Video Summary

Here is the summary of the electric car review:
- This Dodge Charger Daytona is a muscle car first and an EV second.
- It has a hulking presence, is obnoxiously loud, outrageously powerful, and absurdly quick.
- It can't do burnouts despite making 670 horsepower and 628 pound-feet of torque, because its single-speed transmission and grippy tires don't let it break the tires free.
- All its output is split equally front and rear.
- Pedal overlap is not liked in the vehicle.
- Quarter-mile time is 11.47 seconds at 119.5 mph.
- The chassis is good and better handling than its predecessor.
- This EV was designed to handle the most powerful versions Dodge makes.
- The battery makes the car 50% stiffer.
- With staggered tires, it has the right amount of grip.
- The interiors are cavernous.
- Two digital screens and capacitive climate controls that give haptic feedback are featured in the vehicle.
- The EPA-estimated range for the Scat Pack is 241 miles.
- The 100.5 kWh battery charges from 5 to 80% in 32.5 minutes.
- The sounds originate from speakers powered by a dedicated 600-watt amp.
- This 3-ton, 2-door car starts at $61,590.
