Ram will finally unveil its entry into the electric pickup truck segment on January 5 at 5:30 p.m. eastern time. The automaker has chosen the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to unveil the near-production concept version of what will likely prove to be its most significant model of the decade.
Ram has been teasing the Revolution Concept for some time now, and even went so far as to preview the truck’s design with a video focusing on its clay model. Details on the concept, and by extension the production vehicle that will be based on it, remain sparse, though.
We know, however, that the truck will be based on Stellantis’ upcoming STLA Frame platform for large electric vehicles. At a presentation in 2021, the conglomerate revealed that the frame will measure between 220.5 and 244.1 inches (5,600 – 6,200 mm) in length.

That size will allow vehicles based on the platform to lug around 159-200+ kWh worth of battery packs, which would give said vehicle up to 500 miles (800 km) of driving range on a single charge.
Stellantis said at the time that its STLA platforms will be able to utilize both 400V and 800V technology and to be powered by motors with outputs ranging from 201 hp (150 kW/204 PS) all the way up to 885 hp (660 kW/897 PS).
Based on the competition, we anticipate that the latter powertrain will be selected for this truck. Indeed, Ram CEO Mike Koval Jr. has said in the past that the Revolution “push past” its competitors, and that his brand is “not willing to sacrifice our most core attributes that make a truck a truck,” such as towing and hauling.
More details about the truck, its design, and the tech tricks that Ram buyers can look forward to will be revealed later today, when the automaker takes to the CES show stage to reveal the Ram Revolution concept. You can watch the live event as it happens below.
