The 2024 Dodge Charger EV: The Ultimate Game-Changer in Electric Muscle Cars

Published on Jun 13, 2023 by Talia Mushinsky

Are you a die-hard muscle car enthusiast wondering how the electric revolution will shape the future of your beloved vehicles? Meet the 2024 Dodge Charger EV, which is poised to redefine the electric muscle car genre. This latest offering from Dodge might just sway even the most devoted gasoline vehicle devotees.

 

In an age when hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly gaining mainstream acceptance, Dodge has unleashed the successor to its iconic Charger: a sleek two-door muscle car that echoes its '60s predecessor's charisma and sports an avant-garde powertrain, bridging the past with the present.

 

Contrary to popular belief that Dodge would remain the final bastion of gas-powered dominance, CEO Tim Kuniskis shocked everyone when he stated that the upcoming era of muscle cars will be fueled by battery power.

 

 

The latest Charger, built on Stellantis's STLA Large platform, showcases an enhanced body design that preserves its iconic commanding presence. Under the hood of this monster, the base model Charger 340 is equipped with a robust 400-volt propulsion system, producing a notable 455 horsepower.

 

However, the excitement doesn't stop there. The midrange 440 — our very own electric Scat Pack — cranks out a whopping 590 horsepower. Both variants will have the ability to receive over-the-air horsepower increases through Dodge's Direct Connection, with a promise of a multi-speed transmission on the horizon.

 

Yet, the true star of the show is the top-of-the-line Banshee model. Sporting an 800-volt system, the Banshee is predicted to have at least two motors. While Dodge is keeping the horsepower under wraps, they assure us that the Banshee will outshine the gas-powered Hellcat in all performance categories, including sound. The Charger EV's "exhaust" amplifying chamber is designed to deliver an exhilarating 126-decibel roar.

 

The Charger EV holds its ground uniquely against its rivals. Despite the Mustang Mach-E providing commendable velocity and boasting a homegrown muscle car emblem, its SUV-centric design falls short of echoing the Charger's authentic muscle car lineage.

 

Of course, there may be a few bumps along the way. Traditional muscle car devotees might resist this electric pivot. However, Dodge believes in the electrification of the muscle car and is committed to pushing forward.

 

Provided things go according to plan, the 2024 Dodge Charger EV could be rolling out on the streets with a starting price roughly equivalent to the current 392 Hemi model. This suggests a probable initial price tag of no less than $50K.

 

So, brace yourself for a high-voltage journey with the 2024 Dodge Charger EV, a fascinating fusion of classic allure and advanced technology. Keep your eyes on Kunes Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Sycamore, IL, for more news on this revolutionary electric muscle car.
