US pick-up specialist Ram has confirmed plans to launch an all-electric version of its Ram 1500 pick-up in 2024, promising features that "surpass competitors". Confirmed as part of parent company Stellantis' EV Day event on Thursday night, Ram announced its first battery-electric vehicle would launch in 2024 as a zero-emissions version of its staple Ram 1500 pick-up – currently offered in Australia in petrol-powered 'DS' and 'DT' generation guises.
