    This video clearly illustrates the problem in taking a Charger EV on a long trip.

    Yes, that has always been the problem with EVs, Ford Lightning towing gets less than 100 miles of range. Then there's this stupid idea of 5 minute charging, and they push it like it's a reality, but you need enough power to run 100 homes, to charge one vehicle.

    When are you getting one Tom?

    Once again I can't paste anything on this site. But Youtube "We tried BYD's 5 minute megawatt charging in China - It's mind blowing."

    I had just watched that video. They did say the car was very comfortable for their long drive and received a lot of positive attention wherever they stopped. I think is is a really good looking car, but outside of a daily commuter, I would have no interest in driving it any distance. That would be too stressful.

    Dodge has decided to stop producing the unpopular 456 hp. Charger R/T (EV). To get rid of its inventory of unsold Charger R/Ts, $300/mo. leases will be offered.

    At this point, with nothing to sell period ! They need to step back and take a look around and maybe pause all production and think this one out!

    Like i said a couple of weeks ago when i drove one of these things , the dealer called it a turd, and a salesman said a Hemmnmi is coming....Whoopee ... Whoopee ! They need to pick a third world country with electricity and ship all of them over there and donate them to that country and write them all off and be done with them. IMO
