It doesn't say that's happening anytime soon, just that the Charger and Challenger will move to smaller platforms - something that we all thought would have happened by now but sales have been high as is. They will still remain gas powered. For the time being anyway.


Think again.

This writer is speculating and i think wrong. A bit of googling shows he's an EV guy.

"Dodge will cease production of its gas-powered Charger sedan and Challenger coupe in 2024 in order to make way for the automaker’s first electric vehicles. " No - They stated they will change the platform those cars are based on, not that they will be EV only. They will offer their first EV then, a separate vehicle.

Then he writes: "Dodge had previously announced its intention to produce its first EV in 2024 during a July event covering electric vehicle strategy by the automaker’s parent company, Stellantis. During the event, Kuniskis proclaimed that Dodge would not “sell electric cars — it will sell eMuscle,” which is apparently Dodge branding for its future EVs. The first eMuscle cars will go into production in 2024. " Its first EV, not all being EVs.

Then its "At the time, Kuniskis didn’t reveal the fate of the company’s internal combustion engine vehicles. Now we know that they will be phased out as the company shifts resources over to EV production. “These cars that you know today will go out of production by the time we get to 2024,” Kuniskis told Motor Trend. " No - that's not what he said. He said they are changing platforms. Yes - the current Chargers and Challengers won't be available as they are now because of the different platforms. Maybe there will be EV versions but he never said they will ALL be EV.

Exactly what the Motortrend piece wrote:

"There also will be gas-powered buzz vehicles for enthusiasts in the lead-up to 2024 when the first EV will hit the road, but Dodge will stop production of its current pair of high-octane muscle cars—the Challenger coupe and Charger sedan—in two years and replace them with new cars on new platforms."

New cars on new platforms. And an EV also. Maybe no more hellcats, I don't know but certainly still gas vehicles in 2024.
