Overview

  • Dodge has confirmed the discontinuation of the Charger Daytona R/T electric model after one year, citing poor sales and tariff considerations.
  • The Daytona Scat Pack EV, offering 670 horsepower and high performance, will remain the sole electric Charger model for 2026.
  • A newly introduced four-door Charger Daytona EV, described as the 'world’s only' four-door muscle car, will join the lineup next year.
  • Over 3,500 units of the Charger Daytona R/T remained unsold as of early 2025, reflecting weak consumer interest despite significant discounts.
