7,000-Mile Dodge Charger EV Lost $50,000 in Value After Just One Year.

It was basically an attempt to make an EV for a market that hated EVs. I understand why they did it: They believed that CAFE standards were about to rise very quickly to "We're not saying it's an EV mandate, but..." levels. And with the Charger getting hit especially hard by rising economy standards, they had to do something.

Their real problem was failing to hedge their bets and make sure they had something else profitable if (or as anyone here could have told them, when) the EV Charger bombed.
