Not many car enthusiasts are excited that an all-electric version of the Dodge Charger is coming soon, but several new details have emerged about the final production model that are sure to impress everyone. Will it be enough to win over traditional muscle car owners?
First, Dodge’s all-electric car will be called the Charger Daytona, similar to the Charger Daytona SRT Banshee concept unveiled 12 months ago. It’s also understood that the production model will be very similar to the concept, which is another plus point considering how cool the old concept is.

Mopar-Insider Insiders also report that, similar to the concept, the production model will feature the same “R-wing” integrated with the front fascia and hood design. The panoramic glass roof is expected to make its way from concept to production.
Fortunately, the introduction of the all-electric supercharger won’t immediately mean the end of the brand’s combustion-powered muscle cars. According to recent reports, the next-generation Charger and Challenger will be offered with the 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged Stellantis Hurricane engine that is featured under the skin of the 2023 Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. In the standard version, this engine delivers 420 hp and 634 Nm of torque and in the high-performance version 510 hp and 678 Nm. An output of 500 hp should be more than enough to satisfy muscle car enthusiasts, although the lack of a V8 could be a sore point.
Dodge plans to offer the electric Charger Daytona in several guises. The entry-level model is said to have 455 hp, while the top-of-the-line model is said to have a good 590 hp. However, the base model is offered with 495 hp and 535 hp direct connection, while the 590 hp version can be upgraded from 630 to 670 hp.
