Shocking Revelations

It should come as no surprise that Dodge has some amazing things in store for this new car. Some think it to be taboo to create an all-electric muscle car, but Dodge thinks differently. An electric muscle car is somewhat counterintuitive, but the company is doing its best to honor the history of muscle cars and the spirit of its much-appreciated design.

While Dodge hasn’t revealed everything they have planned for this new era of Charger EVs, they have given some insight into its design, specs, and what is to be expected.

Power and Upgrades

Muscle cars must be powerful. It’s the law. Fortunately for everyone keeping tabs on the new SRT Charger EV, Dodge has revealed what is to be expected in the power department.

The standard version of the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT EV will be toting 340 kilowatts of output. What does that mean? This means the standard version will be getting 455 hp. Better models will be getting 440 kilowatts. That’s 590 hp. It doesn’t stop there.

Both models will be available for upgrades. Owners looking for more power will be offered upgrades that will increase horsepower considerably. The standard model gets two upgrades, bringing the horsepower up to 495 hp or 535 hp. The better version can be upgraded up to 630 hp or 670 hp. That’s a lot of power. The best version of this vehicle will be named the SRT Banshee, so if you are looking for an absolute beast, this is the one for you.

Still More to Come from Dodge
