However, the Ram 1500 Ramcharger range extender will launch in the first half of 2025 due to "strong consumer interest" December 18, 2024 11:54 The Ram 1500 REV will launch in 2026, more than a year later than originally planned.

Swedish battery maker Northvolt filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States last month, a major setback for Europe's efforts to reduce its reliance on Chinese battery suppliers. The move is intended to restructure debt and secure new funding. While the process is expected to be completed early next year, the company said it will be business as usual for the time being. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106 -c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8"); } else { adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f"); Behind the scenes, however, Handelsblatt reports that several carmakers may have to postpone future models due to problems with Northvolt.
