All-electric Dodge Charger arrives with Fratzonic exhaust system

ABU DHABI: The all-electric Dodge Charger has finally arrived, and its aggressive sound has been revealed. Dodge recently shared a video on its Instagram handle where you can hear the aggressive roar for yourself. It is unbelievable that the roar is coming from an electric vehicle.

The Charger EV boasts the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust which is a custom system with a 600-watt amplifier. The exhaust has been integrated into the vehicle’s rear lower fascia. This system adjusts volume and sound based on power functions, acceleration, and deceleration. It revs like a traditional ICE car and generates an aggressive noise when the horsepower is boosted by 40 with the help of the "PowerShot" function for 15 seconds.

Dodge has announced the Charger EV’s pricing: the 670bhp 'Scat Pack' is priced at $73,190 (AED 268,693), and the 496bhp 'R/T' is available at approximately $59,595 (AED 218,138). Both models utilize the new ‘STLA Large’ chassis with dual 250kW electric modules for next-level performance.

The Scat Pack comes with a "Track Package" with adaptive dampers, Brembo brakes, a data logger, and upgraded seats. It takes around 3.3 seconds to accelerate to 60 mph. It reaches 137 mph and in 11.5 seconds runs a quarter-mile.

For the Charger EV, Dodge offers tech and luxury optional packages, including the $4,995 (AED 18,357) Plus Group with premium trim, larger wheels for the R/T, and a 360-degree camera. The $2,495 (AED 9,163) Sun and Sound Package comes with an Alpine sound system and glass roof. 

The two-door Charger’s production will start soon, with four-door Daytona models scheduled for launch early next year. The gasoline Charger with a new twin-turbo engine will be launched in late 2025.

Since the concept stage, the sound has been refined, and while we are not sure if it will match the initial volume claims, Dodge has promised that the production model will be able to achieve “Hellcat levels of sound intensity.”
