But now, 2025 Ram drops the Hemi entirely for 3.0 I6, with 2 big fans attached. And full electric and the Ramcharger name returns for the electric Ram with range extender engine. Oh, that range extender is the base 3.6 V6. Well, that's a way to install an extender. No word on if it's V6 to generator and electric motors or basically an E mode hybrid drivetrain.


Edit, found Ram confirmation. It literally is the electric Ram with a V6 under the hood too. So basically 2 trucks and no frunk. But really, we need the Pentastar as the range extender engine?
I have been waiting on one of y'all to comment on this. Getting rid of the hemi is sad, but the V6 to charge the batteries seems like overkill? I mean do they just have a lot of those sitting around and so we're trying to find uses for them? I like the idea of a range extender, but that does not seem like the best option.
