- The deal is only available to buyers in the Northeast, Southern, and Central US.
- Dodge has confirmed the new EV will be offered with the full $7,500 tax credit when leased.
While the jury is still out on whether Dodge jumped the gun and launched an all-electric muscle car before the market was ready, Stellantis has unveiled the four colors available at launch: Peelout (orange), Diamond Black, White Knuckle, and Bludicrous. Previously, it was believed that only three colors—Diamond Black, Triple Nickel, and White Knuckle—would be offered when the new Charger Daytona went on sale, but it seems plans have changed.
At the same time, Stellantis announced a new financing deal that could tempt power-hungry enthusiasts to get behind the wheel of the new electric muscle car rather than waiting for next summer (or fall) when the ICE-powered version with a turbocharged straight-six engine is expected to reach dealers.

Buyers in the Northeast, Southern, and Central US can pick up the keys to the new EV with 0% financing for up to 72 months, a bulletin recently sent to dealers reveals. This promo will only run through until December 2, is a standalone offer that can’t be combined with other incentives, and only people with above-average credit will qualify. Moreover, it’s unclear whether those living on the West Coast will be able to take advantage of that deal.
However, it’s worth noting that Dodge has yet to confirm if the Charger Daytona is eligible for the $7,500 EV tax credit when purchased. What we do know is that it’s eligible for the full credit when leased, meaning this could be a better option for some.
Additionally, Stellantis announced in October that 2024 Charger Daytona models qualify for a $1,000 loyalty discount for customers returning a leased Dodge vehicle. As Cars Direct points out, the automaker has yet to disclose how much it will cost to lease the electric muscle car.

Those interested in purchasing the Dodge outright will need to shell out $61,590 for the entry-level R/T model. This version delivers 496 hp and 404 lb-ft (548 Nm) of torque—plenty of muscle for most buyers.
For those seeking even more power, the Daytona Charger is also offered in the Scat Pack configuration, which boosts output to 670 hp and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm). Starting at $75,185, it’s a hefty price tag, but the performance backs it up. The Scat Pack rockets to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 3.3 seconds and can tear through the quarter-mile in 11.5 seconds.
Unfortunately, buyers will have to wait a bit longer to get behind the wheel than originally anticipated as production of the EV had yet to begin as of last week.
