    Here is a detailed "first drive" review of the new $85K Charger Scat Pack EV by MoparInsiders.

    Some comments about its performance were:

    "A light touch on the throttle reveals the magic of instant torque. The Scat Pack’s acceleration is ferocious, easily pinning me to the seat with more immediacy than even a stock HELLCAT could muster in Track Mode. Switching to Drag Mode unleashes the full potential of the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, which roars to its loudest, most aggressive tone. In this mode, the car launches with a force that feels comparable to a Jeep® Grand Cherokee Trackhawk—squatting at the rear as it propels forward with AWD and torque vectoring providing absolute control.

    What surprised me most is how seamlessly this EV balances raw performance and practicality. While some critics might lament its comparisons to lighter, smaller competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq N, this Charger Daytona Scat Pack offers an entirely different experience. It doesn’t just outclass the Ioniq N in power and presence—it also provides comfort for four full-size adults, all while delivering a stylish ride that turns heads. For me, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack proved that an electric muscle car can dominate the streets with the perfect mix of brute force, agility, and everyday usability."

    Here is the new Fratzonic chambered exhaust sound for the new Daytona Scat Pack. Cool or lame?

    The dodge dealers in my area cannot keep any techs now. I can hear the service advisor now at the stealer ship as soon as you have a problem, (cannot replicate the problem) same broken record. who is going to work on this battery-operated thing? I am still not a fan. IMO

    True, try and find qualified EV techs, when you can't even find them for ICE. Carlos is gone, the Hemi is coming back, put this in the history book along with the K car.

    So much for Elon is going to force EVs on us. LOL
    It's better for him, since his cars or buyers aren't cheap enough to qualify for the credit any ways.
    Besides why should we have to subsidize the choice of others vehicle, I never get a credit when I bought my car?
