DODGE ‘S UPCOMING FULL-SIZE EV: THE “CHARGEE”

The Dodge Chargee.  That’s the name of the upcoming electric version of the Dodge Charger, Fiat Chrysler spokesperson Doyle Zinkey informed automotive reporters at a press conference and paella party yesterday.  

“The charger is the thing the car plugs into, and we didn’t want to confuse people by calling both the charger and the Charger a charger,” Zinkey tried to explain to indifferent fish-munching reporters.

A base model Chargee will debut next fall and will feature a range of approximately 120 miles, according to Fiat Chrysler.  

Six months later, a Chargee HellWatt model will debut, providing a higher level of performance and synthesized exhaust sound from 19 weatherproof Harmon Kardon exterior speakers.
