New Dodge Charger EV gets 670hp, 100kWh battery and a 40hp boost button

As predicted (pleaded?) by Electrifying in 2024, Tte electric Dodge Charger has just gone on sale in Europe – the US muscle saloon gets 670hp in its beefiest form and a 100.5kWh battery. 

There are several catches though – want one in the UK? There are only three Dodge dealers in the country, the car is only going to be available in left-hand drive and its 400V architecture leaves it a little behind the curve when it comes to the competition. 

But muscle cars aren’t meant to be too technologically advanced, right? And the Charger can still replenish its battery at 350kW, for a 20–80% figure of 27 minutes. Good job it’s fast when you’re behind the wheel. 

In fact it’ll do 0–60mph in just 3.3secs and a quarter mile in 11.5secs in Scat Pack guise, though there’s a cheaper R/T version available if you’d like your performance a little less eye watering. 

The R/T does 0–60mph in a positively sedate 4.2secs, with the quarter mile drag dispatched in a positively glacial 12.4secs. 

That all said, the 800V Hyundai Ioniq 6 N will get you to 62mph from rest in 3.2secs and is a bit cheaper than the Charger (see below) and a whole lot more practical at the same time. Hmm. 

You get a decent specification on your European Charger though, with things like 20in alloy wheels, electrically adjustable heated front seats and heated steering wheel, LED lights front and rear, ambient lighting inside the cabin, head-up display and 360-degree parking cameras. 

Other interesting things include the 40hp boost button on the steering wheel, the specially developed fake engine noise that’s supposed to sound like a rorty petrol engine and the fact that the front e-motor can be disconnected to boost efficiency. 

And also a quick reminder that Dodge is owned by French automotive conglomerate Stellantis, which means that the Charger is built on the company’s STLA Large platform, which also underpins the likes of the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Maserati Levante. 

The current eighth-generation version of the Charger went on sale in the US in 2025, with Dodge announcing the start of European sales of the car in June this year. The electric version is badged as the Daytona and comes with R/T and Scat Pack trims.

We don’t know the exact prices for the new European-spec Dodge Charger Daytona, but the two-door R/T starts around £80k, with another £5k for the faster Scat Pack model and another uplift if you want the four-door version of the car.
