A <strong>100.5-kwh (93.5-kwh usable) battery<\/strong> pack provides up to <strong>317 miles of range<\/strong> in civilian models, and a peak DC fast-charge rate of 183 kw allows for a 20-80% charge in about 28 minutes. Less relevant to law enforcement is the Fratzonic exhaust system that simulates the noise and vibration of the now-defunct V-8 engine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\" readability=\"7\"><img decoding=\"async\" name=\"tccimg_100920620_m\" title=\"2024 Dodge Charger Daytona\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD\/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=\" alt=\"2024 Dodge Charger Daytona\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-width=\"1024\" data-height=\"576\" data-url=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/2024-dodge-charger_100920620_l.webp\" data-src-h=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/hug\/2024-dodge-charger_100920620_h.webp\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/2024-dodge-charger_100920620_l.webp\" data-src-l=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/lrg\/2024-dodge-charger_100920620_l.webp\" data-src-m=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/med\/2024-dodge-charger_100920620_m.webp\" data-src-s=\"https:\/\/images.hgmsites.net\/sml\/2024-dodge-charger_100920620_s.webp\" class=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>2024 Dodge Charger Daytona<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>This would be the <strong>first all-electric police car<\/strong> offered by Stellantis in the U.S., but other EVs such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greencarreports.com\/news\/1136655_ford-f-150-lightning-pro-ssv-electric-police-truck-save-money\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ford F-150 Lightning<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greencarreports.com\/news\/1136548_chevy-blazer-ev-police-pursuit-vehicle-confirmed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chevrolet Blazer EV<\/a> have already been converted for law enforcement work.
