Maybe it's keeping over 30% in reserves to both make it last longer, make it recharge faster, and have some for say towing a mountian pass. It sounds like you can also set it to start right away and keep the battery topped off for say a camp ground or construction site.

The eTransit is rated at 126 miles range with a 68 kWh battery (usable) so the Ram should do better with a 92 kWh battery even with worse aero and likely big oversized tires.
I doubt CARB will allow a PHEV to start the trip in gas mode and still get the $5,000 ZEV credit. I suspect you will need to go at least 50 miles on the battery and then switch to hybrid mode.
