The electric Dodge Charger SRT is set to replace the brand\u2019s V8 muscle cars in 2024, and now we know exactly how powerful it will be and how powerful it can be.<\/p>\n
The Charger Daytona SRT will be available in three trim levels, starting with the 340 and 440, which denote how much power they have in kilowatts and coincidentally pay homage to the classic Dodge 340 and 440 cubic-inch V8s of yesteryear.<\/p>\n
The 340 kw and 440 kw power outputs are equivalent to 455 hp and 590 hp, but owners will be able to upgrade their cars like good old-fashioned hot rods. Well, maybe not that old-fashioned.<\/p>\n

The current naturally aspirated V8 lineup offered in the Dodge Challenger and Charger consists of the 370 hp 5.7-liter V8 and 485 hp 6.4-liter V8, making most of the electric options more powerful than both.<\/p>\n
