Dodge Charger EV vs Gas Model
Dodge Charger EV motor
There is so much "cool" going on with the Charger EV. Take, for example, the new ultra high-performance Charger R/T with 525-kilowatt high discharge rate electric motors producing 496-horsepower. It's delivered to an all-wheel drive powertrain to insure maximum acceleration with impressive efficiency. The 400-volt Scat Pack Charger Daytona will put out over 670 horsepower and over 600 lb-ft of torque transferred instantly through a selectable AWD system. So mighty, it will out-perform today's supercharged Hellcat Redeye V8. And we haven't even discussed the 800-volt Charger Banshee yet.
Charger Hurricane engine
Before freaking out that the new Charger is an EV only, don't forget the new Charger is also available with an internal combustion engine. The Dodge Six Pack with a twin-turbocharged Hurricane straight six engine will deliver a standard output of 420-horsepower, while the HO mode spins it up to 550 horsepower. This makes it the most power-dense internal combustion engine ever put into a muscle car
These Hurricane engines embody everything the Dodge Brothers have learned about piston power since opening their doors over 100 years ago. Twin turbochargers that feel as though they are constantly spooled up. An inline six-cylinder engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system are standard. The AWD system can be switched off so the Charger will perform as a rear-drive muscle car, too.
