2026 Dodge Charger Daytona EV Scat Pack Plus: Manahawkin Buyers Guide

The upgrade is what you sit in, not what you drive

It's worth saying plainly, because it trips up shoppers cross-shopping trims: Scat Pack Plus does not make more power than the standard Scat Pack. Both trims run the same 630-hp dual-motor system, the same 670-hp Power Shot mode, the same 3.3-second 0-60, the same all-wheel drive. What the roughly $5,000 premium buys is the daily-driving stuff. The 18-speaker Alpine audio system replaces the standard nine-speaker setup with real depth and clarity, useful whether you're running the Fratzonic exhaust note up or listening to something quieter. The wireless charging pad means one less cable in the console. The 64-color ambient lighting, Attitude Adjustment in Dodge's naming, lets you set the cabin mood, and the proximity wake-up sequence lights the car up as you approach with the key in your pocket, a small touch that reads as premium every single time.

An available head-up display projects speed and navigation cues onto the windshield, worth considering if you do a lot of highway miles on the Parkway or the Beltway and want your eyes up. None of these are performance upgrades in the traditional sense, but they're the difference between a car that's fast and a car that feels finished.

Configuring the rest

Scat Pack Plus can still be optioned with the same Track Pack available on the standard Scat Pack, competition suspension and staggered summer performance tires, which trades EPA range down from the standard 267 miles to roughly 223 in exchange for grip built for a track day, not a commute. Two-door or four-door is a straightforward call: the four-door adds about $2,000 to either trim and buys back-seat and cargo practicality that a family cross-shopping an electric muscle car will likely want. Either body style carries the same 22.8 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats.

What buyers say

The dealership's Google reviews sit at 4.7 stars across more than 2,100 ratings, and buyers describe an ordering and delivery process that suits a car worth waiting for correctly. Mike Simeone's review: "Jim Pluchino was in constant contact through the whole process and kept me up to date on the status of my Charger order until the day I walked out with the keys. Never had a car buying process go this easy and would definitely recommend to anyone in the area looking for a new Dodge or Jeep." That kind of communication matters more on a car you're speccing to a specific build than on one picked off the lot.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the 2026 Charger Daytona EV Scat Pack Plus cost?

$64,990 MSRP for the two-door, $66,990 for the four-door, before the $1,995 destination charge and New Jersey's 6.625% sales tax. The pricing & leasing guide covers the full breakdown.

Is Scat Pack Plus faster than the standard Scat Pack?

No, they share the identical 630-hp/670-hp powertrain and 3.3-second 0-60. Scat Pack Plus is a comfort and technology trim, not a performance one.

What does Scat Pack Plus actually add?

An 18-speaker Alpine audio system, wireless phone charging, 64-color interior ambient lighting, proximity welcome lighting, and an available head-up display, on top of everything standard on Scat Pack.

Is the extra cost worth it?

It depends on how much you value the cabin experience day to day. If a premium stereo, wireless charging, and lighting matter to your daily drive, the roughly $5,000 gap is a reasonable trade; if not, the standard Scat Pack delivers the identical driving experience for less.

Where can I see a Scat Pack Plus near LBI?

At Manahawkin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram on Route 72, the last CDJR store before the causeway. Ask to compare it directly against a standard Scat Pack to feel the difference for yourself.

The bottom line

Scat Pack Plus is what you buy when the base Scat Pack's power already convinced you and you just want the cabin to match. Same 630 horsepower, same all-wheel-drive grip, better speakers, and a nicer place to sit while you enjoy both.
