They have data presented to them that the EV has a strong case to not work and they already have an EV crossover.

The thing about the Charger EV is it didn't fail because it's an EV, it failed because it isn't a good EV and it isn't a good muscle car either. It failed to learn lessons GM and Ford learned and implemented in their EVs.
It is not efficient as an EV. The software in the infotainment system is slow and buggy. It's heavy, even for an EV which are heavy by nature due to battery size. And, more importantly, they completely missed the pricing angle. It launched priced higher than a Cadillac Lyriq. Really? That would be like launching the gas version priced higher than a CT5. Oh...wait...they did that too.
