Interesting comparison, but you missed one very important aspect of the 392... Paddle Shifters !
I have a plug-in Prius, and an EV Nissan Leaf and while I can think of several words to describe them like Efficient, Maintenance free, Fuel free (see below), quiet etc... "Fun" is not one of them.
I had a Chevy SSR 6 Speed Manual that was a blast, put the top down and hear that big V8 roar thru the gears, it was exhilarating, but not very practical, a little rain and those big back tires were like skis on snow... I have ordered a 392 because it will be as much fun as the Chevy SSR but a whole lot more practical too. Its got FUN written all over it...
I can understand why someone would choose the 4xe especially if it is going to be your daily driver, but unless you live in Texas or have Roof Top Solar, be ready for a nasty little surprise when you get your electric bill and see that you are now in the top tier of electricity pricing. EVs are great if you have RTS or live in a State with very low cost power but otherwise not sure they are much better than gas, for sure they are going to be better than a Big Block V8 but maybe not the V6 operating cost wise...
Finally, I don't know why anyone would worry that the Jeep can't go over 90... who is driving Jeeps at 100+ MPHs... I very seldom every got my SSR into 5th let alone 6th gear... all the fun is between 1 and 3...
Cheers
