EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers significant news in the automotive world, with a major focus on the 2025 Ram 1500 refresh. The most notable change is the discontinuation of the V8 engine across all 1500 models, replaced by the 3.0L Hurricane inline-six, offering increased horsepower and torque. A new top trim, Tungsten, is introduced with premium features. The standout announcement is the Ramcharger, an electric truck with a range-extender V6 generator, promising an impressive 690 miles of total range and 14,000 lbs towing capacity. The review also touches on rumored specs for the 2025 Dodge Charger, the delayed next-gen Nissan GT-R, updates to the Honda Ridgeline, Mini John Cooper Works Countryman, Chevy Equinox, Ford Mustang California Special, and Porsche Panamera interior. Lucid's adoption of the NACS port and Audi's farewell to the TT are also discussed. The reviewer expresses a mixed sentiment towards the Ram 1500's V8 departure but highlights the innovative approach of the Ramcharger for those concerned about EV range.
