the 654- horsepower Rev can carry 2,700 pounds and tow up to 14,000 pounds. For a vehicle of that size, it has an impressive speed of zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. According to Stellantis, the maker of Ram vehicles, the vehicle is capable of sending power back to the grid, powering a home during an outage, and powering worksite tools. Its newer frame design is specifically made for larger electric vehicles. However, it is only due in showrooms in the last quarter of 2024.
