"What's it like to own a Dodge Charger Daytona EV? That's the question I set out to settle with my own money way back in September. But 72 days after buying one, I don't have an answer. In fact, I don't even have the car. On September 26, I initiated the lease on a Dodge Charger Daytona EV, with the understanding that I would receive the car within a week."
"Countless calls and texts later, I still don't have my Charger. What I have, instead, is my third loaner cara rental Jeep Compass.

"There are two main reasons: It's a cool car, and the price was irresistible. Let's address the first, because I have a personal connection to this car as well. In college, I was a team member of Clemson University's participation in the Battery Workforce Challenge, a research project sponsored by the Department of Energy and Stellantis. Each school's goal was to design and fabricate a high-voltage battery pack to implement inside a Ram Promaster EV."
Lessee initiated a lease on a Dodge Charger Daytona EV on September 26 with expectation of delivery within a week and signed before the 30th to secure a $7,500 leasing credit. Seventy-two days after initiating the lease, the vehicle had not been received despite numerous calls and texts. The lessee relied on successive loaner vehicles, including a rental Jeep Compass, which is functional but not comparable to the intended muscle car. Purchase motivations included the vehicle's appeal and an attractive price. The lessee had a personal connection through prior involvement in Clemson University's Battery Workforce Challenge and visits to the Chrysler Technology Center.
