What EV Charger Do You Need for a 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack Track Pack?
A full charge takes 9.4 hours at peak Level 2 speed. That turnaround easily fits an overnight window. You need a 48 amp charger to hit that rate.
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 9.4 hours |
| Range added per hour (Level 2) | about 23 miles |
| Full charge on a 120 V outlet | about 72 hours |
| Range added per hour (120 V) | about 3.0 miles |
| EPA rated range | 216 miles |
| Energy for a full charge | about 103.7 kWh at the wall |
Why 48 amps and not more
The car accepts a maximum of 48 amps of alternating current. Pumping more amperage into the vehicle does nothing because the onboard charger limits power intake to 11.0 kilowatts. Buying a larger unit wastes money. Your battery capacity is 103.7 kilowatt hours. A 48 amp supply feeds 23 miles of range into the pack every hour.
What the install involves
You need a licensed electrician to pull a dedicated circuit and land it on a 60 amp breaker. No household receptacle handles 48 amps safely. The charging unit must be hardwired directly to the electrical supply. Ask the electrician to verify your main panel has spare capacity before starting the job.

Common questions
- What connector does the car use?
- Every non Tesla EV sold in North America through 2024 uses the J1772 connector for AC Level 2 charging. You plug straight in without a special dock adapter.
- Can I use a standard wall outlet?
- Level 1 charging from a standard household outlet takes 72 hours for a full refill. It adds only 3.0 miles of range per hour. You will want a proper Level 2 setup.
- Why does the EPA charge time differ?
- The EPA rated Level 2 charge time takes 9.9 hours and delivers 22 miles per hour. The EPA test does not always run at the car's peak AC rate.
- Will a 50 amp charger work?
- You can install a unit like the ChargePoint Home Flex 50A Hardwired and dial it down to 48 amps in the app. The car cannot draw more than 48 amps anyway.
