DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA PREPARES FOR 2026 SOLID-STATE UPGRADE

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona is slated for a significant upgrade with the integration of Factorial's semi-solid-state battery technology. This move aims to address current criticisms regarding the EV's range and pricing. While the 2025 model year production will be paused from March to May 2025 for this transition, the potential benefits are substantial. The new battery technology promises a drastic increase in range, potentially reaching 400-600 miles, and faster charging capabilities. Furthermore, the new batteries are expected to be cheaper to manufacture and lighter, which could lead to improved performance and a lower overall vehicle cost, addressing the current $85,000 price point for the Scat Pack. The introduction of this technology positions the Charger Daytona as a potential game-changer in the EV market, especially if it reaches consumers before competitors. However, the long-term durability and performance of these new batteries under real-world conditions will be crucial for its success.
