Introducing the 2024 Charger EV – Daytona SRT Banshee

The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Banshee is an electric version of the classic Charger. It’s a muscular, sleek coupe with many design elements based on its namesake, the Charger Daytona. In 1970, it was the first vehicle to exceed 200 mph on a NASCAR track. The new Daytona Banshee also has outstanding power.

Dodge’s parent company, Stellantis, introduced the Banshee at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. This vehicle also appeared at the Stellantis Design Cars + Coffee event. Dodge CEO Timothy Kuniskis declared that the “brotherhood of muscle” will be battery-powered in the future.

What’s Different About the Daytona SRT Banshee?

The Daytona SRT Banshee has a long, sculpted functional performance hood, and its low, wide profile gives it a confident look. A thin strip of LED headlights surrounds the black rectangular grille, and an illuminated white triangular Fratzog badge is in the center. Dodge muscle cars from 1962 to 1976 had this badge, and Dodge brought it back to signify the brand’s electrified future and unwavering commitment to performance. There’s also a smaller lower grille, and matching LED taillights.

Simple vertical details on the lower grille add texture and look like the iconic 1968 Dodge Charger. The sculpted sides emphasize the hood and roof, and the wheel fenders have subtle muscular shapes that accentuate the rest of the body. The 2024 Charger Daytona SRT Banshee will be available in Greys of Thunder, an exterior color with deep textures and a high-gloss graphite feel. You can also choose Stryker Red, one of the iconic Dodge Viper’s colors.

Dodge’s patent-pending R-Wing is part of the hood. This unique feature maintains the Dodge Charger’s recognizable, blunt profile while making the 2024 Charger Banshee EV more aerodynamic. The R-Wing lets air flow through the front opening and enhances downforce, combining optimal performance with an unmistakable Dodge look. The carbon-fiber intakes on both sides of the front and rear lower fascias produce an air curtain for even better aerodynamic performance. Several wheel styles are available, and “turbine” 22-inch wheels with a lug design in the center are standard.

What Are the Advantages of the 2024 EV Charger?

The 2024 Charger Banshee EV has a futuristic, modern powertrain and impressive, exciting performance. It looks and drives like a gas-powered muscle car, not a typical EV, and has many appealing features.

An eRupt Multispeed Transmission

The eRupt multispeed transmission system provides an exciting electro-mechanical shifting experience like the Hellcat. Most EVs have one- or two-speed automatic transmissions. The eRupt lets you shift gears manually whenever you feel like it, increasing your engagement while driving.

An STLA Large Platform

This vehicle uses Stellantis’s STLA Large platform. The STLA Large is the base for several new vehicles from Stellantis brands, including Alfa Romeo and Maserati EVs. The platform provides up to 500 miles of electric range and uses Stellantis-designed modular battery packs and electric drive modules (EDMs). The EDMs integrate an electric motor, power electronics, and transmission into one unit to make EVs lighter and more efficient.

The STLA Large platform is a key component of the Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 plan. The company wants to make EVs half of their sales in the United States by the decade’s end. It also wants to become number one in customer satisfaction by 2030. Designers and engineers may adjust the STLA Large platform’s length, width, and powertrain for different Stellantis models.

Plenty of Power

The 2024 Charger EV has a unibody chassis and a flat, high-performance battery with a 100 to 110 kWh capacity. The entry-level Charger 340 produces 455 horsepower and has a 400-volt propulsion system. The midrange 440 is like an electric version of the Scat Pack, giving 590 horsepower.

The Dodge Direct Connection engine tuning kit can provide even more horsepower for either trim level. The top Banshee model will have an 800-volt engine and may come with two motors. Dodge hasn’t revealed the horsepower yet, but the company promises that the Banshee will have better performance metrics than the gas-powered Hellcat. It will likely reach 60 mph in less than 3 seconds. You can activate the PowerShot push-to-pass feature with a button on the steering wheel. It provides a quick burst of acceleration for even more power when needed.

Recent Changes and Updates

The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Banshee received its name partly for its loud wail. Even though it has a quiet electric engine, it uses a Fratzonic chambered exhaust system with complex pipes and electronics to produce a distinctive 126-decibel noise. It’s the first exhaust system for an EV.

After some complained that it didn’t sound enough like a gas-powered muscle car, Dodge updated the engine noise. It now resembles the SRT Hellcat’s iconic roar. After a sensor detects an increase in the propulsion rates of the electric motors, the exhaust system changes the volume and tone of the sound it produces. The Banshee also has a new all-wheel-drive system. The previous Hellcat-powered Chargers used rear-wheel drive as their only powertrain option.

How Much is a Used Daytona Charger SRT Banshee?

Dodge hasn’t revealed the MSRP of the Banshee yet, but it will probably be high. The MSRP of the 2023 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Jailbreak is $84,650, and the 2024 Banshee could cost even more. For lower Charger EV trim levels, expect to pay around $50,000. The cost goes down for a used Daytona Charger but varies depending on condition.
