The 2025 Dodge Charger Could Be Getting A Powerful EV Powertrain

Rumors are swirling around how the next-generation Dodge Charger will be replaced by the Challenger and what to expect from this electric vehicle. It seems that the Dodge Charger EV will have more horsepower than the Hellcat V8 and have three different drivetrains. Starting off, the EV range will rely on a 400-volt architecture and a single, rear-mounted motor, and the mid-range EV will have a 400-volt architecture and a second, front-mounted electric motor.

As for the gas engine, it will have the Hurricane straight-six engine, and the 2025 Dodge Charger will most likely be the one to kick off the lineup. Unfortunately, there isn’t much information to go off of yet so a lot is left up to the consumer’s imagination. Let’s take a further look into what an electric Dodge vehicle brings to the table. 

Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept

Many car brands are quickly transitioning to selling electric cars and trying to keep up with the competition. Dodge plans to reveal their first-ever electrified muscle cars to their consumers. The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept will be used in helping build the future of the Dodge brand as they move into the journey of electrification. At the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, Nevada, Dodge presents the Banshee-powered battery-electric muscle car and six other “Last Call” 2023 Dodge Charger and Challenger special edition vehicles. 

During SEMA, it was announced for nine possible powertrain outputs for the electric muscle car concept. There will be three battery-electric power levels to be introduced at SEMA. Dodge has a specific way they will approach the electrified performance, with a 400-volt system output levels of 340 kilowatts (456 hp) and 440 kilowatts (590 hp) and possibly a power-level 800-volt SRT Banshee powertrain package. 

The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept will grab anyone’s attention with its brand-new tri-coat Stryker Red exterior hue. Dodge wanted to celebrate the Stage 2 Banshee performance upgrade by adding a new exterior paint color. The muscle car also features a “Stage 2” fender badge and 18-inch Direct Connection lightweight carbon-fiber wheels. For the Dodge concept vehicle, there will be nine different wheel combinations and Direct Connection upgrade levels. 

During the SEMA show, Dodge will have consumers complete a survey regarding tuning the patent-pending Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, the first BEV exhaust system. All the consumer feedback will help Dodge create a signature sound for the soon-to-be all-electric charger muscle car. There is a lot on the line for the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept for its electrical future. It’s an exciting new concept that a muscle car can now be electric while still sticking to its true roots.
