Dodge has not had a fun time selling its Charger Daytona EV.

The American brand announced the release of the Charger Daytona EV back in March 2024.

Unfortunately, the all-electric muscle car has not been well-received at all.

And Dodge has responded by drastically reducing the price of the 670hp car.

Dodge Charger Daytona EV falls flat

When Stellantis threw the covers off the Charger Daytona EV, many people were surprised.

From its point of view, it argued that it was a forward move into the future.

It presented this vision to its customers of the next era of muscle car performance.

But the release of the Charger Daytona EV left many of Dodge’s core customer base unconvinced.

What they received was an electric coupe that simply wasn’t as exciting as what came before.

The styling and the sound generator have both been generally met with disappointing reviews.

But it is the absence of the beloved, ICE powerplant, that has been the biggest disappointment of all.

It appears to have alienated much of the original fanbase that was besotted with previous Chargers and Challengers.

American brand listens – and responds

Well, the brand appears to have watched and listened – because prices are being dropped.

According to numbers from Cox Auto, Dodge has sold just 4,200 Charger Daytona EV units since the beginning of the year.

You don’t exactly have to be a statistical genius to realize that is not good.

Such weak demand has shocked the Americans into action; specifically by re-thinking its lineup.

The base Charger Daytona R/T has already been dropped from the order lists.

That leaves the more powerful Scat Pack variant as the sole option for the all-electric muscle car.

It will also be carrying a very different sticker price for the 2026 model year, too.

Dodge is discounting the RRP of the Charger Daytona Scat Pack by $5,000.

That leaves its MSRP price at around $59,995 – an 8.3 percent discount on the current price of $64,995.

It also leaves the more powerful Scat Pack at just $2,000 more expensive than the discontinued R/T.

This is despite now offering over 670hp, compared to the 496hp of the R/T.

It is a move that appears to offer much more bang for your buck from Dodge.

Do you think this move will help Dodge enjoy a more successful year in selling the Charger Daytona?
