Bye-Bye HEMI,

Bye-Bye DIESEL.........................

Thank regulator nazis and xiden for this insanity.

With a gas-powered generator in case the battery runs out.

So much for EV engineering

[ProtectOurFreedom]

In a word, it’s a HYBRID.

“did not announce pricing of the Ramcharger,”

86 payments of $1500? WAG

My mid-sized diesel sedan can get close to 50mpg on the Interstate. Just a week or two ago it got 46mpg on a 400 mile round trip between Boston and Bergen County,NJ. And that's despite a horrendous 2 hour long tie up on I-84 on the way home.

I'll drive diesels as long as I can find one worth owning. Future generations can become accustomed to electric scooters and pogo sticks.

How much does the truck weigh when full of gasoline and how long before the gasoline goes old if one is only needing the electric portion of power?

[Tell It Right]

Sounds like the design of a diesel locomotive but with a gasoline fueled generator instead of a diesel one.

If you ignore the "zero emissions" crap and look at practical applications, I can see some use cases for a truck like this. It also seems simpler than a normal hybrid (maybe I'm wrong, but to me it seems to add to potential mechanical problems to have both an electric motor and a gas engine with a transmission). This is an all electric motor but with two power sources: battery and gas generator.

But why the generator has to be a 6-cyl gas engine I don't know. Do you really need all of that to run about a 40kW generator? (my math on depending on the gas generator when the battery is empty to run it 80mph) I was under the impression that the standby diesel 40kW generators were 4-cyl. And you don't need that much if you start the gas generator long before the battery is dead. Maybe I'm overlooking something.

It’s a way of saying that, EVs are a farce. When the battery runs out, which is always, then the ICE machinery takes over for hundreds of miles, and no need to recharge since, the ICE parts can be ‘recharged’ easily and quickly with no need for the Ev side to be engaged. IOW, it’s an ICE vehicle which attempts to please the EV/environmental wackos.

Who is going to use the EV side once hey discover that the ICE side is all they need. Which means that, anybody buying the thing is deluding themselves and paying a whole lot more for a vehicle which is essentially an ICE vehicle.

Things will change big time after a few Elites get incinerated in an electric vehicle fire

[grobdriver]

So... a hybrid. What a new concept!

[libertylover]

It takes a 3.6L V6 to charge the battery?

[Boomer]

So this the transgender version of a pickup truck.

Like when a guy believes he’s a female but can’t bring himself to cut off his pecker and get the hot pocket surgery. Even with implanted boobs he’s still a dude dressing up as a woman with a well documented mental illness.

Isn’t that a “hybrid”?

[devane617]

Cost per mile to operate vs ice only?

[usurper]

The truck can operate as a zero-emissions EV.

No it can't, it's an EV powered by fossil fuels most likely chole.

[citizen]

What’s the weight of this beast??

It’s got to be quite heavy w/ the EV battery, the EV electric motor and the conventional ICE engine/battery charger and powertrain.
