Say goodbye to range anxiety with the upcoming RAM 1500 EV at Key Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Newcastle
The electric vehicle (EV) market is booming as automakers race to create powerful, efficient, and stylish models to please the eco-conscious consumer. One segment gathering much attention is electric trucks. While other brands lead this charge, it's time for a new contender in Newcastle, ME: The RAM 1500 EV.
This upcoming electric truck from RAM promises to shake up the game with its innovative range-extending solution. As confirmed in a CES 2023 interview with Stallantis CEO Carlos Tavares, the upcoming RAM 1500 EV plans to incorporate an onboard range extender, elevating the truck as a worthy competitor.
What is a Range-Extender?
A range extender is a small, compact generator housed within the truck, serving as a backup power source. This innovative technology aims to allow drivers like those around Augusta, ME, to travel further distances without suffering from range anxiety. So, if the battery runs low, the range extender can kick in and supply additional power to the electric motor for extra miles until you reach a charging station.
Adding the new range-extender will make the RAM 1500 EV an attractive option for tradespeople near Lewiston, ME, and drivers in rural areas who require long-distance capabilities from their trucks or have limited access to charging stations.
The Potential Impact on the Electric Truck Market
The new RAM 1500 EV range extender could significantly impact the electric truck market, providing a sustainable solution to one of the most significant barriers to EV adoption: range anxiety. RAM could tap into a wider customer base and challenge its competitors by offering a safety net for drivers concerned about running out of charge during long trips or when towing heavy loads.
