Dodge has updated the Charger for the 2027 model year, but the big news isn’t the engines or the design — it’s the pricing. The electric Charger Daytona EV has gotten a steep price hike, even though the technical output remains the same.

The two-door Daytona Scat Pack now starts at $72,495, up from the previous $59,995. That’s a $12,500 jump. The four-door version climbs from $61,995 to $72,995, adding $11,000. The Daytona Scat Pack Plus rises to $77,490 for the coupe and $77,990 for the sedan.

Mechanically the EV is unchanged. The Charger Daytona keeps its 670 hp output, the PowerShot function, the synthetic Fratzonic exhaust soundtrack, and a range of up to 267 miles, or about 430 km. What it does gain is a standard NACS port, which will let owners use Tesla Supercharger stations without an adapter.

Pricing for the gasoline Charger SIXPACK is unchanged. The R/T and Scat Pack trims continue to use the 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six with twin turbos, producing 420 and 550 hp respectively. All-wheel drive is standard, but a rear-wheel-drive mode is available.

Buyers also get more than 25 factory options: Petrol Blue leather, Demonic Red seatbelts, Mopar stripes, a Satin Black hood for the SIXPACK, and new Brembo caliper colors.

But there’s still no Hemi V8 in the lineup. For Dodge that’s a risky spot: the Charger is supposed to be the brand’s headline muscle car, but its most loyal fans aren’t waiting for a NACS port and new seatbelts — they’re waiting for a real V8 to come back.
