Dodge Launches First Electric Muscle Car Lineup

The new Charger Daytona models blend classic muscle car heritage with modern electric performance, facing challenges in cost and consumer acceptance.

Dodge unveils its first all-electric muscle car lineup, including the Charger Daytona Scat Pack and Daytona R/T, marking a significant shift towards electrification.
The electric Charger Daytona models boast impressive performance, with the Scat Pack model delivering 670 horsepower and achieving 0-60 mph in just 3.3 seconds.
Despite their power, the new electric Chargers face challenges in terms of weight, cost, and consumer acceptance amid high interest rates and inflation.
Dodge plans to continue offering internal combustion engine options, including a new Charger with a twin-turbocharged inline 6 “Hurricane” engine, alongside its electric models.
The Charger Daytona's design pays homage to classic muscle cars while incorporating modern features like a patent-pending R-Wing for improved aerodynamics and a Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust for traditional muscle car sound.
