Dodge’s Commitment to Electric Innovation
After months of anticipation, Dodge has finally unveiled its latest electric vehicle, the Charger electric sedan. This release marks the second phase in the transformation of the Charger lineup, boasting a formidable 670 horsepower. Despite the lukewarm reception of last year’s Charger coupe, the new sedan promises a more mature presence in the market. Like its predecessor, the sedan is built on the STLA Large platform, ensuring robust performance and efficiency.
Unmatched Performance and Efficiency
Equipped with a dual-motor setup, the new Charger sedan delivers an impressive 627 lb-ft of torque. With a 0-60 mph acceleration time of just 3.3 seconds, this electric vehicle rivals the performance of the traditional supercharged Hellcat Redeye. The sedan features a 100.5 kWh battery and a 400-volt architecture, providing a range of 387 km on a single charge. Fast charging capabilities allow for a recharge in less than 30 minutes, making it convenient for long-distance travel.
A Driving Experience Like No Other
The Charger sedan comes with a variety of driving modes, including Track, Drag, Drift, and even a unique Donut mode, offering drivers a diverse range of driving experiences. The PowerShot mode adds an extra 40 horsepower for 10 seconds when needed. Additionally, the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system recreates the iconic V8 engine sound, providing an emotionally engaging driving experience. This feature highlights Dodge’s effort to ensure that their electric vehicles can stand toe-to-toe with traditional models in terms of driving excitement.
Safety and Convenience Redefined
The 2026 model introduces the ‘Track Pack’ option, designed for the most dedicated drivers. This package includes 16-inch Brembo vented rotors and a robust braking system with six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers. Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tires ensure stability and performance. Inside, the sedan offers a modern aesthetic with a 16-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen featuring the latest Uconnect 5 system. Standard features include wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa, enhancing connectivity and convenience.
Pricing and Market Position
Although the exact pricing for the sedan hasn’t been announced, it is expected to be slightly higher than the coupe version. The 2025 Charger Daytona R/T Coupe starts at approximately $81,600, with the Scat Pack Coupe reaching up to $92,900. The added practicality of the sedan could justify a higher price point. Ultimately, the electric Charger sedan offers a compelling package that surpasses its predecessors, especially for those seeking Hellcat-level performance combined with everyday usability.
The Future of Electric Vehicles
The launch of the Dodge Charger electric sedan signifies a significant step forward in the evolution of performance vehicles. As the automotive industry moves towards electrification, traditional brands like Dodge are proving that electric does not mean compromising on power or excitement. With advancements in battery technology and design, the future of electric vehicles looks promising, offering both consumers and manufacturers new opportunities to innovate.
