Dodge Axes Base Electric Muscle Car, the Charger Daytona R/T
2025-06-04
Dodge has confirmed that the base electric Charger Daytona R/T will not return for the 2026 model year, leaving only the pricier Scat Pack version. This follows significant incentives offered on 2024 and 2025 models to clear inventory, and recent tariff increases impacting the Canadian-built coupe. Dealers currently hold roughly 3,500 unsold R/T models, prompting steep discounts. Eliminating the base trim will inevitably increase the Charger's price, bad news for what was hyped as the first electric muscle car.
