2023 vs. 2024 Charger Specifications
Dodge has just revealed its new electrified Charger Daytona, declaring it “the World’s First and Only Electric Muscle Car.” For all the old-school Dodge Charger enthusiasts, the 2024 model will be available as a two-door coupe or four-door sedan. And for enthusiasts with gasoline in their veins, Dodge also will offer “multi-energy” powertrains for the 2024 Charger. There will be two internal-combustion engine options, including the 550-horsepower Dodge Charger SIXPACK H.O. powered by the 3.0-liter Twin Turbo Hurricane High Output engine and the 420-hp Dodge Charger SIXPACK S.O. fueled by the 3.0-liter Twin Turbo Hurricane Standard Output engine. The new Dodge Charger features standard all-wheel drive for all models.
Electrified versions of the 2024 Dodge Charger will feature the 496-hp 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T and the 670-hp Daytona Scat Pack, which can launch from 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and run the quarter-mile in an estimated 11.5 seconds.
Two-door coupe versions of the all-electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack and 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T will begin production in mid-2024.
Production of all-electric four-door Daytona Scat Pack and R/T models will begin in the first quarter of 2025.
Gas-powered two-door Dodge Charger SIXPACK H.O. and four-door Dodge Charger SIXPACK S.O. models are also scheduled to begin production in the first quarter of 2025.
The new Dodge Charger will be built at the Windsor (Ontario) Assembly Plant.

‘Multi-Energy’ Powertrains
The next-generation Dodge Charger models are the first vehicles to debut on the STLA Large platform. Dodge calls this platform a highly flexible, battery-electric native platform with the potential to carry extreme power. A variety of suspension modules and powertrain cradles can be used for vehicle-specific performance objectives.
All-electric Charger Daytona models are powered by a 400-volt propulsion system, which Dodge says delivers supercharged V-8 performance with zero tailpipe emissions and instant torque response.
The propulsion system comprises a high-voltage battery pack, a dual integrated charge module, and front and rear electric drive modules. The battery pack is liquid-heated and cooled with a chiller. The lithium-ion-based battery features a high-energy density nickel cobalt aluminum chemistry.
The front drive module has a front-wheel-end disconnect to improve driving range, while the rear EDM includes a mechanical limited-slip differential to increase traction and performance. Both drive modules have a 3-in-1 architecture (inverter, gearbox, and motor); each generates 335 hp (250 kW) and 300 foot-pounds of torque.
Using paddle shifters, the force of regenerative braking — which converts the vehicle’s kinetic energy during deceleration into electricity — can be adjusted by 0.1g, 0.2g, or 0.3g regen.
All-electric, all-wheel-drive 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona models are driven by a 400-volt propulsion system. Below, a ghosted illustration of the Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack highlights the wheels, half-shafts, electric drive modules, and the high-voltage battery.
Electric Driving Range
The Dodge Charger Daytona R/T is expected to have a battery-driving range of 317 miles, while the higher-performance Charger Daytona Scat Pack provides 260 miles of all-electric range.
Optional Level 2 wall-charging units or public charging credits will be offered through Free2move Charge. In 2023, Stellantis launched the so-called 360-degree ecosystem.
Using a Level 3 DC CCS fast charger, both electric Chargers can be recharged from 20 percent to 80 percent in just over 27 minutes. A 350-kW fast charger will add 9.9 miles of range per minute for the Daytona R/T and 8.1 miles per minute for the Daytona Scat Pack.
When comparing the total cruising ranges of the gas-powered and electric Charger models, the gas model wins. Factoring in combined fuel mileage estimates and the 18.5-gallon fuel tank, the 2023 Dodge Charger has a possible maximum range of 425 miles and a low of 333 miles.
The heated steering wheel of the 2024 Dodge Charger has a flat top/flat bottom design and includes paddle shifters to manage regenerative braking and a PowerShot button.
Charging Times
Level 2 AC11 kW 5-80 percent: about 7 hours, from 5 percent to 80 percent;
DC Fast Charge 175 kW: about 1 hour, from 5 percent to 80 percent;
DC Fast Charge 350 kW: about 30 minutes, from 5 percent to 80 percent;
- 11 kW onboard charger, Level 2.
The center console has a modern “pistol-grip” shifter, a start button, and a wireless phone charger.
Performance Features
Keeping true to the Dodge Brotherhood of Muscle, Charger Daytona models offer several levels of driver-selected performance. In addition to the Drag, Track, Drift, and Donut modes, there is the PowerShot mode, which adds 40 hp. With a throttle punch, the PowerShot gives a 15-second overboost.
Donut Mode: Enables the vehicle to spin only the rear wheels and to rotate around either of the front wheels without intervention from the traction control system;
Drift Mode: The driver can select three levels of slip angle, and torque is rear-axle biased, using the front axle to help maintain slip angle. Front dampers become full soft, and rear dampers go full stiff to enable an oversteer condition, and the traction control system allows for different wheel speed differentials without setting fault codes;
Line Lock: To prepare for a launch event, the driver can lock the front wheels, removing torque from the front axle to spin the rear tires to clean and warm them.
The augmented head-up display projects a large field of view and improved virtual image distance.
0-60 Acceleration
0-60 mph: 4.7 seconds R/T; 3.3 seconds Scat Pack
1/4 mile: 13.1 seconds R/T: 11.5 seconds Scat Pack
Top speed: 137 mph R/T; 134 mph Scat Pack
The rear of all Charger models has the red “ring of fire” LED taillamps.
Daytona Suspension Hardware
Wheels and tires: The Track Package option for the Daytona Scat Pack adds the biggest tire package used to date by Dodge: 20-inch wheels and staggered Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 305/35ZR20XL (12 inches wide) front/325/35ZR20 rear tires (12.8 inches). The tire package is the first street or road-course-oriented staggered set-up for a Dodge Charger. Front and rear tires can be tuned independently, with the front tuned to achieve maximum lateral acceleration and the rear tuned for stability.
High-performance brakes: Available with the Track Package option on the Charger Daytona Scat Pack, 16-inch Brembo vented rotors with red six-piston front rotors and four-piston rear fixed calipers increase the swept area more than 30 percent from the outgoing SRT.
Suspension: Front multi-link with forged aluminum links. Independent rear suspension with a Charger-unique rear four-link geometry.
Dual-valve semi-active damping: Optional on the Charger Daytona Scat Pack with Track Package, the adaptive damping suspension uses dual valves, one for compression and one for rebound. Dodge says the suspension has three times the number of body accelerometers, four times the wheel-hub accelerometers, and four times the ride height sensors from the outgoing Charger. Using dual valves allows for more force in handling scenarios, a smoother ride over rough roads, and more personalization choices in each driving mode.
New Charger wheel designs feature center caps with the Fratzog logo.
2024 Charger Styling
Both two- and four-door body styles share a widebody stance and a common wheelbase. An optional full-length glass roof (a gloss black painted roof comes standard) provides an expansive glass canopy.
A patent-pending front R-Wing hood feature, exclusive to Charger Daytona models, is a callout to the original Charger Daytona. The R-Wing allows airflow to enhance downforce.
The new Charger brings back the three-pointed, triangular badge that Dodge used on its muscle cars from 1962 through 1976. The return of the Fratzog logo represents the electrified future of Dodge.
No automaker has such descriptive paint color names as Dodge (and Plymouth). The new Charger continues the creativity with eight paint choices: After Dark, Bludicrous (as in Be-Ludicrous), Destroyer Grey, Diamond Black, Peel Out, Redeye, Triple Nickel, and White Knuckle.

Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust
Gas-powered Dodge muscle cars have long had their unique exhaust sound. So, too, will the electric Chargers, using a patent-pending Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system. Its two passive radiators create an exhaust tone that Dodge says has Hellcat (V-8) sound intensity, worthy of the Brotherhood of Muscle. The Fratzonic system also has a stealth sound mode.
The patent-pending Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system for the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona models creates a unique exhaust profile, which Dodge claims has Hellcat sound intensity levels.
Interior Features
A driver-focused cockpit begins with a layered instrument panel with free-standing, wide-format 10.25-inch or 16-inch driver-info screens. A 12.3-inch center display in the center stack is angled toward the driver.
The heated flat top and flat bottom steering wheel includes paddle shifters for regenerative braking and the PowerShot button. A new “pistol-grip” shifter and the start button on the center console also incorporate a wireless phone charger.
Interior badging corresponds to the model: Daytona for the all-electric vehicles and Charger for gas-powered SIXPACK models.
Daytona Scat Pack and R/T models have a standard nine-speaker, 506-watt Alpine stereo with a subwoofer. An 18-speaker, 914-watt system is optional.
Cloth and leatherette seats are standard, with premium options for heated Black Nappa leather and Demonic Red Nappa leather seats. High-backed fixed headrest seats have a unique pass-through and are optional with the Plus Package, Track Package, and Carbon & Suede Package.
Charger’s “hidden hatch” roof design is about cargo capacity, including fold-flat back seats. The max rear cargo area is 38.5 cubic feet, which is 133 percent more cargo volume than the outgoing Charger. A “frunk” space adds 1.5 ft cubic feet of storage.
The optional full-length glass roof and large rear hatch create an expansive glass canopy.
