You know what donut-ripping, V8-loving, gas-in-my-veins Dodge drivers really don’t want? An electric car. Well, they’re getting one anyway. The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona—a battery-powered take on the storied American muscle car—has arrived.
And while it’s maybe not as controversial as something like the Tesla Cybertruck, everybody’s got opinions about this thing. I think it looks badass and serves up respectable specs, like over 300 miles of range. I think it was smart of Dodge to develop a deafeningly loud fake exhaust, because is it even a Dodge if it can’t terrorize your neighbors? The real question is: Will the brand’s die-hard customers, the “Brotherhood of Muscle,” bite?
My co-host Patrick George and I discuss that and more on this week’s episode of the Plugged-In Podcast. Also on tap: We talk EV road trip tips and break down why Honda and Nissan might merge. And, be sure to stick around to the end for Patrick’s very sincere pledge of allegiance to “co-President” Elon Musk.
