Ram closes reservations for its first electric truck, the 1500 REV, after 5 days

Ram Trucks has officially closed reservations for its first electric truck, the Ram 1500 REV, after opening them on Super Bowl Sunday.

Ram closes reservations for the 1500 REV electric truck

The highly anticipated electric truck was officially revealed in its production form this past Sunday during the super bowl.

After showing its Ram Revolution (REV) concept model at CES in January, with unique features like detachable third-row seating, grand saloon doors, up to 18-foot cargo storage, and an autonomous robot charger, fans were hyped for the release.

Although the production model skipped many of these features, opting for a classic Ram 1500 design with modern accents, the company still believes its electric truck will start a “revolution.”

Despite several EV trucks already in high demand, like the Rivian R1S and Ford F-150 Lightning, and many more set to hit the market, Ram has consistently claimed its 1500 REV will:

Push past the competition in areas customers care about the most: range, payload, towing and charge time.

After the electric truck debuted during the Super Bowl, potential buyers could reserve their spot in line by signing up for an exclusive REV Insider+ membership program for a $100 refundable fee at RamREV.com.

It's a Good Thing to limit 1st year production run BETA TESTERS ! It will take Stellantis a MINIMUM of 3 years to debug & get it properly road worthy. That is IF they bring in their EV KNowledge and apply it but as that knowledge is from Overseas, it likely will be very limited if it comes at all.

Just look at the Myriad of Issues Ford has run into... failed screens, faulty software, faulty battery packs mechanical weaknesses that ALL popped out after people started getting them and using them... That's what they get for buying from a LagTard Company that twaddled away the years... What GM is going to push out is also on barely a BETA level as they are not tapping into their overseas resources.

Best Case Scenario is to wait 3 Years after the vehicle is in Full Production for it to be debugged and working to specs. MOPAR is typically 3-5 Years for full debug of a new model. (Just ignore the models they could not debug and just cancelled instead).

It seems fans got the message. As of Friday, February 17, 2023, the Ram REV Insider+ program has reached max capacity due to high demand, thanks to a tip from Ram1500revolutionforum.com. Those still interested can sign up for the latest updates by entering their email and zip code and will be first to know when/ if capacity has been reached.

Electrek’s Take

This is not the first time we have seen significant pent-up demand for an electric truck, or any EV for that matter.

Ford gather almost 200,000 reservations for its F-150 Lightning by December 2021, representing around three years of backlog. Although not a truck, the Cadillac Lyriq sold out in 19 minutes, showing demand for electric vehicles from all segments continues building momentum.

Although we don’t know how much “high demand” is, I’m sure the EV truck is seeing plenty of demand, with many looking for zero-emission truck options in the future.
