Dodge CEO Matt Macaler has confirmed this but we have already confirmed it. The American car maker is leaning back in combustion cars, and a Hemi V-8 charger is far behind on the table.
Although McLear did not clearly made the V-8 return reform in the charger, it was reinforced. When asked during a press conference whether the engine would fit a Helcate V-8 in the bay, McIlier just replied, “Don’t surprise if it will fit.”
The statement represents a change in messaging from the Dodge. Representative of this brand had previously told Yolopank In 2024, the hemi -engine cannot fit physically inside the bay. As it turns out, it was not completely accurate.
“This is the beauty of this platform.” Some can say that we are lucky, some can say that we are smart. We did not commit a technology, a power train. Many went to this platform to develop over time and be flexible with consumer demand and regulatory changes. “
With the Trump administration eliminating all EPA regulation and implementation, automatic makers are restrained to return to gas -powered engines without fear of any penalty. Dodge’s sister brand Ram has already taken this step, which has announced his return to Hemi’s 1500 pickup truck.
“With the change in the administration, it is no secret that we are right now in the preparation of ice,” said McLeer. “But we are not getting away from the battery electric power, performance and enthusiasm.”
Although Dodge has not indicated any plan to leave the Charger Dathana EV, the bad sales have forced the brand to accelerate the development of a straight -packed charger. The car, which was actually sold in 2026, will now target dealers starting in the fourth quarter of this year. It will also be 10 grandson cheap from the EV, which is the initial price, 51,990.
It is unclear how much the V-8 charger will cost, though considering the V-8 in 2026 RAM 1500 is only $ 1,200 option, we are not expecting a major Delta. As far as the Hemi -powered charger can reach us, we are suspected soon. Stelon’s executive has seen Hemi Ram’s demand for bursting, so he would probably want to take advantage of it in other sectors of business. Expect an official announcement before the end of the year.
