In general the existing carmakers have a problem with EVs: Dealers make a lot of money on service, and EVs don't need nearly as much service. So dealers don't want to sell EVs.
What's likely to happen is one of two things.
Either the battery prices continue to come down, in which case EVs will get cheap enough that customers will be demanding them for cost reasons.
Or the battery prices don't come down and then people start to realize that the most attractive thing in that environment is a plug-in hybrid, because they can run in full electric mode most of the time but you can put in half as much battery as a full EV and not have any trouble with range. And they can be faster than anything else because they have two power plants.
But that's only 95% of the market. The 5% that not only wants a snarling V8 but wants it bad enough to actually buy one? They want something that makes an obnoxious noise, and a fake obnoxious noise isn't going to suit. Which is why nobody is buying this Charger.
