The Dodge Charger Daytona EV is set to live up to its title as the “World’s first and only electric muscle car” as it makes its way to new markets outside of North America. Dodge is expanding its reach, aiming for a larger share of the global market with the electric Charger.
In March, Dodge revealed the all-electric Charger Daytona EV, proudly claiming it as the “World’s quickest and most powerful muscle car.” Now, the electric Charger is ready to prove its performance on a global stage.
Muscle car enthusiasts in markets outside North America will soon have the opportunity to purchase the new Dodge Charger EV. During an interview Dodge maker Stellantis confirmed to CarScoops that the Charger Electric will launch in the overseas market starting next year.
A spokesperson said, “The Dodge Charger will also be sold in the Middle East beginning in the second half of 2025. “ They also added, “It will be available through importers in Europe,” which will also start later next year.
Dodge is set to launch its entire Charger lineup internationally, featuring both electric and gas-powered versions. The vehicle will be available in two-door and four-door variants. However, it remains unclear which powertrain will be introduced first.
In the US market, 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.
