You really think it will be a gas guzzler. I'll find out in two weeks when I head to FL. Later RJD

Right now, I'm getting a combined 19.5 mpg.

Well your getting what is advertised for city/highway mileage. So far my driving has been all in town so I figured mine not bad.That's good.Later RJD

Anyone else show up to any meets or shows and have to explain to 75% of the people that it is not the EV? I have had more people then I care to say walk up with my hood open and ask why I got the EV or if that's an engine. I think Dodge has not done enough campaigning for this vehicle. Please don't tell me I am alone in this!

You are correct, Dodge should have been promoting the hell out of the Gas version, but they have not and my guess it is due to the corporate issues of compounding financial losses and trying to save money in the interim.

They can only build so many anyway, aren't they made along with the Pacifica in Windsor? I know they added a shift there last year, but it isn't like they are at their own plant like the previous gen Charger/Challengers were. Adding in the Daytonas like I got didn't affect production, but with the higher volume Sixpack, I assume the plant will be limited at some point, right?

 

[aceinspp145]

Have seen several commercials on the six pack on TV but non on the EVs. They did all there advertising by bringing them to Barrett Jackson Auction in Arizona in Jan. They have the Dodge driving experience its awesome. Later RJD

I was at a light the other day when a young man in a WRX pulled up next to me.
He yelled out "Nice car, I like the new Chargers!"

I said "Well, it's getting mixed reactions. Like "Why doesn't it have a hemi?"
He replied "People have to forward and get on with life!" Lol

Seems every dealer in my area has had the 2 door version since late 2025/early 2026. Now, most have the 4 dr as well.



I'm thinking of having a window sign made up that says "No, It's Not Electric!"

How about license plate NotElect or NoEltric

Or just six pack Later RJD

 

[vrax93]

if we get any aftermarket hood options, etc. should be easier to differentiate.

 

[aceinspp145]

I think what ever you put on they still going to ask if it's EV. I was at a show last week with hood up. Guess what, how you like EV. Da Later RJD

 

[Zaccity81]

I am hoping the CAI from 797 will make it way more obvious with the hood open. But people are people, so who knows. LOL

Nah, people will see the hood scoop and still ask if it's electric. I'll just tell them "yeah, it's to cool my luggage compartment" lmao

"I take my gas engine everywhere I go, just can't leave home without it for some reason".

 

[HiveGuy7]

I sat at a car show with my hood open and listened to two guys argue over my car. Guy 1- "That's the new electric one" Guy 2- "it's a hybrid idiot look at the engine" Me - "the engine is fake it's for display purposes only"

 

[daperry90]

Or just six pack Later RJD

SIXPACK and 6 PACK taken/reserved long time ago. Hopefully not by a beer drinker driving a Miata!

 

[Ares4134]

"the engine is fake it's for display purposes only"

I've mentioned this on a previous thread, but in those guys' defense: it's all the damn plastic! It looks like a fake engine lol
If I ever take mine to a show, the engine cover is coming off. I kinda wish I could set it up with a quick release to pop it off and on whenever I want

My neighbor from around the corner, who knows cars, said he loved my new car but didn't picture me as a guy who would buy an electric car. I explained he was correct and my car was a 550 hp gas engine.

I took mine off after about a month and haven't looked back. It still gets people confused. I blame the Daytona!
