Dodge's first electric cars go hard out of the gate with up to 670 horsepower and a thunderous simulated exhaust. But the Charger sedan is the big surprise.
After months of concepts and teases, the Mopar world finally knows what the first electric muscle cars from Dodge will be. Meet the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona, which comes as a coupe and, much to our surprise, a sedan too. It’s a striking move for a brand whose product strategy in recent years has largely amounted to: “What if we put a bigger V8 in it?” And yet, times are changing. U.S. consumers are asking for more electric options.
Clearly, these cars weren’t designed for optimum efficiency; a Tesla Model 3 earns an EPA-estimated 341 miles of range with a battery pack that’s roughly 20% smaller. That’s something Dodge owns openly. Its buyers have largely never worried about energy consumption, so why would they start to care now? “When was the last time anyone calculated the fuel economy of their muscle car? Yeah, they never did,” Dodge brand CEO Tim Kuniskis said in a promotional video launched on Tuesday.
