I only just noticed, the letters of the name "edge" could lend themselves to some fun with the branding of various versions based on the drivetrain: eDge for a diesel, edGe for gasoline, EDge and edGE for diesel-electric and gasoline-electric hybrids, and Edge or edgE for the electric-only version. Not that I know if they're doing that already, or what fuels they have versions for; just that they could, um, "signal this information in a very compact way", given that name. (Using different colouring of the letters, of course, not capitals like I did to illustrate above.)

This is a great opportunity for us, compared to our peers, having the multi-energy platforms for all of our products in development and having the agility to move between them,” she said. From what is stated about the next generation Charger it will be released as a 2 door EV and then as a 4 door with the Hurricane turbo straight 6. I assume both the 2 door and 4 door is on the same platform.
