Dodge fans may feel bitter about the discontinuation of the Challenger and Charger. But would their disappointment hold them back from purchasing the new 2024 Dodge Charger EV? While it may be hard for some to imagine that an EV could satisfy their thirst for power and adventure, Dodge is taking the leap and crafting what they consider a crucial next step – the Electric Muscle Car. How does it compare to it’s predecessors?
The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona SRT is an 800-volt system (think Porsche Taycan or Audi e-Tron GT for comparison). Dodge promises it out-performs their V-8 cars in all key areas and is even faster than a Hellcat! And what about sound? This is a deal-breaker for many, as Dodge and Ford are well aware. The Charger EV, like the Electric Mustang, generates a loud exhaust sound that mimics the beloved muscle cars. Both also chose to include a multi-speed transmission, giving the driver that classic feel and more direct control over acceleration. There will also be a temporary horsepower boost button, ensuring a fun ride!
The Charger EV launches with 3 performance levels, which Dodge plans to increase to 9, in time. Check out the video below to learn all there is to know about this piece of muscle car future!
