The Dodge Charger Daytona EV will live up to its name as “the world's first and only electric vehicle” as it enters new markets outside of North America. Dodge's new electric charger is officially headed overseas as the company looks for a bigger share of the global market.
When will Dodge launch the new Charger EV overseas?
In March, Dodge finally took the sheets off the all-electric Daytona EV, which it claims is the “world's fastest and most powerful muscle car.” Well, the Electric Charger is now going to get its chance to prove it.
Muscle car fans in markets outside of North America will soon be able to purchase the new Dodge Charger EV. Dodge manufacturer Stellantis confirmed that CarScoops that Charger Electric will launch in foreign markets from next year.
“The Dodge Charger will go on sale in the Middle East from the second half of 2025,” the spokesperson said. They added, “It will be available to importers in European countries,” which will also start late next year.
Dodge will launch its full Charger lineup overseas, including EV and gas-powered models. The car will also be available with two and four doors. However, we still don't know which powertrain will come first.
In the US, the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona EV is available in two options. Dodge opened orders for the base R/T model in August, starting at $59,995.

Dodge will follow up the EV model with two gas-powered models, a coupe and a sedan, which will hit stores next year.
