How is the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Powered?
The lineup of 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona models features the R/T and Scat Pack trim levels. These two trims feature the same powertrain with different output levels. The 2024 Charger Daytona powertrain features one electric drive module (EDM) on each axle, providing all-wheel drive traction. These EDMs a 3-in-1 structure, including an inverter, gearbox, and motor. The rear EDM is also equipped with a limited-slip differential for optimal traction and performance. Meanwhile, the front EDM features wheel-end disconnect, which cuts power to the front wheels while road conditions are smooth and dry. The EDMs are powered by a 100.5-kilowatt-hour battery pack. The 550 kilowatts that the battery pack provides is more power-per-gram than most EV batteries, unlocking more power and performance. In addition to the confidence of all-wheel drive, the electric motors provide instantaneous torque for lightning-fast acceleration.
2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Power in Numbers
Dodge knew that the incorporation of electric power couldn't come at the expense of the brand's legendary performance. The powertrain mentioned above achieved the goal of providing the muscle car power with none of the emissions. As was stated above, the Charger Daytona comes with the R/T and Scat Pack trim levels. The EDMs alone provide the Charger Daytona models with 335 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. In 2024, however, the Charger Daytona R/T comes with a Stage 1 kit from Dodge Direct Connection, which optimizes the powertrain for up to 496 horsepower. Meanwhile, the Scat Pack is upgraded to a Direct Connection Stage 2 kit, featuring a heart-pounding 670 horsepower. With this power, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack unleashes an 11.5-second quarter-mile run time and a 3.3-second 0-60 MPH time! This is thanks to the instantaneous torque provided by electric power. Electric vehicles offer instant torque because electrons are constantly flowing, while with an internal combustion engine, RPMs must build before the maximum torque output can be reached.
What Drive Modes Does the Dodge Charger Daytona Have?
Like other all-electric vehicles, the Dodge Charger Daytona features drive modes to maximize either performance or driving range. In the Charger Daytona, these modes include Auto, Eco, Sport, and Wet/Snow. Auto mode is the default, automatically optimizing the vehicle's functions by reading the road conditions and making the necessary adjustments. Meanwhile, eco mode optimizes regenerative braking and limits power output to reserve battery power. Meanwhile, Sport mode allows for higher transmission shift points and greater power output for maximum performance. Finally, when Wet/Snow is selected, traction is prioritized by managing the torque split and power output. In addition to these modes, the high-performance Charger Daytona Scat Pack features its own set of drive modes, including Track, Drag, Donut, and Drift. Track mode maximizes performance on smooth, dry track surfaces. Meanwhile, selecting Drag mode optimizes the powertrain for maximum straight-line acceleration and lightning-fast launch times. Donut mode allows drivers to perform donuts by allowing the rear wheels to circle around the front wheels without intervention from the traction control system. Finally, Drift mode allows you to stay in control while drifting around corners by managing the slip angle, creating a rear axle-bias torque split, and softening the front suspension dampers while stiffening the rears to enable an oversteer condition. Simultaneously, the traction control system allows the wheels to spin at different speeds without triggering a traction control fault code.
