A document appearing to show spec and prices for the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona has leaked online revealing that the electric coupe will cost early buyers at least $68,000.
A screenshot of an official Stellantis document via @ButterDaInsider shows two of the five possible trim and powertrain configurations available in First Edition cars, and the most affordable of those is an R/T with an MSRP of $68,570. The other is a Scat Pack listed at $82,170.

As is common industry practice, these First Edition models are better equipped and more expensive than the regular versions of the EV that will follow once Dodge has milked the early adopters dry. The First Edition R/T gets a Direct Connection eStage 1 upgrade that adds 40 hp (41 PS) for a total of 496 hp (503 PS) and the Plus Group, which brings ventilated leather seats, a 16-inch gauge cluster and fancy LED lights including light bar, Mopar Insiders reports.
Also included are the Sun & Sound Group – panoramic roof, Alpine Pro 18-speaker hifi – and a Blacktop Appearance package that amps up the meanness courtesy of dark-finish 20-inch rims and dark R/T badges.
Helping justify its $15k premium over the Charger Daytona R/T, the $82,170 Scat Pack First Edition comes with a Direct Connection eStage 2 upgrade to its bi-motor drivetrain that adds 80 hp (81 PS) for a total of 670 hp (679 PS), as well as a Track Pack consisting of red Brembo six-piston calipers up front, 305 and 325-section tires front and back, leather and suede sports seats and a drive experience recorder.
It also gets the same Plus and Sun & Sound Group bundles fitted to the R/T, but swaps the Blacktop Appearance package for a Carbon & Suede Package that serves up carbon fiber mirror caps and interior trim, a suede headliner and dark 20-inch wheels.
Dodge dealers will be hoping there are plenty of rich Mopar fans so desperate to get into a new Charger that they don’t spent too long thinking about those prices. Because buyers have some great EV options available to them from other automakers, including the new 510 hp (517 PS) Tesla Model 3 Performance for just $54,630, and the excellent 641 hp (650 PS) Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, which costs a little more, but at $67,495 still undercuts both Chargers.
Less expensive (and less loaded) Charger Daytona EVs will filter through later, but the real value models arrive next spring when Dodge unleashes the combustion-powered variants. In a recent Carscoops poll 82 percent of you said you’d prefer to wait for the ICE version and that was before we knew how much the EVs would cost.
