As you’ve likely heard by now, especially if you’re a Dodge brand enthusiast, the traditional versions of the Dodge Charger and Challenger were discontinued after the 2023 model year. But fans of these two classic muscle cars shouldn’t have to wait too long for the next-generation versions of the nameplates, they’re just undergoing some massive changes before release. How so? Well, because they’re being reinvented as all-electric vehicles. Back in August of 2022, Dodge gave us our first glimpse at what the future might hold with the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept, which you can see pictured here, but what do we know about the actual production version of the next-gen, all-electric Dodge Charger?

“The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept exists because performance made us do it. Dodge is about muscle, attitude and performance, and the brand carries that chip on its shoulder and into the BEV segment through a concept loaded with patents, innovations, and performance features that embody the electrified muscle of tomorrow. The Charger Daytona SRT Concept can do more than run the car show circuit; it can run a blazing quarter-mile. And when it comes to product cycles, it outruns Darwin. Charger Daytona does more than define where Dodge is headed, it will redefine American muscle in the process.”
– Tim Kuniskis, Chief Executive Officer, Dodge Brand – Stellantis
