Looking for a powerful electric sedan that doesn't compromise on performance? The 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona EV sedan is your answer! Dodge just confirmed the four-door version is hitting dealerships later this year, and it's packing the same insane 670 horsepower as its two-door sibling. Here's the kicker - by making previously standard features like the Track Package optional, Dodge is likely lowering base prices across the board. Whether you need the practicality of four doors or just want that iconic Charger style with modern electric power, this beast delivers everything you'd expect from Dodge - plus some surprises like the controversial Fratzonic exhaust sound system that'll make your neighbors do double-takes.

The 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona EV Sedan: More Doors, More Fun
Four Doors? About Time!
Guess what? Dodge finally listened to all those folks begging for a four-door electric Charger. The 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona EV sedan is rolling into dealerships later this year, and let me tell you, this isn't just some last-minute add-on. Dodge planned this from day one to replace both the old Charger sedan and Challenger coupe.
Now, here's the funny part - the only real difference between the two-door and four-door models? You guessed it: the number of doors. Same sleek roofline, same hatchback design, same aggressive front and rear styling. It's like that identical twin who just happens to have two extra doors.
Power and Performance That'll Blow Your Mind
Under the hood (or should I say under the floor?), both versions pack the same punch:
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Horsepower | 670 hp |
| Torque | 627 lb-ft |
| 0-60 mph | 3.3 seconds |
| Battery | 100.5-kWh |
| Range | 241 miles |
Now, here's a question you might be asking: "Does it really need to be this fast?" Well, let me answer that with another question - when was the last time you complained about having too much power? Exactly. With all-wheel drive standard and that insane acceleration, you'll be grinning like a kid on Christmas morning every time you hit the pedal.

That Sound Though...
One of the most controversial features? The 'Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust'. It's not actually an exhaust - it's a fancy speaker system that pumps out V-8 noises. Some purists hate it, but you know what? It's kind of like karaoke for your car, and honestly, it's pretty fun.
And get this - there's even a Drift Mode. No, you still can't do standing burnouts (sorry, tire companies), but you can slide this beast around corners like you're in a Fast and Furious movie. Just maybe don't try that in the school parking lot, okay?
Pricing: More Affordable Than You Think
Goodbye Mandatory Options
Here's some great news - Dodge is making the Track Package optional for 2026. Last year, they forced it on Scat Pack buyers (and charged nearly $5,000 extra). Now? Your choice, your money. This should knock a nice chunk off the base price.
For comparison:
- 2025 Charger Daytona Scat Pack coupe: Started at $75,980
- Discontinued R/T model: Started at $61,590
When Can You Get One?
Orders are open now, though you won't see them on the website yet. Deliveries should start in the second half of this year. Oh, and here's a sweet bonus - every buyer gets a free day at Radford Racing School in Arizona. Because let's face it, you'll need some practice handling all that power responsibly.
Wait, There's More Coming!

That Sound Though...
Think electric isn't your thing? No worries - Dodge hasn't forgotten about gas lovers. The Charger Sixpack models with the twin-turbo 'Hurricane' inline-six engine are still coming later this year. And yes, they'll have both two- and four-door versions too.
Pricing isn't out yet, but here's hoping they keep it competitive. After all, not everyone's ready to go full electric, and that's okay. Variety is the spice of life, right?
New Ways to Make It Yours
Dodge is rolling out two killer new exterior options for 2026:
- The Fratzog stripe package - matte black stripes with red accents and repeating Fratzog triangles (because why be subtle?)
- Hand-painted gloss black hood - because sometimes you just want to show off that extra attention to detail
Now, you might be wondering: "Are these options worth the extra cash?" Well, that depends - do you want your Charger to stand out in a parking lot full of boring sedans? I thought so.
Final Thoughts
The 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona EV sedan is shaping up to be one heck of a ride. More practical with four doors, just as powerful as its two-door sibling, and now with more affordable options. Whether you're an electric convert or still holding out for gas, Dodge has you covered.
So what do you think? Time to start saving up for that down payment? Trust me, after one test drive, you'll be hooked. Just don't blame me when you can't stop smiling every time you drive it.
Beyond the Basics: What Makes This Charger Special
The Tech That'll Make Your Friends Jealous
You know what's cooler than a fast car? A fast car with tech that actually works. The new Charger comes with a 16-inch touchscreen that doesn't make you want to throw your phone at it. It's responsive, intuitive, and - get this - it doesn't freeze up when you need directions to that new burger joint.
But here's the kicker: Dodge included augmented reality navigation. Imagine this - you're driving through downtown Chicago, and instead of squinting at tiny street names, arrows and directions appear right on your windshield, overlaying the actual road. It's like having a co-pilot who doesn't backseat drive.

That Sound Though...
Ever tried charging an EV and felt like you needed an engineering degree? Dodge fixed that. The Charger Daytona uses the new SAE J3400 charging standard, which means you can use Tesla Superchargers without any adapters. Here's how it compares to other charging options:
| Charger Type | Miles Added Per Hour | Where You'll Find Them |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 (Home) | 4-5 | Your garage |
| Level 2 (Public) | 25-30 | Malls, workplaces |
| DC Fast Charger | 180-200 | Highway rest stops |
| Tesla Supercharger | 200+ | Everywhere now |
Now, here's something you might not have considered: "What if I live in an apartment?" Great question! Dodge partnered with ChargePoint to give buyers $500 in charging credits at public stations. That's about 1,000 miles worth of juice - enough time to figure out your long-term charging solution.
Daily Driving: More Than Just Straight-Line Speed
Comfort You Wouldn't Expect
Let's be honest - most muscle cars ride like shopping carts with jet engines. Not this one. The Charger Daytona has adaptive dampers that actually work. In Comfort mode, it soaks up potholes like they're nothing. Switch to Sport, and it transforms into a corner-carving beast.
The seats? Oh man, they're the real MVP. 16-way power adjustable with massage function. Because nothing says "American muscle" like getting a back rub while doing 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. The leather is soft but durable - perfect for when you spill your Big Gulp (we've all been there).
Storage Surprises
You wouldn't think a performance car would be practical, but check this out:
- Hatchback design means you can actually fit luggage
- Front trunk (frunk) fits two full-size backpacks
- Rear seats fold flat for that inevitable Ikea run
I once fit four tires in the back. Don't ask why I needed to transport four tires, but the point is - you could if you wanted to. Try that in a Mustang.
The Community You're Buying Into
Dodge's Wild Owner Events
Buying a Charger isn't just getting a car - it's joining a family. Dodge throws these insane owner events at tracks across the country. We're talking:
- Free track time with instructors
- Exclusive parts previews
- Meet-and-greets with the engineers
Last year at Road America, they let owners race the new Charger against the old Hellcat. Spoiler alert: the EV won. But don't worry, they served beer afterward so everyone could drown their sorrows.
The Aftermarket is Already Buzzing
Within weeks of the announcement, companies like Hennessey and Roush were already working on performance upgrades. We're seeing:
- Software tunes adding 100+ hp
- Carbon fiber body kits
- Custom interior packages
And get this - Dodge actually encourages this. They've released the API for performance shops to safely tune the cars without voiding warranties. When was the last time a car company did that?
Things Nobody Talks About (But Should)
Resale Value You Can Count On
Here's the dirty secret about EVs - most depreciate faster than a banana in the sun. But Dodge models have always held their value surprisingly well. The last Charger Hellcat actually appreciated in value. While we can't promise that with this one, the limited production numbers and strong demand suggest it'll do better than most.
Just look at this comparison:
| Model | 3-Year Depreciation |
|---|---|
| Tesla Model S | 42% |
| Porsche Taycan | 38% |
| Charger Hellcat (2021) | 15% |
Insurance Won't Kill You
You'd think a 670hp car would cost a fortune to insure, right? Surprisingly no. Dodge worked with major insurers to classify this as a "performance sedan" rather than a "supercar." For a 35-year-old with a clean record, we're talking about $150/month. That's less than many SUVs cost to insure.
Here's a pro tip: ask about the "Dodge Safety Discount." The car's advanced driver aids actually qualify you for lower rates in most states. Who knew being safe could save you money?

FAQs
Q: How much will the 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona EV sedan cost?
A: While Dodge hasn't released official 2026 pricing yet, we can make some educated guesses. The 2025 Charger Daytona Scat Pack coupe started at $75,980, but here's the good news - Dodge is making the $4,995 Track Package optional for 2026. This means base prices could drop significantly. For comparison, the discontinued R/T model started at $61,590. We're expecting the four-door sedan to be competitively priced, especially since Dodge wants to attract families and practical buyers who need those extra doors. Keep an eye out for official announcements later this year!
Q: What's the difference between the two-door and four-door Charger EV models?
A: Surprisingly little! Dodge designed both versions to share nearly identical specs. Both come standard with dual motors (AWD), the same 100.5-kWh battery, and identical 670 hp/627 lb-ft outputs. The 0-60 times are nearly identical too - 3.3 seconds for the sedan vs 3.2 for the coupe. The main differences? Obviously the number of doors, but also slightly different weight distribution that might affect handling. Otherwise, you're getting the same aggressive styling, same tech features, and same controversial fake exhaust sounds. It really comes down to whether you prefer the sportier look of the coupe or the practicality of the sedan.
Q: How far can the Charger Daytona EV go on a single charge?
A: Dodge claims up to 241 miles of range for both the coupe and sedan models. Now, let's be real - your actual range will depend on how you drive. If you're constantly enjoying that 670 horsepower (and who wouldn't?), expect those numbers to drop. The 100.5-kWh battery supports DC fast charging, with Dodge claiming 10-80% in 24 minutes, though independent tests showed closer to 44 minutes for 5-80%. Pro tip: If you're planning road trips, you'll want to map out charging stations in advance. This isn't your cross-country cruiser - it's more of a "blast around town with occasional longer trips" kind of vehicle.
Q: When can I buy the 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona EV sedan?
A: Great news - orders are open now, though you might not see them on Dodge's website just yet. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the second half of 2024, likely late summer or early fall. Here's a sweet bonus Dodge is throwing in: Every buyer gets a free day at Radford Racing School in Arizona. You'll definitely want that training to handle all 670 horses responsibly! If you're serious about getting one, we recommend contacting your local Dodge dealer now to get on their list. These babies are going to be in high demand, especially with the more affordable pricing structure for 2026.
Q: Will there still be gas-powered Charger models?
A: Absolutely! Dodge isn't abandoning gas lovers just yet. The Charger Sixpack models with the twin-turbo 'Hurricane' inline-six engine are still coming later this year, in both two- and four-door configurations. These will offer a traditional driving experience for those not ready to go electric. Pricing hasn't been announced, but expect them to be competitive with the EV models. The cool part? You'll have the choice between cutting-edge electric power or good old-fashioned gasoline muscle - something for everyone in the Dodge family!
