500 mile range with only the driver. Put weight in the bed or tow a boat, range drops to 150 miles.
This also reminds me of the early Tesla options. Standard battery was something like 250 mile range. For an additional $9000 you could get an extended range battery that would get you 400 miles.

Writeup on kwh usage for f150 for reference
https://www.evpulse.com/features/lightning-tow-and-charge

F150 Lightning
131kwh battery
Empty - 300 miles = 2.4kwh/mile
Towing - 180 miles = 1.4kwh/mile

Using those numbers above I'd estimate this
Ram
168kwh battery
Empty - 400 miles
Towing - 235 miles
229kwh battery
Empty - 549 miles
Towing - 320 miles


Now you want my estimates for cost?

I predict the small battery Ram to start at $100,000k and the long range to be 130,000+(estimate is $171,000 but that's bonkers). This is just really rough numbers estimating vehicle cost based on size of battery

Agree with both posts, as my question mark on title. I think general across the board long EV range is a ways off. Also reasonable purchase price. A novelty for most people.
