Speeders just got lucky: the new Dodge police Charger is NOT electric

If the Mopar faithful won’t embrace the 670 hp electric Charger because it’s powered by batteries, and won’t accept the 550 hp Sixpack Charger because it’s powered by turbos. In a last-ditch effort, Dodge executives are hoping the people chasing them down will.

A new Dodge Law Charger PPV concept was on display at the Police Fleet Expo at the Daytona International Speedway this week – and, while there’s been no official announcement from Stellantis about the concept or its future, it’s probably safe to say you should get familiar with the Charger’s roofline if you have a heavy foot.

“It’s absolutely part of the plan,” Dodge CEO Matt McAlear told Mopar Insiders, just days before the reveal. “I met with the GSA (General Services Administration) and our fleet team a couple of weeks ago. So, they’re actively working with the California Highway Patrol and the Michigan State Police, two of the main bodies that help set the standards for what a pursuit model must be. So, we’re absolutely focused on it. It’s always taken a Charger to catch a Charger, and it’s not something we’re walking away from.”

Details were light on the Team One Network social media post that effectively served as the car’s announcement, but we do know something: AWD is standard.

It looks the part, sure – but the left lane bandits are sure to be breathing a sigh of relief to see the gas-powered Charger being taken on by the police department planners.
