Innovative EV Technologies, Inc., formerly known as VaporBrands International, Inc. and doing business as E-Cite Motors Group, has officially unveiled the specifications for its revolutionary new vehicle, the RJ9 Truck, setting a new benchmark in the pickup truck segment.
The RJ9 redefines expectations with a record-breaking 900-mile total range—the longest of any production pickup, whether electric or gas-powered. This extended range is achieved through a hybrid configuration combining pure electric power and an onboard generator:
Key Performance Highlights:
- Total Range: 900 miles (Electric + Generator)
- Pure EV Range: 140 miles
- DC Fast Charging: 20% to 80% in just 26 minutes
- Max DC Charge Rate: 125 kW
- Acceleration: 0–62 mph in under 5 seconds
- Powertrain: Dual-Motor AWD with Regenerative Braking
Built on E-Cite’s proprietary architecture, the RJ9 is powered by an advanced Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) system, pairing a 40.06 kWh battery with a 1.5L onboard generator. This setup provides both the instant torque and responsiveness of EVs and the long-distance j traditionally reserved for internal combustion trucks. “The RJ Truck is not just more capable than any EV or ICE pickup, it’s more refined,” said Gene Langmesser, COO of E-Cite Motors. “We’ve engineered a truck that hauls like a beast, drives like a sports car, charges in minutes, and pampers you like a luxury suite. No one else comes close.”
