The starting price of the vehicle is $59,595 for the base R/T trim with the so-called Direct Connection Stage 1 upgrade, so it only qualifies for the full $7,500 tax credit in the US if you lease it.

The Direct Connection Stage 1 package includes a dual-motor setup with AWD, 496 hp and a big 100.5 kWh battery good for 317 miles range as per EPA.

The Scat Pack with the Direct Connection Stage 2 upgrade bumps up the power to 670 hp and torque to 850 Nm with the same 100.5 kWh battery, which drops the range to 260 miles. With the said configuration, the vehicle can do from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds. The said trim will set you back $73,190 and is also eligible for a full tax credit.

Since the Charger Daytona is fully electric, Dodge put something for the die-hard Dodge Charger ICE fans - Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust that emulates noises and the feel of a V8 engine.

Production will start at the Windsor Assembly Plant this summer, and deliveries will commence toward the end of 2024. The first half of 2025 will then bring four-door models.
