The Dodge Charger Daytona EV will live up to its name as the “World’s first and only electric muscle car” as it hits new markets outside North America. Dodge’s new electric Charger is officially headed overseas as the brand eyes a bigger share of the global market.
When will Dodge launch the new Charger EV overseas?
In March, Dodge finally took the sheets off the all-electric Charger Daytona EV, claiming it retains the title of “World’s quickest and most powerful muscle car.” Well, the electric Charger will now get its chance to prove it.
Muscle car fans in markets outside North America will soon be able to buy the new Dodge Charger EV. Dodge maker Stellantis confirmed to CarScoops that the Charger Electric will launch in overseas markets starting next year.
“The Dodge Charger will also be sold in the Middle East beginning in the second half of 2025,” a spokesperson said. They added, “It will be available through importers in Europe,” which will also start later next year.
Dodge will introduce its full Charger lineup overseas, including EV and gas-powered models. The vehicle will also be available in two- and four-door versions. However, we still don’t know which powertrain will arrive first.
In the US, the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona EV is available in two options. Dodge opened orders for the base R/T model in August, starting at $59,995.
| 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona EV trim | Horsepower | 0 to 60 mph time | Starting price* |
| Dodge Charger Daytona R/T | 496 hp | 4.7 seconds | $59,995 |
| Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack | 670 hp | 3.3 seconds | $73,190 |

I'm not sure what makes this first, the styling? The noise? It's not the performance since it's quite late to the game, priced high and toward the back of the pack of the performance EVs from mid-price to price is no object.
Meanwhile, the high-performance Scat Pack trim costs $73,190. The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona EV Scat Pack includes a Direct Connection Stage 2 upgrade straight from the factory, delivering up to 670 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque for “SRT-like performance.” It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds.
Dodge will follow up the EV model with two gas-powered models, a coupe and a sedan, set to arrive at dealerships next year.
The news comes after Stellantis confirmed in October that Ram’s first electric pickup, the Ram 1500 REV, will also launch overseas.
