Interesting idea by Ram, pretty much a Chevy Volt in pick-up form:

Few notes:

• Why V6, not smaller 4-cyl or new I6 (too long)?
• Bad battery = dead truck?
• What's the weight going to be?
• What's the MPG on the generator and 0% battery?

2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger Avoids the Range Anxiety of EV Trucks

• The 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger is the brand's first plug-in-hybrid full-size pickup truck. It shares a platform with the electric Ram 1500 REV.
  
• A 70.8-kWh battery provides an estimated 145 miles of electric range and feeds a 663-hp all-wheel-drive powertrain, with a V-6 spinning a generator as a backup.
  
• With a full battery and fuel tank, Ram is targeting up to 690 miles of combined driving range; it can also tow 14,000 pounds and handle a 2625-pound payload.

  The Ramcharger also lives up to its namesake by being a mobile charging station, with bi-directional capabilities that allow its 7.2-kW max output to power a home or recharge a stranded EV. Accessible through the charge port or the power panel in the cargo bed, the Ram's onboard generator is like those found on the Ford F-150 hybrid and F-150 Lightning pickups.
