I'll explain since you're too lazy to look it up yourself. Dodge in the rest of the parent company was selling too many v8s and they did not get into the EV market in time. So because of it they were getting fined millions upon millions of dollars which would have made them go out of business... So to not pay the fines they had to get rid of their v8s... The reason why Ford still is able to sell V8 vehicles is because they jumped on the EV market early. They started selling that Ford Mustang SUV EV years ago. Also, the Ford F-150 EV came out years ago and they have both been selling well. They're not selling great but they both been selling pretty well and because of that Ford doesn't have to pay the fine... Dodge in their parent company had their heads in the sand and wasn't paying attention to what was going on.. everyone else jumped up and made some type of EV just to make it... In my opinion and I could be wrong, they probably should have made the hornet their first EV. It didn't sell well anyway.. and if they would have done that they would have been able to keep the v8s alive

Low volume manufacturers such as exotic ones were given exemptions from CAFE standards. A company like Ford being able to continue the V-8 Mustang is because they have the Mustang Mach-e that people complain about. Plus the Lightning and numerous hybrids. Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram have had no EVs and only a couple of hybrids and therefore fined tons of wasted cash.
@@YattirSmith There's no such thing as 'too many v8s'. There is no force of nature that prevents V8's from being made. What happened is that they have been brainwashed, like most of us, into utter stupidity and so they are destroying themselves.
I could have sworn,I heard them say,the exhaust sound would mimic, the transmission shift (n wide open throttle),this is just bad,sounds like ur driving in one gear the whole ride,I'd rather not hear nothing if thats that case.
I get it, replacing a great sounding engine with an electric motor isn't what anyone wants. At the same time though, being able to hear the car at all is a safety issue for pedestrians, especially blind people. If you can't see the car coming, you need to be able to hear it.
Can’t wait til we do nascar with electric cars In America where they have you put headphones on to play the noises the cars traditionally would have made. 🤦🏽♂️😭😂
@@VehicleVirgins I completely understand if people want to have an electric vehicle. Like ok fine cool man. But when dealers, the government forces you to buy electric or you're a bad person then you run into issues. Deep down we all know why we just don't admit it.
The right couple TH-camrs will get a hold of them trust me they won't be sitting on Lots they'll be $20,000 limited availability add-ons for them and people will pay it all it takes is for those right couple dumbass TH-cam and tiktokers start making videos in it and watch the prices climb
Talking about how it looks I can say without any kind of doubt that i love it, the only problem is that powertrain. I would buy it and replace batteries with an Hellephant engine under the hood. What a beast it would be.
The biggest problem with EV is there is no soul and no one wants to hear the electric motor whine when they have a muscle car. I'm not a car guy, but I can certainly appreciate a muscle car and why people like them. You won't see a masculine man drive one of these. This isn't going to sell and I'm glad.
The idea that masculinity can be measured by power train is absurd. I would rather say masculinity can be measured by raw power, horse power, and torque. Not noise and power train.
@@nottoogoo Thats what I mean by not having a 'soul', some say 'personality' in the end, EV are boring. Imagine going to a movie with the audio turned off and reading subtitles. Thats what an EV equivalent is.
Stellantis has always been behind the times. Nobody’s buying electric cars right now, and they’re killing the Charger/Hellcat name with an electric. Fail.
@@QuinnHughes-fj9dgwas last year oddly this year is a Corolla I guess because of the gr don’t get me wrong the Corolla is a great car lol 😂 just wasn’t expecting that but yeah people are starting to move back to gas powered cars nobody really doesn’t want evs from other car makers but Tesla honestly which to be fair I mean they’re the best in the ev game
As a non muscle car fan, it’s interesting they really gave it a shot… it gives video game vibes which might not be a bad thing. Like it is electric after all and should be quick off the line. But it obviously has a dodge badge which is unique
How can ford still make a v8 but not dodge? If it is emissions why is one omitted from the other? And they still have it in the upper trim trackhawk. Also almost 6 tons wtf.
Seems like no one commentatng understands CAFE. In short, a company isn't rated by each model individually. Hint: Ford's lineup vs Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram lineup.
I just hate that they couldn’t give the updated interiors to the previous generation. They could’ve literally printed money and justify Charging $55k+ for scats and hellcats.
I like that his average speed is twice over the speed limit for that section of the road, but tries to somewhat match the 25mph when he sees it, haha. I still hope that one day we'll have maximum speed limit that reflect today cars capabilities, adding a recommended speed if necessary (which in reality is what the current maximum speed limit has become).
I cant believe Dodge out of all brands would be making something like this knowing their consumer base is the literal opposite of EV buyers, I truly am perplexed at the mindset any of the people making these decisions for Dodge have.
My entire Durango rocks when I start it. You will never replicate that with an EV. At least we still have the Twin Turbo Inline 6 one. I guess that's better than nothing.
I like the Charger Daytona, I really do, maybe people hate it because is the “current Charger you can buy”, instead of the Six-Pack, which would make more sense?, yes… But remember, there was a person who kept the Charger from being an actual Muscle Car, and that was Carlos Tavares… Also, there are worse things to worry rather than it being an EV, like: - Infotainment Bugs & Errors. - Throttle Reaponse Delayed. - Launch Control That Still Feels Slower. - Driving Mode “Auto” shouldn’t be the “best” instead of “track”, doesn’t make sense at all.
This isnt that bad actually, I love the way it looks. I still love the dodge demon 170 all day everyday. But no hate for this car too, just needs some sound, weight, and power improvements!
Imagine how often you will be replacing suspension components and tires on a nearly 6000 pound car. And if that thing rolls over, how strong is that roof to hold all that weight. And when the struts go on that giant rear hatch, good luck..
With how heavy the car is it isn’t going to roll since most of the weight is from the battery which will be below the floor which gives it a more center of gravity since it’s underneath the floor
Vehicle Virgins Awesome Video I think that 2025 Charger RT and Daytona Scatpack are pretty cool although I definitely agree that they would be better if they had Gas Powered Engines
dont like touchscreens but if your going to use them atleast integrate them into the dash, they just slop them on wherever on the dash to ensure they can use them on every model they make
The R- wing front spoiler is pretty cool. If used on a rear engine car with a front radiator. It could serve a dual purpose of creating down force on the end. Plus directing sir into the radiator vents.....I remember the early 80s Lamborghini used a front spoiler wing along with a rear. That were both looks only & actually hindered performance. But got me thinking about using 2 (front & rear) interactive spoilers. To help with braking & down force. Instead of just a front splitter for down force.
They should have made one with an updated hellcat v8 rwd, and then an all-electric awd. They'll both have their markets, but what they actually gave us is insulting!
The only variant that might be mildly interesting is the Banshee or whatever it’s going to be called. If the 0-60 is over 2.5 seconds and 60-130 is over 6 seconds, it’s pretty slow.
What will it do flat out?? you went around a track i think i saw 100 one time but people want to see it maxed so when the 6 cyl comes out we can compare them.
Can’t wait until someone puts an actual Hellcat engine in it lol
that would be incredible
It looks like it has enough space for it
@@VehicleVirgins you gotta review that if it happens
It looks amazing there’s no doubt about that. It just needs a true V8

Yea it's just not good. I do t hear shifts, it doesn't sound loud, it's somehow numb, muted, and drone-y at the same time.

Glad im not the only one who can see through that BS
It's about time automakers get the message, we're tired of them shoving these shitty, soulless EVs down our throats.
I'm confused on this as well. How come BMW can make a twin turbo v8 hybrid M5 but Dodge "has" to go electric
Dodge was too slow on making an electric vehicle to offset its emissions vs bmw, Chevy and even ford who all had hybrid/evs since 2010s.

0:45. The closest a computer can get to a V8, which is not very close
If there were no rollbacks on regulations I’d say in 5-10 EVs would totally match the sound and feel of a V8.
