How is the 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger Powered?
The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger seamlessly meshes a 3.6L V6 engine equipped with a 130-kilowatt-hour onboard generator, ushering in a completely new performance system from Ram. The spirited system uses two Electric Drive Modules (EDM), providing all-wheel drive operation with a 250-kilowatt front EDM and a 238-kW rear EDM. The EDMs are powered by a liquid-cooled 92-kWh battery pack which Ram meticulously crafted to efficiently integrate pouch cell modules in a parallel setup. This inventive power pack is centered beneath the floor of the truck to ensure a flat surface for loading cargo. Ram is giving Ramcharger owners a user-friendly and quick recharging option, allowing the battery to be recharged for 50 miles of all-electric driving range in approximately ten minutes when a 400-volt DC fast charger is used. With this setup, Ram is targeting a best-in-class total driving range of 690 miles!
How Does That System work?
This groundbreaking system operates differently from many of its competitors. The power delivery process begins with the V6 engine creating mechanical power, which is sent down a sequential path to the onboard generator. The generator converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy to serve multiple purposes. This includes recharging the battery when it is low on range or activating it when the driver wants to save the battery's capacity. Furthermore, the electrical power from the generator contributes to the high-voltage bus, where the EDMs collect power from both the generator and battery, providing maximum power output. This results in the system having no direct mechanical running from the engine to the wheels. To optimize efficiency in optimal road conditions, the Ramcharger uses a front wheel-end disconnect, allowing the front wheels to spin freely. The second EDM on the rear axle is accompanied by an electronic locking differential for enhanced control when road conditions are dicey.
What Makes the Ram 1500 Ramcharger So Capable?
By combining a 3.6L V6 engine with an onboard generator and two electric motors, the Ramcharger targets 663 horsepower and 615 lb-ft of torque. This power allows for a best-in-class towing capacity of 14,000 pounds with a class 5 hitch, a best-in-class 2,625-pound payload capacity, and a 4.4-second 0-60 time! In addition to the Ramcharger's impressive power, drivers also enjoy class-leading handling and ride quality with a multi-link independent rear suspension with a segment-exclusive standard four-corner air suspension with active leveling. This air suspension system is fully adjustable, enabling five different modes. The first mode is normal, which is the default ride height setting. Next is entry/exit, lowering the truck to its lowest setting for easy entrance and exits. Aero mode is next, lowering the ride height slightly to optimize aerodynamics to enhance fuel efficiency and on-road performance. Meanwhile, off-road 1 raises the ride height, increasing ground clearance for off-roading. Lastly, for more challenging off-road terrain, off-road 2 raises the ride height to the maximum setting. The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger is built on the revolutionary STLA Frame platform, tailor-made for full-size electric vehicles with a body-on-frame design. This state-of-the-art high-strength steel frame is constructed from advanced materials, ensuring a balance between lightweight construction, stiffness, and durability. The widened middle section of the STLA Frame efficiently accommodates the battery pack while benefiting from the protective structure provided by the frame rails.
