The new Dodge Charger Daytona, the world’s first electric muscle car, is preparing for its official market debut. However, Dodge will need to continue offering the qualities that enthusiasts have appreciated over the years, including power and affordability. With the transition to electric cars, the first point might be guaranteed, but not the second. It’s well known that currently, electric cars cost more than their combustion engine counterparts. According to information leaked on the web, the prices of the electric versions will be very high.
