What EV Charger Do You Need for a 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T?
A full charge takes 9.7 hours on a Level 2 setup. That timeline finishes an overnight refill with hours to spare. Your Dodge draws up to 48 amps. Buying a 48 amp charger matches that limit directly.
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
The battery holds 106.3 kWh. Pumping juice at 48 amps puts 32 miles of range into the pack every single hour. Buying a smaller charger slows down your replenishment rate. Buying a larger unit wastes money because the onboard charger caps the draw at 48 amps anyway. Stick to the 48 amp rating for the fastest possible AC home fueling.
What the install involves
You need a 60 amp breaker installed in your main panel. An electrician must pull heavy copper wire to a hardwired connection point because no household receptacle handles 48 continuous amps safely. Have a professional check your panel for spare capacity before buying hardware. Hardwiring eliminates the failure points of a high amp plug.

Common questions
- Can I plug this car into a standard wall outlet?
- Yes, but Level 1 charging takes 74 hours for a complete fill. You get only 4.2 miles of range per hour. Hardwired Level 2 is practically mandatory for daily driving.
- What connector does the car use?
- It uses a J1772 connector. Many 2025+ vehicles ship with a NACS port and include a J1772 adapter, so confirm your physical port before ordering.
- Will a 50 amp charger push the car faster?
- No. The car limits AC input to 48 amps max. Feeding it more amperage changes nothing about the speed.
- Why does the EPA charge time differ?
- The EPA rating estimates 9.9 hours and 31 miles of range per hour. Standard testing protocols vary slightly from real world maximum output.
Other vehicles
Charging times derived from EPA data for the 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T (covering 4 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.
