The Electric Dodge Charger Just Got Nearly $10,000 More Expensive

A Huge Jump in Pricing

Dodge has opened the order books for the 2027 Charger Daytona Scat Pack, and the big story is a substantial price increase. The all-electric muscle coupe now starts at $72,495, with the four-door model priced slightly higher at $72,995. That’s a $9,810 jump over the 2026 model’s $62,685 starting price.

Despite the hike, Dodge continues to market the Daytona Scat Pack as the world’s most powerful muscle car, delivering 670 horsepower through its dual-motor electric powertrain.

Positioned at the top of the Charger lineup, the Daytona Scat Pack is a flagship for the brand’s electric ambitions. However, there’s no notable performance or range enhancements for 2027, which is eyebrow-raising, to say the least. With the base model gone, Dodge is clearly evolving its strategy as it steers its muscle heritage into the EV era while keeping enthusiasts happy with gas-powered variants. But will it resonate with customers?

Familiar Performance, Key Charging Upgrade

Mechanically, the 2027 Daytona Scat Pack remains largely unchanged from 2026 model year. It retains its 400V all-wheel-drive setup, PowerShot feature that adds 40 horsepower on demand, and the signature Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system that simulates a classic muscle-car soundtrack. Standard performance tools such as Launch Control, Drift Donut Mode, and multiple drive configurations all return unchanged.

The most significant update comes in charging capability. For 2027, Dodge equips all models with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port and includes a J1772-to-NACS adapter. This gives owners access to Tesla’s Supercharger network, vastly improving charging convenience and travel flexibility. Dodge says retrofit details for 2026 models will be announced in early 2026.

Why the Price Jumped

While Stellantis didn’t explain the hefty price hike, there are clues to consider. The entire EV market continues to face cost pressures. Prices for battery materials, semiconductors, and power electronics remain volatile, while automakers like Stellantis work to recoup massive investments in dedicated EV architectures.

Together, these factors could explain the near-$10,000 increase despite no performance bump. There’s a chance Dodge might offer discounts throughout the Charger Daytona’s life, if you’re really interested.

For interested buyers, some thinking needs to be done. The 2027 Charger Daytona Scat Pack adds meaningful charging convenience but no new speed or range gains. Perhaps the question you need to answer is whether you really want an electric muscle car.
