Dodge knows it’s facing an uphill battle getting people interested in the new Charger EV models. After all, its traditional customer base is angry about the ditching of the Hemi V8 and with it the death of the Hellcats. On the other hand, many electric car shoppers perceive Dodge as a brand for brutish knuckle draggers.
The Hellcat apparently isn’t dead after all.
That might be why Dodge is offering some big deals for consumers to lease the Charger Daytona, that’s the all-electric version. You might think a lease would cost you several hundred a month, but depending on where you live, it could be less.
For example, if you live in the northeastern United States, you could land a lease deal for as little as $299 a month. That might sound too good to be true for some people, so yes, there is a catch.
Not only do you have to reside no further south than Viriginia, you have to plunk down $4,579 upon signing the lease. Depending on how you view things and your current situation, that might seem like a reasonable amount or it’s a deal breaker.
That lease deal also comes with a mileage limit of 7,000 a year. But with what a pain it is to take EVs out on the open road, that might be doable.
There’s also a $399 a month Sat Pack lease deal for the northeast. But in the southwestern US we found you can lease one for $419 a month with $4,119 down.
Factored into these lease payment deals is the federal $7,500 EV incentive payment. Considering there’s been talk of President Trump doing away with that program, the deals might not be as sweet later.
Just like with any major purchase, we would shop around before committing to anything. But we know some will jump at the chance to have the shiny new toy before anyone else in the neighborhood does.
