Dodge Just SAVED Internal Combustion Engines

Dodge revolutionizes the Charger, transitioning from iconic Hemi V8 to electrifying performance with a 400 volt, soon-to-be 800 volt Banshee variant, promising muscle power in an EV format. Yet, the legacy of gas-powered glory continues with a turbocharged inline-six, all-wheel drive, embodying American muscle spirit. As Dodge embraces an electric future while honoring combustion excellence, the next-gen Charger redefines muscle car ethos for the modern era, ensuring the legend not only lives but evolves.

For sure. It was already a behemoth. Weighing this much really kills it. Until battery technology advances dramatically so that they don’t have to weigh as much as tanks they will always be inferior to gas vehicles. At the prices they are going to be charging too! Why would anyone want this over a blown mustang which weights 1/3 less or something like a vette that weighs almost half as much? Forget bad track performance, this thing will be hard to even get to turn at slow speed on public roads.

​@@jdproductions6147 True but a $25k increase between generations is still a lot. I get they increased the horspower and replaced the v6 and hemi with the Hurricane but now this car isnt gonna be as acessable anymore to a lot of people. and this could be bad buisness for dodge since they only have two vehicles, the Hornet and Durango (which is also getting replaced soon). so the charger was their cash cow and now they will probably sell less of them due to the price increase. This can also be seen with Truck manufacturers struggling to sell their trucks because they overproduced too many trucks and the high prices are driving customers away.

I'm just glad to see that they're still trying. My whole bit when it comes to powerplants is the sound that comes from an ICE. So, as long as they're able to replicate that and make them look nice, then I'm fine with an EV (sort of...). Whether we like it or not, EVs are coming, and sadly it is very necessary that we make the swap. So I think that this is a step in the right direction as far as keeping the vehicles interesting is concerned - and it doesnt look bad, either.
