The marketing of the new Dodge Charger has just started in the United States and many are curious to know how American motorists will welcome the first electric muscle car in history. Posterity will have to be the judge of that. After the domestic one, it will be the turn of other markets, including Europe.

Stellantis itself confirmed the arrival of the new Charger in the Old Continent when asked by Carscoops. 'It will be available through importers in Europe, again in the second half of 2025,' the group's people told the US publication.

It is not yet clear with which version the new Dodge Charger will cross the Atlantic, but it is certain that all four variants available in the USA, namely two- and four-door bodies, both with electric motors and with the 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine, will arrive here. It is a wide choice made possible by the adoption of the STLA Large platform, the same one that will also be used by the new Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Giulia.
