Dodge’s New Police Charger Skips Electric Power, Leaving Enthusiasts Uncertain

Dodge’s latest police‑grade Charger has been revealed as a conventional internal‑combustion vehicle, a move that has surprised both the brand’s loyal Mopar community and industry observers. While the company had previously teased a 670‑horsepower electric Charger, the Mopar faithful have expressed skepticism about a battery‑powered model. Likewise, the 550‑horsepower Sixpack variant, driven by turbochargers, has also faced resistance from those who favor the brand’s traditional powertrain heritage. In a last‑ditch effort to attract buyers, Dodge executives are hoping that the new Charger’s performance and styling will appeal to law‑enforcement agencies and consumers alike, even without an electric option. The decision underscores the tension between legacy performance expectations and the growing push for electrification in police fleets.
