Dodge has launched a new era in the world of supercars with the global unveiling of the world’s first and only electric hypercar, and the brand’s first high-performance vehicle to offer multiple powertrain options: the all-new Dodge Charger.
The next generation of the legendary Dodge Charger will transition into an electric vehicle while retaining its title as the fastest and most powerful hypercar in the world. At the top of the new lineup is the all-electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Super Stock, delivering 670 horsepower and expected to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds, with a quarter-mile time of approximately 11.5 seconds. The electric range also includes the 496-horsepower Dodge Charger Daytona R/T.
The all-new Dodge Charger is equipped with standard four-wheel drive across all models and offers multiple powertrain options. These include the 550-horsepower Dodge Charger SIXPACK H.O featuring a 3.0-liter Twin Turbo Hurricane High Output engine, and the 420-horsepower Dodge Charger SIXPACK S.O powered by a 3.0-liter Twin Turbo Hurricane Standard Output engine.
Production of the 2024 two-door coupe variants, including the all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Super Stock and Dodge Charger Daytona R/T, will begin in mid-2024. The four-door all-electric versions of the Daytona SRT Super Stock and R/T are set to start production in the first quarter of 2025. Meanwhile, the two-door Dodge Charger SIXPACK H.O and four-door Dodge Charger SIXPACK S.O with gasoline engines are also scheduled to enter production in early 2025. The all-new Dodge Charger will be manufactured at the Windsor plant in Ontario.
The fully electric Dodge Charger Daytona models with four-wheel drive operate on a 400-volt power system that delivers performance comparable to high-output V8 internal combustion engines—without any emissions—and with instant torque delivery. The system features a high-voltage battery, a dual-integrated charging unit, electric motors at both the front and rear axles. The front motor handles front-wheel disengagement, enhancing energy efficiency and driving range between charges, while the rear drivetrain includes a mechanical limited-slip differential to improve traction and performance. Both front and rear motors use a 3-in-1 design (inverter, gearbox, and motor), each producing 335 horsepower (250 kW) and 300 lb-ft of torque.
The battery provides a stable capacity of 100.5 kWh and a discharge rate up to 550 kW, specifically engineered for maximum acceleration by enabling the motor to draw the highest possible power output over a quarter-mile distance. The battery cell structure uses a rectangular design, offering enhanced structural stability and improved thermal performance thanks to a rigid casing, which helps reduce battery temperatures during high-performance driving. The battery cells utilize an aluminum-nickel-cobalt chemistry, delivering higher energy per gram, making them comparable to high-octane fuel in terms of electrical energy density.
