Overview
The 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona EV is an electric 2- and 4-door muscle car, with all variants boasting dual-motor AWD powertrains with a button to switch to RWD. Outputs soar to as much as 670 horsepower in PowerShot and Drag mode, dropping the 0-60 time to as little as 3.3 seconds – quicker than the old supercharged V8 Hellcat Redeye from the previous Charger generation. A standard 100.5-kWh battery pack supports a range of up to 295 miles in the most efficient configuration. Rivals include the BMW i5 M60, Hyundai Ioniq 6 N, and the Tesla Model 3 Performance.
What’s New for 2026
The biggest news is the arrival of the 4-door sedan body style (above and below). Last year’s Daytona R/T trim has been dropped, so only the Scat Pack is available this year, in both body styles, and in regular and Plus trims. However, a significant price reduction means that the 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona EV’s price is still under $60K, even for the Scat Pack, whereas this trim cost over $70K last year. Of course, a whole range of combustion Chargers is also available, but we review them separately.

Exterior
The 2026 Charger Daytona EV reinterprets the styling of the 1968 Charger with its widebody stance, muscular fenders, and sculpted hood, but brought into the modern era with LED headlights and DRLs and 20-inch Satin Carbon alloy wheels. The Track package adds staggered-width wheels, Goodyear Eagle Sport all-season tires (Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tires are optional), a rear spoiler, and red front brake callipers.
A subwoofer beneath the rear bumper called the Fratzonic chambered exhaust emits V8-inspired sounds. Both 2- and 4-doors measure over 206 inches long on a 121-inch wheelbase, so they’re essentially full-size cars, despite their midsize positioning.

Interior
The cabin brings modern technology and muscle-car attitude together with a thoroughly modernized design sporting a digital gauge cluster (10.25 inches in the base trims and 16 inches in the Plus) and a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 Nav touchscreen that incorporates Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, Amazon Alexa, drive-mode pages, and a 9-speaker Alpine audio system (upgradable to an 18-speaker setup).
Amenities include dual-zone climate control with physical buttons, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, cloth/leatherette upholstery, a power driver’s seat, and heated front seats. Plus trims add adjustable ambient interior lighting, a power-adjustable tilting/telescoping steering wheel, a wireless charging pad, and more. Leather costs extra. The trunk is accessed via a hatchback and has a volume of 22.75 cu-ft with the 60/40-split rear seat up and 37.39 cu-ft with it folded. The frunk holds 1.5 cu-ft of luggage.

Pros and Cons
Pros:
- 670-hp PowerShot mode is quicker to 60 than old V8 Hellcat Redeye
- Switchable AWD-to-RWD with drift, donut, and drag modes
- Hatchback provides up to 38.5 cu-ft of volume
- 2- and 4-door body styles offer genuine choice
- Fratzonic exhaust gives the EV an audible personality
Cons:
- 5,800-pound curb weight is noticeable in corners and at the track
- Low range on wider tires limits long-distance usability
- Interior materials plasticky relative to the $60,000-plus price
- 400-volt architecture limits charging speed versus 800-volt competitors
- Daytona R/T entry trim discontinued
Verdict
The Dodge Charger Daytona EV is arguably the most audacious electric car on the market, with no direct rivals. It’s a practical, full-size hatchback measuring over 206 inches long, with up to 670 hp on tap, switchable AWD-to-RWD, and modes for donuts, drifting, and drag launches, available in either a 2- or 4-door.
The base trim offers the full performance experience, and the $5K Track package transforms it into a serious performance machine. It translates the muscle car into the electric era in a way nobody else has dared, and we love it for that.
