Dodge Presents its Electric Muscle Car, the Charger Daytona SRT concept

It's been a big week at Dodge as the announcements keep coming as part of Dodge Speed Week in Michigan. After confirming a Challenger convertible for 2023 and unveiling the new Hornet SUV, the company has now presented, in concept form, its first electric muscle car.
