Dodge Charger Daytona: Europe's First Electric Muscle Car Needs a Charging Adapter

The European Dodge Charger Daytona in top Scat Pack trim produces up to 670 hp, comes with all-wheel drive, and sprints to 96 km/h (60 mph) in 3.3 seconds. But plugging the brand’s first electric muscle car into local stations will require an adapter: officially imported cars keep the American CCS1 connector, while Europe runs on the CCS2 standard.

Orders are already open through importer KWA. The Daytona R/T makes 536 hp, the Scat Pack 670 hp. Both versions get a 100.5 kWh battery, a 400-volt architecture, and one electric motor per axle. First deliveries are set for September 2026. The full Charger lineup, including the gas-powered Sixpack, starts at €66,000, though Dodge hasn’t named separate pricing for the electric versions.

There’s a discrepancy worth noting. The press release states a 20–80% charge takes around 27 minutes at a peak 183 kW. The European importer’s own documentation lists up to 180 kW and roughly 40 minutes in a typical road scenario. On top of that, the adapter isn’t only needed for fast DC charging — it’s also required to connect to European AC stations.

Cars bought through the official network get an eight-year, 160,000 km battery warranty. Unofficially imported US units get no European warranty coverage at all — service stays tied to North America. That makes the official channel worth more than whatever savings a grey import might offer.

According to 32CARS.RU, the model’s public debut in Munich and Dodge’s attempt to gain a foothold in Europe’s premium segment were covered earlier. The Daytona does bring a genuinely unusual 670 hp to Europe, but everyday ownership will be defined less by the acceleration figures and more by the CCS1–CCS2 adapter and a real-world 30–40 minutes at the charger.
