Dodge Charger EV pre-production model photos

Just a few weeks after the Charger internal combustion engine (ICE) model ended production, Dodge has shared a look at what appears to be a production-spec Charger EV in the style of the Charger Daytona SRT EV concept shown in 2022.

The photos, shared directly by Dodge on Friday, show a two-door with a Challenger-like appearance and the brand’s new Fratzog logo for performance EVs, says Road and Track, the new EV expected to be available in the US in late 2024.

The few photos shared indicate the car retains most of the design ideas from the Daytona EV concept, says Road and Track.

“Slightly more rounded lines, a re-designed headlight bar, and side reflectors are a clear indicator that this is a production car design rather than another concept, but Dodge has offered no further details on what that car will be underneath the sharp pony car looks.”

The Charger Daytona SRT EV concept’s name suggests that the two-door will be called a Charger rather than a Challenger, says Road and Track.

“That may seem confusing after a decade and a half of two-door Challengers and four-door Chargers, but Charger two-doors existed throughout the 1960s and 1970s. If Dodge goes through with that branding change, think of the choice as a uniquely American opposite of Acura’s decision to produce only a five-door Integra.”

Road and Track says reports from late last year indicate the Charger may get a gas-powered engine at some stage but the Fratzog logo suggests that this particular car is still an EV.

Dodge debuted an electric Charger concept in 2022, EVs and Beyond reported on at the time, along with a similar car among two EVs on a Fast & Furious movie set.
