Stellantis unveiled its new EV platform on Tuesday. The new STLA Frame Platform will initially underpin future Jeep and Ram EV models. According to Stellantis, it aims to provide “best-in-class capabilities,” including a range of up to 500 miles.
The STLA Frame is designed for full-size trucks and SUVs as Stellantis looks to capture a large portion of the growing segment.
It will support all-electric (EV), range-extended (REEV), hybrid (HEV), ICE, and hydrogen powered models.
Ram will introduce its first electric vanthe Ram 1500 REV, early next year. Built on a new frame, the electric truck will be offered in EV and REEV configurations.
Now, we're learning more about what to expect from the new platform that will power upcoming Jeep and Ram EV models.
Stellantis said the STLA Frame Platform is designed to provide “best-in-class capabilities,” including range, traction, and payload. The platform is designed to deliver a “class-leading” range of up to 500 miles (800 km), a maximum towing capacity of up to 14,000 lbs, and a payload rating of 2,700 lbs.
The extended center section houses liquid-cooled battery packs ranging from 159 kWh to over 200 kWh.

With a power of up to 350 kW, the platform can cover a distance of 100 kilometers in 10 minutes. The vehicles in the STLA framework will also be dual-charged to power your home or feed back into the grid.
Cars built on the platform will range in length from 216″ to 234″. In comparison, the 2025 Ram 1500 Crew Cab measures 232″.
The Ram and Jeep EV models will be the first to ride on the new STLA Frame platform. While we know the Ram 1500 will be based on it, it is expected to underpin upcoming Jeep variants like the Grand Wagoneer.
Jeep's first global electric SUV, the Wagoneer S, will arrive in US dealerships any time now. The company said it will begin deliveries this fall, starting at $71,995 with an expected range of more than 300 miles.
The Jeep Wagoneer S will be underpinned by the STLA Large platform, one of four global EV platforms. Following STLA Medium in July 2023 and STLA Large earlier this year, Framework is the latest Stellantis platform to be launched.
Another Jeep EV, the Recon, is expected to go on sale later this year. Jeep's Wrangler-inspired Recon was recently spotted with a Ford Bronco-like design ahead of its debut.
The rugged SUV maker is expected to release electric versions of the Gladiator pickup and Grand Cherokee models, which would be good candidates to be supported by the new Frame platform.
Ram's electric pickup truck will arrive early next year. With a 168 kWh battery, the Ram targets a range of up to 350 miles. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to launch.
