Earlier today, Dodge unveiled an all-electric edition of its Charger muscle car. The Charger is rarely in a position to ditch internal combustion entirely: there are also variants with twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engines under the hood, but none. It will have the same functionality as the 2024 Charger Daytona Scat Pack, which has an electric motor. 670 hp (500 kW) powertrain and a quarter-mile time of just 11. 5 seconds.
The two-door Charger Daytona Scat Pack will go into production later this year at Stellantis’ assembly plant in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, along with the Charger Daytona R/T, another all-electric model with 496 hp (370 kW) less powerful. ). powertrain. Four-door versions of the Daytona Scat Pack and R/T styles will go into production in early 2025, as will the two- and four-door versions of the Charger SIXPACK H. O. , which uses a 550-hp (410 kW) inline-six engine. gasoline engine.
Built on Stellantis’ new STLA Large platform, Daytonas EV chargers use a 400V powertrain and a 100. 5kWh battery with a maximum discharge rate of 550kW. The electric chargers are all-wheel drive with 335 horsepower (250 kW) of torque and three hundred lb-ft (406 Nm) of traction. However, Dodge claims there are six other levels of functionality, adding the aforementioned 496-hp R/T, which uses a “Direct-Attach Stage 1 Upgrade Kit” that adds 40 hp (30 kW), and the Scat Pack, which uses a “Direct-Attach Stage 2 Upgrade Kit” that adds an additional 80 hp (60 kW).
There are also many features of powerful cars. The Charger Daytona Scat Pack and R/T can be boosted up to 40bhp via a PowerShot button on the steering wheel, and if you opt for a track pack with the Scat Pack, you also get dual valves. Semi-active shock absorbers. In addition to the same old riding modes like eco, game, and rain/snow, there’s also a track mode and a drag mode, as well as donut modes in the Scat Pack.
Since Dodge knows that some of its Charger consumers will take the Charger Daytona Scat Pack to the race track, the vehicle has a line-lock feature and five stages of release control. There’s also a race readiness mode that charges the battery for maximum performance.
The powerful electric car also promises to sound louder than most other EVs, thanks to what Dodge calls “Fratzonic camera exhaust,” which combines cameras and speakers underneath the car, as well as actual tubes, to create the car’s soundtrack. Worry, introverts, there’s also a “stealth mode,” which is quieter.
Dodge claims that the Scat Pack deserves to have a range of 260 miles (418 km) and that the R/T deserves 317 miles (510 km) with a single speed. Tesla-style J3400 charging ports likely won’t appear until the middle of next year, meaning the vehicle will use CCS1 spark plugs first. A fast speed of 20 to 80 percent would be worth taking 27 minutes with a fast 350 kW tester, Dodge says.
One thing the automaker has yet to reveal is the value of the new Charger Daytona, which is expected to be delivered closer to the start of the car’s production.
