Today’s biggest stories

From Ford‘s now-dead $6.5 billion EV deal, to Dodge‘s sky-high Charger pricing, to a Toyota recall and more, things aren’t the way they were yesterday. Here, we’ll round up the biggest news stories of the last 24 hours on AutoBlog and divvy them up into bite-sized chunks that get right to the heart of the story, allowing you to go deeper if you want.

Dodge’s electric Charger is getting more expensive by the minute

Dodge has opened the order books for the 2027 Charger Daytona Scat Pack, and the big story is a substantial price increase. Dodge keeps calling it the “world’s most powerful muscle car,” which is somewhat cheapened, ironically, by its price point. The Charger does receive some updates, however. For 2027, Dodge equips all models with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port and includes a J1772-to-NACS adapter. This provides owners with access to Tesla’s Supercharger network. Dodge says retrofit details for 2026 models will be announced in early 2026. To read more on the Charger’s $10K price hike, check the full story out below.

One state looks to lift speed limits

Arizona Rep. Nick Kupper has visions of Arizona autobahns. The representative authored HB2059, which seeks to remove speed limits for some rural roads during the day, in addition to increasing speed limits at night. The RAPID Act (Reasonable and Prudent Interstate Driving Act) is intended to promote the message of trusting your fellow driver, and Kupper says the idea is based on the successful implementation of similar regulations both in Germany and in Montana. Get all the specifics below.

Ford leaves a $6.5 billion EV deal on the table

Just days after announcing its massive reinvestment in gasoline and hybrid-powered vehicles (and the death of the F-150 Lightning), Ford has further scaled back its EV plans. The company walked away from a $6.5 billion EV battery-supply deal with South Korea’s LG Energy Solution, tearing up a pair of contracts that were supposed to feed European-built Ford EVs well into the next decade. Ford and other automakers continue to walk away from EVs as the regulatory climate shifts in the US. Get all the details below.
