The 2025 Dodge Charger represents a revolutionary shift for the iconic American muscle car, transitioning from its traditional V8 gasoline engines to a fully electric powertrain. This all-electric sedan maintains the Charger's aggressive styling and performance heritage while offering zero-emission driving. Target buyers include performance enthusiasts seeking sustainable power, tech-savvy drivers wanting cutting-edge features, and traditional Dodge fans ready to embrace electric mobility. The vehicle features advanced driver assistance systems, premium interior appointments, and impressive electric range capabilities. Early reliability indicators suggest strong build quality typical of modern electric vehicles, though long-term data is still developing. The 2025 Charger appeals to buyers who want the excitement of American muscle car culture combined with the efficiency and environmental benefits of electric propulsion, making it ideal for both daily commuting and weekend performance driving.
Some early models may experience coolant leaks or pump failures in the high voltage battery cooling system. This can trigger warning lights and potentially limit performance or charging capabilities. The sophisticated thermal management system requires specialized service.
The electric charging port door may occasionally fail to open or close properly due to actuator issues or software glitches. This can prevent charging access and requires recalibration or component replacement.
Over-the-air software updates may sometimes fail to install properly, causing system glitches or reduced functionality. The complex Uconnect infotainment system occasionally requires dealer intervention for updates.
Some drivers report inconsistent regenerative braking feel or occasional system unavailability warnings. This typically resolves with software calibration but may require system inspection.
Occasional reports of overly sensitive or inconsistent power steering response, particularly at low speeds. Usually addressed through software updates or sensor recalibration.

The 2025 Dodge Charger electric range varies by trim level, typically offering between 250-400 miles on a full charge depending on configuration, driving conditions, and selected drive mode. Range can be affected by climate control use, driving style, and terrain.
Charging time depends on the power source: Level 1 (120V household outlet) takes 24+ hours for full charge, Level 2 (240V) takes 6-8 hours, and DC fast charging can reach 80% capacity in approximately 30-45 minutes with compatible charging stations.
Yes, the 2025 Charger features multiple drive modes including Sport mode for enhanced performance, along with Track mode on higher trims. These modes adjust throttle response, suspension settings, and regenerative braking to optimize driving dynamics.
Yes, the 2025 Charger includes Remote Climate Control activation via key fob, allowing you to pre-condition the cabin temperature remotely. This feature can run for up to 15 minutes and works up to 328 feet away from the vehicle.
The 12V auxiliary battery powers vehicle electronics and door systems. If it fails, you can use manual door release procedures detailed in the owner's manual. The vehicle includes jump-start capability and the 12V battery should be replaced every 3-4 years.
The high voltage battery requires minimal maintenance but benefits from regular charging (avoid letting it fully deplete), keeping it between 20-80% charge for daily use, and following the scheduled coolant service intervals. Extreme temperatures should be avoided when possible.
The 2025 Charger uses the standard CCS (Combined Charging System) connector, making it compatible with most public charging networks in North America. Always verify charging station compatibility and power output before use.
The 2025 Charger typically includes a comprehensive vehicle warranty plus an extended high voltage battery warranty (usually 8 years/100,000 miles). Specific warranty terms vary by region and should be confirmed with your dealer.
Towing capability depends on the specific trim level and configuration. Check your owner's manual for exact towing capacity specifications. Electric vehicles generally have different towing characteristics than traditional vehicles due to increased weight and power delivery.
Many system issues can be resolved by performing a soft reset: hold the start button for 10+ seconds with the vehicle off. For more serious issues, the Enhanced Accident Response System includes reset procedures, or contact an authorized dealer for diagnostic service.
