The electric Ram pickup will have this 'class shattering' feature
Fox News
The upcoming electric Ram pickup will have a "class shattering" range extender feature that will likely use a small gasoline engine that works as a generator for long trips between charges.
Koval didn't provide details, but called the feature "class shattering," as the upcoming electric trucks from Ford and GM are not expected to offer a similar option.
Range extenders are typically small internal combustion engines that are used as generators to send power to the electric motors when the battery runs out, rather than a primary driver. Notable examples of this type of vehicle are the BMW i3 REx and Karma Revero.
The Ram is already expected to be offered in a version with up to 500 miles of range, but the extender could potentially come in handy in certain situations, like towing across remote areas. There's also the possibility that he was referring to a plug-in hybrid setup like the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, although it has a small battery rated at just 21 miles of range and a four-cylinder turbocharged engine that is connected to the drivetrain through a transmission.
