Dodge Charger Daytona At-Home Charging FAQs

The Dodge Charger Daytona offers convenient at-home charging solutions to fit your lifestyle. You'll primarily encounter two types of chargers: Level 1 and Level 2. Level 1 charging uses a standard 120-volt household outlet (the kind you plug a lamp into). This is a simpler, more accessible option, but it provides a slower charge and is suitable for overnight top-ups or if you drive shorter distances. Level 2 charging utilizes a 240-volt outlet, similar to the one used for your electric dryer or oven. This higher voltage significantly reduces charging time, making it ideal for daily commutes and quicker turnarounds. For the fastest home charging, a professionally installed Level 2 charger is recommended.

Charging time depends on several factors, including the battery's state of charge, the charger's power output (Level 1 or Level 2), and Daytona's onboard charging capabilities. Level 1 charging, using a 120-volt outlet, typically adds only a few miles of range per hour. Therefore, it's best suited for plugging in overnight, and it may take considerable time to charge a fully depleted battery. Level 2 charging, utilizing a 240-volt outlet, is considerably faster. Depending on the amperage of the Level 2 charger, you can expect significantly reduced charging times, potentially fully charging the battery overnight or in just a few hours. Consult your Daytona's owner's manual for specific charging time estimates based on your model and equipment.

For Level 1 charging, you can use the charging cable that comes with your Charger Daytona and plug it into any standard 120-volt household outlet.  However, for Level 2 charging, you'll need a dedicated 240-volt outlet and a Level 2 charger.  It is highly recommended to have a qualified electrician install the 240-volt outlet to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes.  The Level 2 charger can be purchased through Dodge or third-party retailers.  Lone Star Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram can also assist you with finding and installing the appropriate charging equipment for your new Daytona.  We are here to help you make the transition to electric driving as seamless as possible.
