We all knew this was coming. Think it's a smart approach in this insane EV environment.

I hear you! Then I guess Ford needs to step it up with the Powerboost? Its only 430hp/570tq.This is crazy guys. They're calling this an EV with gas generator... it operates the same as Ford's Powerboost Hybrid. lol

I guess the difference is Powerboost is ICE centric where the Ramcharger is battery centric?(1.5kWh vs 92kWh)
Does the powerboost's engine drive the wheels, or generator only?This is crazy guys. They're calling this an EV with gas generator... it operates the same as Ford's Powerboost Hybrid. lol
Is it really the same? I think the engine in the ram does not directly power the wheels. It supplies power to the electric motor which powers the wheels. I don't know if this is what Ford does.This is crazy guys. They're calling this an EV with gas generator... it operates the same as Ford's Powerboost Hybrid. lol
That was my understanding. There is no automatic transmission, and the ICE is not mechanically connected to the drive-train in any way.Is it really the same?

Thanks for the clarification. I'm no engineer but this seems like a simple solution.That was my understanding. There is no automatic transmission, and the ICE is not mechanically connected to the drive-train in any way.
So... Nothing like Ford's power boost. LolGuys, its like a diesel electric locomotive. The V6 is not connected to anything other than the electrical system.
ETA: they're able to have the V6 run at peak efficiency RPM to generate electricity. The electric motors turn the wheels. This should be vastly more efficient than having the V6 directly run a drivetrain.
