I’m not paid or sponsored by Ram. I’m just genuinely excited to see vehicles—especially trucks—finally start to move forward in a meaningful way. As an engineer, RVer, and long-time electric vehicle driver, I see the upcoming Ramcharger series hybrid truck as something that could seriously change the game… if they get it right. This video is a follow up to an article we wrote about the truck a while back : mortonsonthemove.com/ramcharger
In this video, I dive into why this isn’t just another hybrid or electric truck. The Ramcharger features a true electric drivetrain with a gas engine that acts only as a generator—a setup known as a series hybrid, similar to our Chevy Volt. I’ll explain what that means, how it solves some of the biggest problems with electric trucks (especially towing), and why most people are completely misunderstanding what this truck actually is.
We'll talk specs, real-world electric driving experience, regenerative braking, autonomy potential, and even some thoughts on where the future of power generation in vehicles might go (hint: turbine engines 👀).
If you tow, RV, or just love digging into future tech with a practical mindset, this one’s for you.
