When everyone thinks of dodge they thing of the charger and the challenger. Well 2024 was the last year they made gas vehicles of them both. In 2025 they will be coming out with the brand new all elctric versions of them. Dodge themselves said”This next generation is set to deliver more thrills that surpass legendary V8 performance. With 670 horsepower, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack is expected to target 0-60 mph in just 3.3 seconds and target a 1/4 mile in 11.5 seconds”.
The charger Daytona is going to feature 2 335 HP electric motors and it will be all wheel drive and estimated 627 lb-ft of instant torque. The rear motor houses a limited slip differential to minimize slipping. Also they are adding in Line Lock for burnouts and Launch Control for the perfect start off the line and not to be spinning out of control.The Charger Daytona 100.5 kWh high-voltage batterys is going to achieve optimal performance therefore dogde says the batteries need the best materials. That’s why the Charger Daytona lithium-ion based battery features a nickel cobalt aluminum chemistry. This high-voltage battery delivers a initial peak of 550 kW of power and sustains over 500 kW of power to the electric motors for a full 1/4 mile.Dodge is also stepping up the suspension by putting a multi link suspension in the front allowing better camber and protection since its going to be aluminum.Dodge is also putting regenerative brakes in mean when you use the brakes it will charbe the car slightly back up.
The car will have a charge of 240 miles fully charged and takes 2 hours to fully charge back up. Do you think this car starting at 60k msrp is worth it? Personally im not a big fan of the electric cars but the world is evolving so we will have to see if its worth it or not.
