The Charger Daytona, the first electric muscle car from Dodge, arrives with a roar, unless you hit the mute button.

Can an electric vehicle stir one’s soul? Can it indulge that child within us that never grew up? Can it be a muscle car? Can it make noise?

Two 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona models will be in showrooms by year's end. Both are dual-motor, all-wheel-drive ( AWD ), two-door hatchbacks. Eight colors are available. In keeping with Dodge tradition, they’re named with a wink, and include hues like Bludicrous, Peel Out, and White Knuckle.

Enter the electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona with as much as 670 horsepower, an available Donut mode, and a subwoofer on the outside of the car. Obnoxiously loud, outrageously huge, objectively quick, and capable of vaporizing its own tires, the Charger Daytona aims to bring Dodge’s unique brand of muscle car energy to the EV world.

The Stellantis chief design officer took it in stride. “It really was a muscle car first, a Mopar first as well. And then there was the fact that it was electric,” he tells Road & Track of the result, the Dodge Charger Daytona EV. “So we wanted to give a love letter to the Mopar faithful, without it being a retro-themed design.”

Dodge is really hoping the 2024 Charger Daytona turns the electric car world on its head. Bets are being hedged, what with the existence of a gas engine-powered Charger Sixpack to come soon, but maximum performance will be found in the Daytona-branded EV models.
