EV Channels Review

The RamCharger is presented as an innovative solution to EV range anxiety, but this review argues it's a complex, potentially impractical, and expensive series hybrid rather than a true EV. The reviewer highlights that the V6 gasoline generator runs constantly, even when the battery is being charged, negating the appeal of electric-only driving for daily commutes. While acknowledging its potential for long range (around 690 miles combined), the reviewer criticizes its significant weight, the inherent complexity of combining EV and internal combustion engine systems, and the loss of cost benefits associated with traditional EVs. The video suggests that buyers seeking pure electric range should opt for dedicated EVs like the Silverado EV or Cybertruck, while those needing maximum range and flexibility might be better served by sticking with gas or diesel trucks for now, deeming the RamCharger a "category 5 marketing masterpiece" but a "practical catastrophe" for consumers.
