I like it. If I had to buy an EV, that would be at the top of my list.
IF Dodge gets the battery and electrical right. Their first foray into electrics, and Dodge is not exactly known for quality (although my Charger and Durango have been trouble free- as they should be since they've been building them for more than a decade).
I wonder how much it weighs and how it handles. No doubt it will be fast in a straight line.

The front looks like a modern Camaro,the roofline looks like the copied a ten year old Cadillac and it looks like a four door car very poorly made into a two door vehicle! The design is horrible at best! I don't see current hellcat owners buying this steaming pile of electric crap! We are watching the demise of the Dodge brand!

Is it even electric? I am thinking they just put that body on a challenger chassis, its probably a V6! It does look like a poorly cobbled up Challenger.

The fake engine noise thing reminds me of vegan food that tries to imitate real meat. If the new product is so darn good, why are you trying to imitate the real thing???

Soon we won't be able to drive our ICE powered vehicles and go get a steak! Both are going to be outlawed! We can take our ugly EVs and drink a nice nutritious soilent Green shake for dinner!

I like it as well. It isn't perfect but it is a big improvement over most of the other offerings. They have some real good ideas put into it. I think they could have extended the tail another foot to really make it look like an old charger.

Few things I find interesting is. The wing built into the upper grill area that will ad in sticking a corner
The wheels have one center lugnut
A full length console like the 66 charers had
For the on3s that say they won't sell.....depending on price they will sell the crap out of them if. It's under 80k(I doubt it's under100k)
Change the wheel to a 5 spoke and have the "exhaust " sound where can turn it off then I will like it more. I think it's bad a$$

Dont get too happy. The roofline is for a 4 door, it may be an optional 2 dr. And a noise machine for exhaust what a FN joke.
Electric is for vibrators and they can go F themselves with it
The guy I watched covering the unveiling said 14,000 people have placed a pre order. Is this a COMMITMENT TO BUY or is it a refundable deposit? Fanboys, social media people and traditional media people are all hyping EVs- yet the public who is expected to buy EVs are silent. I hear coworkers past and present fawn over the thought of owning a Challenger- Mustang- Corvette. I hear NOBODY fawning over ANY of the current EV offerings. No one wants this.
Keep old mopars alive.

" As so much of the world works to pivot away from fossil fuels and the internal-combustion engine, a new study from the University of California, Davis, published in the journal Nature Energy last week, showed some concerning signs for what the auto industry still needs to get right. According to this study, which looked at California EV owners specifically between 2015-2019, 18% of electric vehicle owners switched back to a gas-powered car. For plug-in hybrid owners, 20% of them flipped back to a car solely powered by an engine." www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/ev-owners-switch-gas-power-study

He gives a good sales pitch but considering the electronics on my Dodge Charger, stereo navigation units known defects, electric fans known defects and oil pressure sending units always pooping out I am a little concerned that Dodge is making an all electric car when they can't even make components right. No talk on sticker price yet and I am sure you'll need to sell your house and first born if you ever need take it to the dealership. Maybe a pessimist but I am not sold yet. As far as the industry they want electric cars and it's not all about carbon foot prints.

No one wants this. 14,000 orders are for the Hornet, which are probably just from dealers (in 1 day) - dodge has nothing remotely affordable at the moment so thats normal. This thing will get orders too, but its just a concept that I am certain will change a lot before the production model is shown. It seems very confused at the moment

Actually he said there was 14k orders for the suv thing....NOT for the charger. How can you have pre orders f9r something that wasn't unveiled yet

I agree the concept reminds me of the concept 2 door released before the current 4 door charger. And something about piped music annoys me. But I supposed if it has an awesome amp and speakers and I can switch from "Exhaust Note" to "Rob Zombie" I will not complain.
Legislating change is always suspect and I'm sure there is a lot of money being provided to our leaders to make sure we convert from millions of small carbon emitters on the road to fewer very large carbon emitters. At least mining the rare earth metals for batteries keeps children in poor nations employed so we can feel good about that. A lot of that will be coming from northern Ontario Canada. They have a business minded leader that has Brampton and Windsor Chrysler plants locked in and they're saying entirely new towns will be sprouting up in the north to support the new mines. Tesla is even in talks to build a plant there. Chrysler is building 2 new battery plants, one in Ontario with LG and one in Michigan with Samsung I believe. Windsor will supposedly be building the new charger/challenger and Brampton is slated for new product as well.
