2025 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA SCAT PACK: HERE'S A MOPAR GUY'S TAKE!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack EV presents a compelling, albeit expensive, proposition for Mopar enthusiasts looking to embrace electrification. While it doesn't quite capture the raw, playful spirit of the Hyundai Ioniq 5N, the Charger offers a surprisingly engaging driving experience for its substantial 6,000 lb weight, with impressive handling and a customizable driving profile that can range from docile to aggressively sporty. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's potent acceleration, the unique (and sometimes polarizing) synthesized exhaust note, and the surprisingly spacious interior, particularly for rear passengers. However, significant drawbacks include a disappointing real-world range of around 175 miles (from an 80% charge) and a slow maximum charging speed of 183 kW. Interior criticisms focus on the overly sensitive parking sensors, the single-panel haptic controls that lack tactile feedback, and the reflection of interior lighting on the glass. Despite these flaws and a steep starting price of over $80,000, the reviewer concludes that the Charger Daytona Scat Pack is a fun car worth having, making it a strong second choice for an EV in Southern California after the Ioniq 5N.
