Green Car Journal has named the Dodge Charger Daytona as 2025 Performance Green Car of the Year. The Charger Daytona features an all-electric, 400-volt dual motor system delivering muscle car performance through standard all-wheel drive, a mechanical limited-slip differential and Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system with a signature rumble.
“The Dodge Charger Daytona lives up to the brand’s storied muscle car legacy with its striking design and brute power at the ready,” said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and GreenCarJournal.com. “It delivers its impressive performance through the inherent efficiency of zero-emission electric drive as it addresses the need to reduce carbon emissions and promote environmental achievement.”
As the first all-electric vehicles from the Dodge brand, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack and Charger Daytona R/T also qualify for a full $7,500 federal tax credit. All Charger Daytona models include the choice of an at-home Level 2 charging station or $600 charge credits through Free2move Charge, a 360-degree ecosystem launched in 2023 by Stellantis that seamlessly delivers charging and energy management to address all electric-vehicle customer needs.
Both vehicles can be recharged from a 20% to 80% charge status in just over 27 minutes when using a Level 3 DC CCS fast charger. All-electric four-door Daytona Scat Pack and R/T models are scheduled to begin production in the first half of 2025.
The two-door Charger Daytona models are part of the Charger’s multi-energy lineup, which will include gas-powered two-door Dodge Charger SIXPACK H.O. and four-door Dodge Charger SIXPACK S.O. models, scheduled to begin production in the second half of 2025.
First Call orders are now open for the two-door coupe versions of Charger Daytona R/T and Charger Daytona Scat Pack, featuring exclusive First Call packages that include a two-day performance driving experience at Radford Racing School, a welcome kit and an exclusive VIP concierge service for customers who take delivery of a Dodge Charger Daytona sold order placed by Oct. 31.
