The 2024 Dodge Charger is a completely new take on the classic nameplate. Although gasoline powered versions are on their way next year, to start we are driving the all-electric Daytona. Two models are available at launch, the R/T and the Scat Pack. Both feature dual motors and all-wheel drive standard and will initially come as a two-door coupe.


Check out our take in the video below.

With classically inspired 1968 Charger styling, the new car is what Dodge refers to as the world’s first all-electric muscle car. We flew to Phoenix to sample the new car to see if a muscle car can be electric, and what that Fratzonic exhaust is all about.
