- Ram 1500 EREV (formerly Ramcharger) has been delayed again and will now arrive around April 2027, pushed back from its end-of-2026 target, according to an Automotive News report.
- Jeep's extended-range Wagoneer EV faces a six-month delay and won't enter production until November 2027, after initially being scheduled for earlier this year.
- Stellantis officially killed the fully electric Ram 1500 REV last year after multiple delays, with CEO Antonio Filosa saying Ram had "a much more comprehensive product range" coming.
- Jeep's Grand Wagoneer EREV uses a 92 kWh battery paired with a 3.6-liter V6 engine driving a 130 kW generator, with Stellantis claiming 500 miles of combined range, 647 hp, 620 lb-ft of torque, and a 0-60 mph sprint in five seconds.
- Hyundai, Genesis, Ford, and Scout are all advancing their own extended-range EVs, with Hyundai planning to launch the Santa Fe EREV in the first half of 2027 from its Alabama manufacturing plant.
Why it matters: Stellantis was already late to the US EREV segment, and pushing the Ram 1500 EREV to April 2027 and the Jeep Wagoneer EREV to November 2027 means rivals like Hyundai (launching the Santa Fe EREV in H1 2027 from Alabama) gain months of uncontested shelf time in a powertrain category Stellantis once positioned itself to lead.
