JEEP Grand Wagoneer 4xe and RAM 1500 EREV Delayed Again: Production Pushed to 2027

Two Major U.S. Models Under Stellantis Hit Roadblocks on Extended-Range EV Path, Delivery Window Slips Further

The all-new JEEP Grand Wagoneer extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) and RAM 1500 REV extended-range electric pickup continue to see their launch timelines slow down. According to Automotive News, both models face a new round of delays — RAM 1500 REV is now expected to go on sale around April 2027, while JEEP Grand Wagoneer EREV's production start has been pushed to November 2027, roughly six months later than originally planned.

Stellantis had previously revised RAM 1500 REV's launch schedule multiple times and officially canceled its original battery-electric version in 2025. The automaker shifted focus to the extended-range electric powertrain instead; the vehicle was initially codenamed "Ramcharger" and is positioned as Ram's first extended-range electric pickup. Meanwhile, JEEP emphasized that the 2026 Grand Wagoneer EREV was intended to debut as the first flagship extended-range electric SUV in the U.S. market — but this 'first-to-market' milestone has now effectively been ceded to competing offerings.

Per official Stellantis disclosures, the Grand Wagoneer EREV packs a 92 kWh battery pack and a 3.6-liter V6 engine driving a 130 kW generator, delivering a combined range of 500 miles (~805 km). System output is rated at up to 647 hp and peak torque of 620 lb-ft (~840 N·m), with a 0–60 mph acceleration time of approximately 5 seconds. Note that the source does not clarify whether these figures apply to a single trim level only, nor does it specify motor count or drivetrain configuration — so no further interpretation is warranted.

Notably, several automakers are accelerating development of extended-range electric technology. Hyundai plans to begin production of the Santa Fe EREV at its Alabama plant in early 2027; Genesis, Ford, and Volkswagen's Scout brand have also announced extended-range electric vehicle development programs. Stellantis' repeated delays may further widen the gap between its U.S.-brand EREV rollout pace and those of key competitors.
