Ram has come out with its answer to EV truck range anxiety - and they're doing it by throwing a V6 under the hood in what they claim is still a full-blown ev truck equipped with an onboard range extender generator. Many YouTube Influencers such as Raiti's Rides, TFLEV, and Redline Reviews have pitched this as a straight EV, following the company's narrative and praising this as the best bridge to EV truck adoption. But iss that what this is, or is there more to this story than what Ram is letting on?

One of my informed and always helpful viewers suggested I provide a link to a video that seems to clarify the generator 'electric mode' issue, but it still could be interpreted multiple ways. I'll leave it here if you wish to dig deeper (time stamp 1:09:00)
