The Dodge Charger Daytona will soon be unleashed onto America’s streets … and drag strips. Deliveries of the all-electric muscle […]

Dodge shocked fans with its Charger Daytona, but is an all-electric muscle car such a bad idea? We hit the track sideways to see if the SRT magic is still there

Enter the electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona with as much as 670 horsepower, an available Donut mode, and a subwoofer on the outside of the car. Obnoxiously loud, outrageously huge, objectively quick, and capable of vaporizing its own tires, the Charger Daytona aims to bring Dodge’s unique brand of muscle car energy to the EV world.

The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona carries a 100.5-kWh battery pack, which feeds two drive modules on base model Charger Daytona examples and sends 496 hp to the wheels. 2024 Scat Pack examples share the same battery, but power goes up to 670 hp.

Two 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona models will be in showrooms by year's end. Both are dual-motor, all-wheel-drive ( AWD ), two-door hatchbacks. Eight colors are available. In keeping with Dodge tradition, they’re named with a wink, and include hues like Bludicrous, Peel Out, and White Knuckle.

It feels tight, stable, and nimble, and can still perform party tricks: Dodge is adamant the new Charger isn’t built for a specific demographic, and it certainly seems that way

The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona debuts in R/T and Scat Pack trims, both with dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrains, a 100.5-kwh (93.9-kwh usable) battery, and power that exceeds their gas-motivated Charger and Challenger predecessors.

The Charger Daytona, the first electric muscle car from Dodge, arrives with a roar, unless you hit the mute button.
