The world’s first electric muscle car has officially arrived, and Dodge is making it even more appealing for potential buyers. The Dodge Charger Daytona EV, unveiled earlier this year, is being launched with a 0% APR financing offer, making it more affordable than the outgoing gas-powered version.
In March, Dodge introduced the Charger Daytona EV as part of its transition into “the next generation of Dodge muscle,” showcasing impressive performance and modern features. According to Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis, the Scat Pack variant of the Charger Daytona delivers performance on par with the Hellcat Redeye. Equipped with a factory-installed Direct Connection Stage 2 upgrade kit, it offers 670 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. This enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds and complete a quarter-mile run in approximately 11.5 seconds.
For comparison, the gas-powered Dodge Charger SRT Redeye Jailbreak, with its 807 hp 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8 engine, achieves a 0 to 60 mph time of 3.6 seconds. Meanwhile, the base R/T trim of the electric Charger Daytona, with a Stage 1 upgrade, delivers 456 hp and 404 lb-ft of torque, reaching 60 mph in 4.7 seconds.
Dodge opened orders for the 2024 Charger Daytona EV in September, with pricing starting at $59,995 for the R/T trim and $73,190 for the high-performance Scat Pack trim. A recent dealer update reveals that all 2024 Charger Daytona EV models are eligible for 0% APR financing for up to 72 months in select regions, including the Northeast, Southern, and Central U.S.
2024 Dodge Charger Daytona EV: Pricing and Performance
| Trim | Horsepower | 0 to 60 mph Time | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charger Daytona R/T | 456 hp | 4.7 seconds | $59,995 |
| Charger Daytona Scat Pack | 670 hp | 3.3 seconds | $73,190 |
Prices exclude a $1,995 destination fee.
The 0% APR offer makes the 2024 Charger Daytona EV more economical to finance than the 2023 gas-powered model, which comes with a 5.9% APR for the same term. However, the financing offer cannot be combined with other promotions. Additionally, Dodge is extending a $1,000 loyalty bonus to Stellantis lessees trading in their vehicles for the electric Charger.
Eligible buyers may also benefit from the $7,500 federal EV tax credit, potentially saving up to $8,500 on the purchase. However, the offers are time-sensitive, with a December 2, 2024, expiration date.
In a related development, Jeep, another Stellantis brand, recently launched its luxury electric SUV, the Wagoneer S, with a $599 per month lease option and a 0% financing offer, further highlighting Stellantis’ commitment to electrification.
