The 2025 Dodge Charger would likely be coming within the same timeline of the year: 2025.

However, it seems that Dodge is having a rough time keeping up with the 2025 Dodge Charger production, so it’s not completely clear whether they can keep up with their schedules or not.

Muscle cars are experiencing a huge transformation with the electrification. Ford has moved on with their Mustang. Although it seems that they are having a bit delay, they are on their path and they are definitely moving on.

What about Dodge? The company has officially announced that they would stop making the Challenger and Charger, which are the regular ICE (Internal Combustion) version, after they launched the 2023 model. It doesn’t mean that they are going to wipe off the nameplate from their production entirely. It’s just they are going to ‘electrify’ those two models so that they can keep up with the strict emission regulations and make those vehicles more eco-friendly.

For that matter, they are going to produce the electrified version of the eMuscle with their Challenger and Charger. Dodge has set a plan to make the electric model ready in 2024 as the replacement. However, some sources said that the timeline may have changed. The production is highly likely being delayed.

The 2025 Dodge Charger New Timeline

Initially, the Dodge EV projects should start production in 2024. However, if the plan is delayed, then it’s most likely starting in February in 2025. The regular Challenger and Charger have been constructed in Brampton, Ontario, where the Stellantis manufacturing plant is located. However, for the EV production, it seems that manufacturing process will be moved to Windsor because the (manufacturing) plant there supports STLA Large platform. If the rumor about manufacturing spot being moved to Windsor, it means that the Brampton’s plant would have available space to build another EV.

What would the new 2025 Dodge Charger look like? Back then in August 2022, Dodge has shown a preview concept of the suspected Charger Daytona SRT with its two door layout.

It is said to have similar loudness as the Hellcat. It also comes with eRupt (multispeed) transmission, delivering pure Dodge’s electromechanical shifting experience.
