Move over, gas guzzlers! The 2024 Ram ProMaster EV is here to electrify the world of commercial deliveries. This zero-emissions van joins the increasingly crowded electric vehicle (EV) market, offering businesses a sustainable and efficient solution for transporting goods.
Built for Work, Powered by Electrons:
The ProMaster EV inherits the spacious cargo capacity and sturdy build of its gas-powered predecessor, but swaps the rumbling engine for a whisper-quiet electric motor. With a 110-kWh battery pack providing an estimated 162 miles of range (city driving), the ProMaster EV can handle a full day of deliveries in urban environments with ease. No more worries about fluctuating gas prices or tailpipe emissions!
Charging Up for Efficiency:
Level 2 AC charging conveniently replenishes the battery overnight, while DC fast charging delivers 100 miles of range in a mere 15 minutes. This flexibility makes the ProMaster EV adaptable to various delivery schedules and needs. Businesses with longer routes can plan charging stops strategically, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
Performance Packed with Perks:
The ProMaster EV isn’t just about saving the planet; it’s also a pleasure to drive. The electric motor produces 268 horsepower and 302 lb-ft of torque, offering smooth acceleration and effortless cruising. Plus, the regenerative braking system recovers energy during deceleration, further extending the range.
Two Flavors, Endless Possibilities:
The Pro Master EV comes in two configurations: the “Delivery” model, optimized for urban maneuvering with a roll-up rear panel and pocket door, and the “Cargo” model, offering hinged doors and a higher payload capacity for bulkier deliveries. Both models boast a spacious interior with up to 524 cubic feet of cargo space and an 86-inch interior height, making them versatile options for various business needs.
More Than Just Green Credentials:
Beyond the environmental benefits, the ProMaster EV also offers economic advantages. Lower operating costs due to reduced fuel and maintenance needs can translate to significant savings for businesses. Additionally, government incentives and tax breaks for electric vehicles can further sweeten the deal.
