Those same guys aren't going to like getting their doors blown clean off by some AWD 1000hp electric Tesla either, and Dodge had to do something about it.
They have done brilliant and amazing things with Hellcats and such. Unthinkable not too long ago. But EVs can be so insanely fast while still so derivable, they have to keep up with the market.
Yes and keep in mind, when Chrysler went bankrupt and layed off hundreds of engineers back in 2007 a bunch of them went to Tesla and made the model S. I fully expect the dodge boys to beat Tesla at their own game, they even have contracts with foxconn (iphone manufacturer) to do all the screens and in-car tech. What they come up with will surprise a lot of people....
Chrysler went bankrupt because Daimler gutted the F***ing company and when they couldn't steal anymore assets from Chrysler they dumped what was left on Cerberus.
They did everything they could to kill the company and steal everything they could from it.
Chrysler had $9,000,000,000 is cash reserves when Daimler "Merged"
with them, Daimler had taken all that cash and more as fast as they could.
In the early 2000's Chrysler/Daimler was working on Fuel Cell Technology, that's where the future innovation should be, but the people who want EV's are invested in that technology so EV's are pushed by the people pulling the country's strings.
