Stellantis is coming out of the gate strong with its future Charger EV that is pure, unadulterated, and unapologetically Dodge. On this week’s podcast, we sort through the latest details and decide whether or not Dodge is on the road to success. Then, Rivian’s R2 details leak ahead of schedule, Ford gets access to the Supercharger network, BYD’s Seagull flies (although not in the U.S.), Karma goes full electric, Fisker hits more speed bumps, and more!
