    CEO Tim Kuniskis said the capabilities of EVs will steadily turn heads and gain a following.

    When it comes to the EV transition, “everybody’s panicked about it,” Kuniskis told Automotive News. “It is what it is. This is the regulation. This is where the industry is going. This is what we have to do.”

    And then he says this: “Eventually people will see that this technology can make something cool and fun. It’s probably going to sound different, but people tuning cars, making cars faster and competing against each other will not go away. They say the first drag race occurred the second the second car was built. People are going to compete. People are going to compete to have a cooler, faster, funner car and it’s not going to change.”

    Wait a minute, everything I've read about EV's says their ECM's are LOCKED, you won't be able to tune them with aftermarket software. As a matter of fact, Dodge will be selling higher HP packages for a pretty penny.

    I will never waste my money on an EV of any kind. First of all they are not a clean green machine as they are trying to make them out to be! The disposal of the unclean batteries will be a big issue and reminds me of trying to safely dispose of nuclear waste.
