2024 Dodge Charger Daytona: The Electric Muscle Car, Launch Slips to December

This record's own overview states that on March 5, 2024 Dodge announced a multi-energy Charger, starting with battery-electric Daytona R/T and Daytona Scat Pack two-door models, with four-door and gasoline SIXPACK versions to follow, all built at Windsor Assembly, and that Stellantis's Windsor plant record dates the Daytona production launch to December 2024, later than the mid-2024 start first announced. It adds that Dodge priced the Daytona R/T at $59,595 and the Daytona Scat Pack at $73,190, before $1,995 destination, with PowerShot the R/T rated 496 horsepower and 404 lb-ft under a Stage 1 upgrade and the Scat Pack 670 horsepower and 627 lb-ft under Stage 2 and the Track Package, from a 400-volt dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, while the preliminary specification sheet separately lists 456 and 630 horsepower without PowerShot, its figures explicitly marked preliminary.^1,2,3,4

This record's own overview also states that no 2024 model-year production or delivery count was published, that FCA's Q4 2024 report gives 34,754 Charger sales for calendar 2024 without a separate electric row, and that its Q4 2025 report shows zero for "Charger BEV" in 2024, so the 2024 sales figure appears to be run-out of the 2023 gasoline sedan, a reading this record is careful to call an interpretation of the row labels rather than a statement FCA itself makes.^5,6

This record's own production rows carry that same distinction directly: a 34,754-unit "Charger" row and a separate zero-unit "Charger BEV" row, with a note on the BEV row stating explicitly that the zero is a reported figure in FCA's own table rather than a missing value. The record's own notes add that two-door Charger Daytona R/T and Scat Pack models began arriving in dealerships by the end of 2024, built at Windsor Assembly, with no build counts published for either.^5,6

This record's own identification section documents a genuine terminology conflict between two of the record's own sources: the preliminary specification sheet calls the body a three-door counting the hatch, while Dodge's own launch material calls it a two-door coupe, and the record carries both descriptions side by side rather than resolving which the car itself should be called. Its specifications section documents a 100.5 kWh total and 93.9 kWh usable battery, a 442-volt peak, and EPA range up to 308 miles for the R/T against 241 for the heavier Scat Pack.^4,1,7

This record's own engines section documents two dual-motor 400-volt electric powertrains, 456 horsepower rising to 496 with PowerShot Stage 1 for the R/T, and 630 rising to 670 with PowerShot Stage 2 and the Track Package for the Scat Pack. Its performance section documents three separate manufacturer estimates, a 3.3-second 0-60 for the Scat Pack with Track Package, a 4.7-second 0-60 for the R/T with Stage 1, and an 11.5-second quarter mile for the Scat Pack, all explicitly labeled manufacturer claims or estimates rather than independently measured.^4,3,7

This record's own options section documents a $4,995 Plus Group, a $1,095 Blacktop package for R/T, a $2,995 Carbon & Suede package for Scat Pack, and a First Call package for orders placed by October 31, 2024 including a two-day Radford Racing School experience. Its paint section lists eight colors from the March 2024 announcement, one of them, Bludicrous, marked late availability, and this record's own conflicts and unpublished leads sections are both empty for 2024, a gap it carries without substitution even though its own identification section already documents one genuine disagreement between two of its own sources.^3,8,9
