Update on RAM 1500 REV Battery

[FastandFurious]

I just noticed who was manufacturing the battery for RAM 1500 REV - LG Chem!

The same LG Chem who is the manufacturer of the Chevy Bolt EV that had some crazy crisis because of their batteries. I don't know, but aint it strange that Stellantis would choose LG Chem when Hyundai replaced all it's LG Chem batteries in their EV's sold in Korea with SK Batteries just recently!

I heard that Samsung SDI supplies Stellantis with batteries so why the hell didn't they use Samsung for the RAM 1500 REV?

I am quite unsure about their batteries, and I hope it works fine. I will give it 3 months to observe if any issues comes up? What do y'all think?

interesting choice by Stellantis. LG Chem has had its share of ups and downs, especially with the Bolt EV issues, so it’s understandable to be a bit cautious. It’s surprising they didn’t go with Samsung SDI, especially since they already have that relationship. It makes you wonder about their decision-making process. Giving it a few months to see how the RAM 1500 REV performs is smart. Hopefully, they’ve worked out any kinks, and we’ll hear some positive feedback soon! I’m curious too

hmmm really interesting point you brought up about the LG Chem batteries. I’ve been doing a lot of research lately on different EVs, including the RAM 1500 REV. I guess battery technology seems to be one of the big factors that i need to pay attention on that. The Chevy Bolt situation definitely raised some red flags for a lot of folks, and I can see why it might make people cautious when LG Chem is involved.

From what I’ve gathered though, battery tech has been evolving fast, and manufacturers are working hard to iron out those early issues. Stellantis choosing LG Chem could mean they’ve found a way to make it work safely for the RAM 1500 REV, but I get where you're coming from with the concern. It’s definitely something I’d want to keep an eye on too, especially given Hyundai’s decision to switch to SK Batteries in Korea.

I guess it could come down to supply chains or cost, but I agree, using Samsung SDI, since they’re already partnered, could’ve made things feel a bit more secure

Yeah, it's definitely something to keep an eye on...

Yeah, exactly! Battery tech is moving fast, but with LG Chem's history, it's hard not to be a little cautious. I’ll be keeping an eye on how the RAM 1500 REV performs, fingers crossed they’ve worked out the kinks.
