- An electric version of Ram’s full-size commercial van is coming stateside later this year.
- Stellantis confirmed that the EV version of the Promaster will be unveiled in the first half of 2023, and deliveries will begin in the second half of the year.
- We expect the EV version to be competitive with the Ford E-Transit in terms of payload capacity.
Ram is joining Ford in the world of electric #Vanlife and delivering on its promise to introduce an electric ProMaster van by the end of 2023. We do know that the commercial van will be unveiled in the first half of 2023, and deliveries will begin in 2023. the second half of the year. Stellantis spokesperson confirmed CD That the ProMaster EV is coming to the North American market.
Other than a rough timeline and a teaser image, we don’t have any details about the ProMaster EV yet. We have images and specs for Fiat’s e-Ducato (pictured at top), which is essentially a rebadged ProMaster. So it’s only fair to glean some information from the e-Ducato already introduced in Europe to inform our speculations on the upcoming ProMaster EV.
The E-Ducato is offered with two battery options, a 47.0-kWh standard pack and a larger 79.0-kWh optional pack. On the less stringent WLTP cycle, Fiat claims a range of 146 miles for the standard battery and 229 miles for the larger pack. Accounting for the difference in US EPA range cycles, that could put the standard battery in contention with the 126 miles offered by Ford’s e-Transit van, while the larger pack could beat Ford by a significant margin. Fiat’s claimed payload capacity of up to 4189 pounds is less than the 4680-pound maximum payload offered by the current gasoline-powered ProMaster, but beats the e-Transit’s 3880-pound maximum.
