Honestly I would be more excited if ram, or any of the other big truck makers,came out with really fuel efficient hybrid trucks. 30 mpg or better at a price we can actually afford. Ev trucks are crazy expensive.
They already did. The d Diesel 1500 did 30+. They are going to make it tho and replacing it with this pos
@@trevorforbes2382 not everyone wants a diesel
@@rmitchell1 so you want two drive trains making it the truck less reliable with more to break and the battery that is actually worse for the environment lol. Or you talking about the full ev that is just a useless POS. If you don’t want diesel get gas. But if your that worried about mpg diesel is it.
@Trevor Forbes Hybrids don't have to be unreliable. Everything has its pros and cons. Toyota has been building super reliable hybrid platforms for over a decade now.
@@canyonero2050 Its simple logic. More moving parts means more that can break. Yes Toyota has been making them for years and the junk yards, and salvage actions are full of them! The batteries don't last! They are also really expensive to replace. This way hybrid DON'T hold there value! Look at any of the Suv out there that makes a normal version and a hybrid.You'll see the normal version hold there value better. So the only pro a hybrid has is better mpg but even that can be argued against since they cost more to buy, lose value quicker and will need to be replace sooner. I'm sure that off sets the added cost of gas if you keep the normal version long enough. Plus like I said before they are worse for the environment on top of that! The pollution from making the battery, mixed with the shorter life of the car and the problem of what to do with the batteries once they are dead is way greater than the added fuel burnt in a normal car.
The Ram Revolution looks impressive though a lot of it may not make production. The 1969 Charger EV is outstanding , hope they build it.
@Technologically Challenged Tech I agree the Airflow is generic looking , blah . Loved the gangster style the 300 originally had .
Nice video thank you Alex!!!
The two doors on the charger harkens back to the late 60s and 70s chargers a tribute to the muscle cars
Truck, really like the cargo bed design. Instead of wheel wells being in the way, a proper square box for utility. The SUV, blah. The Charger! Insanely sharp/HOT! Wish they would have done this back in 2006 with the V8 Hemi! While I am not an EV enthusiast, this style would have me getting out my check book. This style is what the Charger was meant to be. A 2 door mean machine. BTW Alex, the front wing design is in a lot of performance cars. You're just not used to seeing them. lol
This Charger is a much better interpretation of the '68-'70 Charger than the 4 door version they have been selling for the last 10 or 12 years. I like the center console that runs all the way from the front to the rear bucket seats That is a reference to the '66 and '67 first gen Charger....one of the best interiors ever. I wonder if the rear buckets flip down and form a flat deck like the original '66 & '67 Charger? It was pretty impressive that you could actually lay down and sleep back there.
I liked your comment for the fact you referred to the original 66 - 67 Charger. I agree about the backseat/center console being from that version. I hope they bring this out before 2025.
I was thinking the same thing!
The 4 door release in 2006 was a dramatic disappointment. I heard the news that after 20 years they were coming back and I was ecstatic for it. I was in a dealership having routine maintenance done on my 2002 Dodge Dakota, was approached by an employee to see how things were going. I told them how excited I was for the new Charger and could not wait to see it in person. They said there was 1 on the showroom. I said say what? I was just in there, didn't see it. They walked in with me and pointed it out. I was floored with horror. They ruined it! I said when is the 2 door coming out? They are not making a 2 door. They ruined it! 😡🤬 Fingers crossed this sculpted piece of art will be produced as is. (buy 1 as is buy another and put in a Hemi V8)👺👹
Retailing $80,000 to $130,000+ with record inflation, record job losses, climbing interest & utility rates, Ram like Ford & GM all way behind the EV financial times.
As Coal plants in Colorado and other states being shut down our utility rates are more than doubling.
🙏THANKS ALEX 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE ✌️
I know you comment that the Airflow is the least exciting but if you start looking at the small details like the door jambs, door latches, weatherstripping and that it has side marker lights you quickly see that this car is VERY close to production ready. The Charger and Ram Rev are cool but with all their carbon fiber and hand made interior parts you can tell that they are much longer off from production.
the Charger looks awesome 👍🏼
Ram should be focusing on the heavy duty department. Making a 4500 pickup to compete with f450. Make a effective hybrid diesel and more affordable trim levels that have what people need for less.
Camera side mirrors are neat, but my concern is redundancy if it fails. Many rear view mirrors that have a camera function still also have a standard mirror capability.
Even looking at a standard side mirror, the only way it fails is if it becomes obstructed or detached. Both easy fixes: roll down the window and clear, or use some duct tape to put the mirror back on.
Retractable mirrors that store inside the body when not needed, with the ability to manually extend them even if the motor fails like powered towing mirrors
Camera mirrors won't make it to production because safety regulations don't allow them.
@@TJY2K the same argument can be made about autonomous driving; industry and lobbyists drive change if there is enough profit in it
I get the "ooh-ahh" appeal of the ide of camera mirrors, but I kinda doubt the increase in efficiency would be great enough to justify the increased complexity, increased vulnerability, and higher chance of interference that come with having a camera instead of a mirror. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think I'd still rather have a big piece of glass.
The airflow looks coolest to me
Is there a feature on the truck for charging from solar panels or from a generator?
I love these concepts and would be proud driving any of them. I went EV about a year ago for my primary vehicle and won’t go back.
Well we know how bad the big 3 on electrical systems on thier current cars.
Went down I 57 at 130 miles an hour in a 1970 purple charger scared the living hell out of me but real what really freaked me out was and Vontae pulled up next to us when we’re doing 130 and then just slowly pulled away from us oh the things we did in our youth
have yall seen the jeep avenger? uk variant of a small ev compass
Still waiting for a manufacture to do rear facing second row seats. Way more leg room and could add a fold up partition if there’s cargo
I would honestly love to see the after Ram Revolution after concept stage. The Banshee needs to become a production vehicle. Bring the same interior too to pay homage to the 66 and 67, 4 seater styling. I would buy 1.
Does it have a built-in vacuum cleaner to clean out the tracks?
By the looks of it, You could probably move the seats to the bed? It’s instantly transformed into a modern day “Brat”?!?! Or consider 2-6 extra seater even?
They're using Samsung batteries. GM is using LG and Ford is using SK Innovations. Basically, the former Big 3 are using S. Korean batteries.
The Charger-Daytona-EV is the most interesting. The truck is nice but will change a great deal from the prototype. The Daytona looks like it will be close to the prototype. I am going for a 2024 Corvette. I wish the Charger was out this fall!
Won't all the lights on the ram drain the battery quicker?
They are behind for obvious reasons maybe. They pick from 'others', remodel it and then launch it as the 'perfect' version of 'what is', that's the good thing about letting others do the work for you. I will rather give the thumbs up to the pioneers who slave their heads to actually think of what people may want. The pioneers IMHO are the real innovators.
EVs from the company that can't seem to get electrical right in their gas/diesel vehicles. Yeah, can't wait to see how these turn out.
Terramoto73..................I've owned 5 DODGE/RAM pickups with the Cummins power, beginning with a 1991, with a 2010 and NONE of them ever had "electrical problems"!
@1gr8oil funny. I'm a mopar fan that's owned over 40 different mopars from the early 60's all the way up to a 14 srt.
Never had an "electrical issue "
Must be "the internet says" experience here
@@Welcometofacsistube You guys are the lucky ones. Many auto repair channels deal with these things. I haven't owned Mopar since our 1999 Neon.
@@Terramoto73 the neon was notorious for electrical issues 😅
@@jerelle_ True, so are many other models. We actually lucked out on this 99 Neon. The 96 we had, before that, had all kinds of issues. Mainly, it got mileage in the teens everywhere. Tried the 99, and it was much better. Not sure why.
Remove the back bucket seats, and you have a room for a bed in there or cot
🤩🤩🥳🥳
Ram truck looks like a Ridgeline. and.. why are trucks moving away from bed size and storage?
All this concern for efficiency but they make everything light up and things electric like door handles rhat do t need to be...i just dont get it.
I know about the ram and the charger but I don’t know about the mirror you middle vehicle the SUV or car that’s a new one
Vehicle tvs are so unnecessary when everyone has a phone in their hands nowadays just waste of electronics to upcharge who knows how much
Can anyone tell me why all the EVs have to have the most annoying lighting on the outsides of the vehicle???
your camera is moving too much.
Good, now they make it super easy to power off your vehicle whenever you didn't pay your loan on time anywhere in the world and make you pay for each features you hope you will get. Good Job!
First
So at 100,000 or mor for each how are they going to sell them to the people that can’t afford them. That don’t make 200,000 $$$$ a year. That’s a big joke.
Tell Ram TOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH LIGHTING, LESS Ram highlighting
If they want to keep milking the Ram HD cash cow to pay for this EV folly they had better step up their game ASAP. How about the real 5th Gen cab, and the ZF Powerline HD transmission, for starters. Wake up!
Not for long time is what headline should say. Ford, GM building ev's on ice platforms. Ford, GM, Dodge all have to retool to ev platforms, $$$. Let alone how far they are on software. By the time they get to where tesla, chinese are now, they will still be behind. Hopeium.
I'm honestly not excited for any of these, and I want a new BEV. Here's hoping they'll bring the electric Promaster to the US soon. I want a cargo van one with the 118" WB and the low roof like the ICE version, just with a BEV drivetrain instead
They look production ready now👍👍💺
PHEV the only way to go ,nice looking EVs but not worth the money.
Hope there’s Hybrid instead of rubbish battery
Good grief. I understand its a short youtube video but the camera movement, its like on an iphone 2 on a roller coaster - horrible
Uuuuuuglyyyy
I own a very well cared for 2017 jeep Cherokee ltd and it runs worse than my 1997 buick century 3.1, it runs worse than my 1997 pontiac sunfire coupe and it runs worse than my 1994 pontiac sunbird. They're simply just shit cars.
When they get to 300km durability, with 450 mi range and 15 minute refueling for $30k, wake me.
Watch youtube video on (the new type of silencer ) that removes all harmful emissions only water vapor is released into the atmosphere regards Graham Flowers
If anything from the past 2.5 yrs has taught us anything, when our GOV is demanding the public do something we need to run as fast as we can in the opposite direction!
Hybrid was the future. As a nEVer, I will stick with my ice until they stop selling gas.
Death of ram. I won’t buy that ugly thing or a ev
I'd rather ride my lawn mower around town over literally any gas or electric truck coming from Ram.
How do you ride your lawn? 🥴
EV’s don’t work they are no good here in the northeast The power grid is not set up for them & the more you pull the more the battery drains
Ditched video at 5mins. This new fella moves the camera around too quickly. It ends up being chaotic and painful viewing.
The Ram Revolution looks impressive though a lot of it may not make production. The 1969 Charger EV is outstanding , hope they build it.
