Dodge has detailed the pricing for its Charger Daytona EV, including configurations that reflect its muscle car roots.
The electric sports car will start at $59,995 (before a $1,995 destination fee) in a two-door R/T trim with a Direct Connection Stage 1 upgrade that provides 496HP, 404lb/ft of torque, and a sports suspension. Dodge claimed a 0-60MPH time of 4.7 seconds.
Launch year EV buyers can also buy a $73,190 Charger Daytona Scat Pack model that gets a Dodge factory-installed Stage 2 upgrade and Track Package. It can muster 670HP and 627lb/ft of torque, or enough to reach 60MPH in 3.3 seconds. The automaker also touts a 11.5-second quarter mile that makes it the “most powerful” muscle car, and extra drive modes that include Donut, Drift, and a drag race-friendly Line Lock.
Production starts for both two-door Charger Daytona variants this summer, with a release date sometime in the fourth quarter. Four-door versions will enter manufacturing in the first half of 2025. Both initial cars qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit when leased, an you’ll receive either a Level 2 charging station or $600 in Free2move Charge credits.
Gas-based Charger Sixpack models don’t reach the factory until the second half of 2025.
All Charger Daytona EV models come with significant tech, Dodge said. A “PowerShot” boost delivers an extra 40HP for 15 seconds. The interior centers on a 12.3-inch infotainment system with wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Amazon’s Alexa voice helper.
Driver assists are much the same as in other higher-end cars, including automatic emergency braking and lane management as well as drowsy driver detection, traffic sign info, and rear cross-traffic alerts.
The pricing and electric-first launch strategy reflect a clear intent from Dodge: it wants its initial EV to serve as a “halo” model that draws people to the brand, especially if they’re muscle car enthusiasts. While you can find faster for less (Tesla’s Model 3 Performance costs $54,990 before incentives), it won’t necessarily have the design or cachet.
The Charger Daytona comes as part of a larger EV push at Stellantis after years of lagging some competitors. Jeep is getting into the North American EV space with the Wagoneer S and eventual Renegade, while Alfa Romeo’s Junior and Maserati’s Folgore (“lightning”) variants occupy the luxury realm. EVs aren’t as widespread at Stellantis as they are at companies like GM, but they’re quickly becoming commonplace.
