What EV Charger Do You Need for a 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T?
Pulling a heavy 60 amp circuit and hardwiring the unit is the only way to feed your car at its maximum speed. You need a 48 amp Level 2 setup to match the onboard charger. A professional needs to check your panel capacity before any wires go in.
The numbers
| Maximum AC charging rate | 11.0 kW (48 A) |
|---|---|
| Charger size to buy | 48 A |
| Circuit breaker required | 60 A |
| Outlet / connection | hardwired (a 48 A EVSE must be hardwired -- no household receptacle is rated for it) |
| Charge port | J1772 |
| Full charge on Level 2 | about 9.7 hours |
| Range added per hour (Level 2) | about 32 miles |
| Full charge on a 120 V outlet | about 74 hours |
| Range added per hour (120 V) | about 4.2 miles |
| EPA rated range | 308 miles |
| Energy for a full charge | about 106.3 kWh at the wall |
Why 48 amps and not more
Your car accepts a maximum of 48 amps on AC power. Feeding it fewer amps means slower replenishment times overnight. Buying a 50 amp or 80 amp charger will not speed things up because the car limits the intake itself. The vehicle draws 11.0 kW and fills the 106.3 kWh battery in 9.7 hours. Stick to the 48 amp rating.
What the install involves
A 48 amp draw requires a 60 amp breaker and heavy gauge copper wire. No household receptacle handles this continuous load, so the supply must be hardwired directly into the charger. Call a licensed sparky to land the circuit on your main breaker panel. They must verify your home service can handle the extra load without tripping the main breaker.

Common questions
- What connector does the car use?
- Your car uses a J1772 connector for standard Level 2 AC charging. Every non Tesla EV sold in North America through 2024 uses this port.
- How fast does Level 1 charging go?
- Plugging into a standard household wall outlet yields 4.2 miles of range per hour. A full recharge from empty takes 74 hours on Level 1.
- Can I use a Tesla charger?
- You can use Tesla Destination Chargers and Wall Connectors if you buy a separate adapter like the Lectron Tesla to J1772 unit. The car cannot plug into them directly.
- What is the EPA charge time?
- The EPA estimates a Level 2 charge takes 9.9 hours at 31 miles of range per hour. Real world results match your car's peak 9.7 hour full rate under ideal conditions.
Other vehicles
Charging times derived from EPA data for the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T (covering 3 EPA trim listings). Electrical requirements follow NEC 625.41, which sizes a circuit at 125% of a continuous load. Always have a licensed electrician verify your panel.
