Automakers will often trademark a term to protect intellectual property, whether they plan to use it or not.<\/p>\n<p>However, there&#8217;s the possibility REV will be the term Ram uses for range-extended electric vehicles, with BEV remaining for battery-electric vehicles. Ram CEO Mike Koval, Jr. told Motor Authority at April&#8217;s 2022 New York auto show that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1135631_ram-boss-trx-lives-on-past-dodge-hellcats-no-turbo-4-for-ram-pickups\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">range-extended Ram truck was planned<\/a>. He said it will arrive alongside the electric 1500, though he didn&#8217;t say whether it will be part of the 1500 family or a different line of Ram trucks.<\/p>\n<p>He did however say that a range-extended Ram would &#8220;have everything a BEV does but more,&#8221; in reference to capability and more importantly, range. It&#8217;s possible Ram ends up marketing the electric 1500 toward lifestyle buyers and the range-extended truck toward buyers looking to tow or haul heavy loads\u2014situations that can severely deplete an EV&#8217;s battery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ram will use the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show on next week in Las Vegas to present its 1500 Revolution BEV, a concept truck previewing a potential design for an electric 1500 due in 2024.
