2025 RAM 1500 RAMCHARGER VS. 2024 SILVERADO EV RST!

EV Channels Review

This video pits the 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger Tungsten Edition against the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV RST in a heavyweight bout for the future of electric trucks. The reviewer highlights the Ramcharger's series hybrid approach, utilizing a 3.6L V6 Pentastar engine to generate electricity for its 92 kWh battery pack. While it offers a significant electric-only range of 145 miles and impressive towing (14,000 lbs) and payload (2,600 lbs) capacities, its charging speed is a drawback at 145 kW. The Silverado EV RST, a pure EV, boasts a massive 250 kWh battery, an estimated 450-mile range, and superior 350 kW charging speeds, capable of adding 100 miles in under 10 minutes. However, it falls short in towing (10,000 lbs) and payload (1,500 lbs). The reviewer concludes that for traditional truck operators needing consistent long-haul capability without range anxiety, the Ramcharger is the better short-term choice due to its hybrid flexibility, despite its slower charging. The Silverado EV is favored for those prioritizing pure EV operation for shorter commutes and faster charging, provided they don't frequently tow or haul heavy loads.
