Electric Dodge Charger Vanishes From Canadian Lineup

Dodge’s Canadian website now sells the Charger the way a 2015 enthusiast would have wanted: six cylinders, two turbos, and nothing that plugs in. The electric Charger Daytona is no longer anywhere in the lineup.

The Dodge.ca lineup shows two models in the Vehicles menu, the 2026 Charger and the 2026 Durango. The page’s meta description still mentions “Charger Daytona,” which looks like a leftover tag nobody cleaned up. On the Canadian Charger page, all four 2026 trims are gas cars: R/T and Scat Pack, two-door and four-door, every one using the 3.0-litre Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six with an eight-speed automatic. The Scat Pack runs the 510-hp high-output tune. The battery-electric car is not mentioned on that page.

I couldn’t find a discontinuation notice on Dodge.ca or on Stellantis’ North American media site. That matters. A car missing from a consumer shopping site is not the same as a car that has been officially cancelled, and the Daytona’s status should be treated as unresolved until Stellantis says otherwise.

The numbers explain the empty page

Whatever the reason in Canada, the U.S. sales data shows how far the electric Charger has fallen. Stellantis’ Q3 sales release breaks the Charger into separate gas and electric lines.

Year to date, the gap is just as wide. Electric Charger sales are 767, down 89%. Gas Charger sales are 8,029, up 330%.

Put simply, Dodge built the electric car first, launched the inline-six later, and buyers immediately went for the gas one. In one quarter, the Hurricane car went from a rounding error to outselling the EV by nearly 15 to one.

The Canadian twist: free money, no cars

Canada makes this especially awkward. Ottawa’s EV Affordability Program pays point-of-sale incentives on light-duty EVs built in Canada or in free-trade partner countries. Imported EVs only qualify if the final transaction value is $50,000 or less. Canadian-built EVs have no price cap at all.

That exemption was practically written for this car. Stellantis’ Windsor Assembly Plant has been the Charger’s sole factory. When Stellantis launched Windsor’s third shift in February 2026, it put total plant employment at about 6,000. So the one Canadian-built electric car that could collect a full federal incentive at any price has now disappeared from the website Canadians use to shop for it. Policymakers in Ottawa won’t enjoy that.

The trade backdrop also changed this year. Under Canada’s EV import quota, the country now allows an initial 49,000 Chinese-built EVs a year at the 6.1% most-favoured-nation tariff rate. A $70,000-plus electric muscle car was never going to compete with those on price. Even so, giving up the showroom in the same year Chinese brands get a cheaper way in is notable.

What a “delisting” actually means

Most consumer automaker sites are built mainly to search dealer inventory and generate leads. When a model drops out of the lineup, it’s often because there’s nothing left to sell, not because anyone has formally killed it. If that’s what happened here, the electric Charger could come back as soon as cars ship again.

The other explanation is that Stellantis is quietly letting the EV fade in a market where it no longer pays. Treat that as a hypothesis, not a fact. The sales chart supports it. No corporate statement I could find confirms it.

For owners and shoppers

  • Existing Daytona owners: A car missing from a sales website doesn’t change the factory warranty, recall obligations, or a dealer’s ability to service it. Dodge still sells Chargers, and the gas and electric versions share the STLA Large platform and body structure, so collision parts for common panels should stay in the Mopar system. The EV-specific parts are the real long-term question: the battery pack, drive modules, and the Fratzonic speaker hardware.
  • Residual values: Low-volume EVs with uncertain futures tend to depreciate harder. If you’re planning to trade one in, keep that in mind before an official announcement makes the decision for the market.
  • Shoppers who still want one: The federal incentive applies to new vehicles bought or leased from a licensed dealer, so new units still sitting at dealers matter. Call around before assuming the car is gone. A website lineup isn’t a national inventory count.
  • Everyone else: The Hurricane Scat Pack is what Dodge is clearly putting on the showroom floor in Canada, at a listed starting price of $65,890 for the two-door before tax.

Dodge’s electric muscle car launched to make a point about the future. In Canada, for now, buyers can’t even find it on Dodge’s website.
