Ram EV spotted

Looks like one of the Ram EV test mules has been spotted in the wild:

Ram 1500 EV prototype spotted testing

We're finally getting to see electric Ram 1500 prototypes out testing. These spy photos show a test mule with details of the electric model.

It's common practice to build test mules and "hide" them under prior year or different platform bodies.

If it has tow performance like the Ford I have no interest. 80 miles range towing a little camper is ridiculous for a truck. They have alot of work to do. I saw that Lippert is working on a camper frame that houses backup battery pack, in hopes to work with manufacturers to be able to charge the truck from the camper reserve pack.
I say no thanks, my diesel will do.

Wonder if they'll give it a clever name?
Ramcharger maybe?

Living where I do, you see camouflaged vehicles all the time on the roads, usually in packs of two to three.

I would love to share with you all the fun stuff I know, I've got two of my five sons working in EV powertrain solutions, one for GM and the other for ZF (a major supplier of EV solutions).

While it sounds big, earth-setting, and fantastic, it really isn't. Think of the Gartner Hype Cycle graphs of inflated expectation (current state of the RAM EV) followed by a downward slide of disillusionment (when we see what is offered) to the upward trend of enlightenment and finally reaching the plateau of reality.

I'm in several of the facilities of both GM & ZF, get to see a few things. The areas are "photo sensitive" and if they catch you snapping pics it's the end of you working there.

Funny how they used a damaged rear bumper on the rear of that prototype
