Here's When Dodge's Electric Muscle Car Will Be Revealed

Of all the mainstream automakers out there, Dodge is perhaps more closely associated with power and noise - and not zero-emissions motoring - than any other. Even a base Durango SUV makes close to 300 horsepower. But Dodge will inevitably go electric like every other brand and that applies to its lineup of muscle cars as well. In July last year, Dodge confirmed that abattery-electric muscle car would arrive in 2024, and Stellantis has big plans forEV battery productionin North America. But wherever it's built, will the electric muscle car be able to match a currentChallenger SRT Hellcat? We should have a clearer idea soon as we now know when this car will debut.

According toThe Detroit News, Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis hopes to show a concept version of the all-electric muscle car before the reveal of theplug-in hybrid Hornet SUVin August. That means we could possibly see the new muscle car as early as July. Specifics were not divulged by Kuniskis although he did say that the brand initially planned to show the muscle car concept in the first quarter of this year. That timeline was derailed, said Kuniskis, by something that is "outside of my control, it's outside our industry, quite frankly." It's possible that he was referring to continued supply chain delays facing the industry as a whole.
