City-Fleets, Local-Deliveries
Long-Haul Routes, Towing
The Case For
- Huge cargo capacity and low step-in height make loading easy
- Instant electric torque (268 hp) makes it peppy even with heavy loads
- Modern cabin tech with a large touchscreen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, 4G Wi-Fi, and multiple USB ports
Considerations
- Roughly 150–170 miles of real-world driving per charge
- Requires planning for routes and charger access
- Higher upfront price than gas vans (starting around $58K)
Who It's For
The ProMaster EV is Ram’s first all-electric cargo van, designed for businesses that want to eliminate gas costs and tailpipe emissions without sacrificing capability. It’s essentially a ProMaster work van that swaps the V6 for an electric motor and large battery. That means you get the same roomy high-roof interior (you can stand up inside) and wide cargo area that fits standard pallets, with a low floor for easy loading. Small business owners, delivery services, and tradespeople will appreciate that it drives much smoother and quieter than the old gas model – no engine rattle or gear shifts – yet it can haul over 3,000 lbs of payload with ease. Running costs are also a big draw: electricity is cheaper per mile than diesel or gas, and there are fewer moving parts to maintain. Overall, the ProMaster EV stands out by providing a familiar, versatile cargo van experience, now with the efficiency and eco-benefits of an EV, making it especially compelling for urban and suburban fleet use.

From Every Angle
Exterior
4Boxy Functionality with a Modern Touch
The ProMaster EV keeps its familiar boxy shape to maximize cargo space and logo-friendly sides, with subtle EV cues like a blanked-out grille and blue-outlined RAM badge. Practical features include a high roof, wide 260° rear doors, a sliding side door, rear bumper steps, and LED headlights. Overall, it’s a clean, work-first design with just enough modern touches to look professional in a fleet.
Interior
4Driver-Focused Cabin, Massive Cargo Space
The ProMaster EV offers a clean, work-focused cabin with a high driving position, large touchscreen, physical controls, and smart storage. Its flat-floor, walk-through design leads to a huge cargo area with stand-up height, low load floor, and up to ~463 cu ft of space, making it easy to load and upfit.
Safety
5High-Tech Aids to Protect Your Fleet
The ProMaster EV comes standard with forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking, crosswind assist, and a backup camera. Upper trims add advanced features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection, and a 360° camera. With added stability from its low center of gravity, it’s designed to keep drivers, cargo, and surroundings well protected.
Range & Charging
3City-Friendly Range, Fast Charging for Quick Turnarounds
The ProMaster EV is optimized for urban duty, offering about 150–170 miles of real-world range (up to ~180 miles in city driving). That’s enough for most daily delivery or service routes. It supports overnight Level 2 charging (about 10–12 hours) and DC fast charging up to 150 kW, adding ~60–70 miles in around 30 minutes. Ideal for city fleets, it works best with planned routes and reliable charging access.
Tech & Infotainment
5A High-Tech Office on Wheels
The ProMaster EV delivers SUV-level tech for a work van, with Uconnect 5 infotainment, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, built-in navigation, and multiple charging ports. Features like a digital rearview mirror, fleet telematics, and over-the-air updates help keep drivers connected, efficient, and focused on the job.
Performance & Handling
4Smooth, Silent, and Surprisingly Zippy
The ProMaster EV feels quick, quiet, and easy to drive, with instant electric torque, smooth acceleration, stable handling from its low-mounted battery, and a tight turning circle for city work. Regenerative braking and a comfortable suspension reduce driver fatigue, making it far more refined than a typical large van.
Warranty
4Competitive Coverage with EV Components Guaranteed
The ProMaster EV includes a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage, and an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty. It also adds 5 years of roadside assistance and corrosion coverage. With fewer maintenance needs than a gas van, it offers strong long-term peace of mind for fleets.
