If you live in Michigan, you’ve undoubtedly had a car whiz by you on the highway at somewhere around 100 miles per hour, and you’ve perhaps reflected some four-letter words about the matter.
There’s also a good chance that the vehicle was a Dodge Charger.

And FAST.

All of this as the auto industry shifts gears for an EV fleet.
