Ram scrapped its electric pickup, but it will sell you this Christmas ornament for $30

No, Ram is still not planning to launch the all-electric pickup we’ve been waiting for, but it is selling this mini one for $30 for Christmas.

Ram is selling a mini EV pickup for Christmas

Former Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares promised Ram’s electric pickup would outperform the competition with class-leading range, charging speeds, towing, and more, but it was all just a pipe dream.

After delaying the long-awaited Ram 1500 REV several times, Stellantis made it official in September. Ram’s EV pickup was first expected to launch in 2024, then pushed back to 2025, then 2026, and now it’s canceled altogether.

Development of the all-electric Ram truck has been shut down, and the Ramcharger, a range-extended electric vehicle (REEV), will take its place in the lineup.

Although you won’t be able to get your hands on a full-size model, Ram will sell you a mini version this Christmas.

On its website, Ram is selling a 2026 Ram 1500 REV Hallmark Keepsake ornament for $29.95. It’s made with authentic details based on the all-electric pickup and even includes a 2025/2026 license plate and spinning wheels.

Ram’s range-extended pickup is equipped with dual electric motors, a 92 kWh battery, a 3.6 L V-engine, and a 27-gallon gas tank that CEO Tim Kuniskis claims delivers “unlimited” range of up to 690 miles. The REEV is Ram’s most powerful pickup, packing 647 horsepower and 610 lb-ft of torque.

Crosstown rival Ford announced similar plans earlier this week. Ford ended production of the all-electric F-150 Lightning, and plans to replace it with a next-gen EREV version.

So, if Ram has no plans to offer an all-electric pickup, why is it selling a Christmas ornament? Maybe it really was planning to launch it at one point in time.
