What EV Charger Do You Need for a 2027 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack Rear?
Forty-eight amps. That is the draw you need to feed your car at its maximum onboard charger rate. Going smaller means longer overnight waits. Going bigger wastes money on hardware the car cannot use.
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 25 miles |
| Full charge on a 120 V outlet | about 72 hours |
| Range added per hour (120 V) | about 3.2 miles |
| EPA rated range | 231 miles |
| Energy for a full charge | about 103.5 kWh at the wall |
Why 48 amps and not more
The onboard charger maxes out at 48 amps. Buying a 48 amp Level 2 unit fills the 103.5 kWh battery in 9.4 hours. Connecting a larger unit does not speed up this rate because the car limits the current. The EPA test logs a charge time of 10.0 hours at 23 miles of range per hour, while the peak rate delivers 25 miles per hour. Standard Level 1 gear crawls at 3.2 miles per hour and takes 72 hours for a full tank.
What the install involves
You need a 60 amp breaker to feed a 48 amp load safely. Hardwire the connection directly because no household receptacle handles 48 amps safely. Have a licensed electrician pull the circuit and land it on the breaker. They must also check that your main panel has spare capacity for the load.

Common questions
- What plug does this car use?
- It uses a J1772 connector. This model year falls in the industry transition to NACS, so many ship with a NACS port and include a J1772 adapter. Confirm your car port before buying.
- Can I use a standard wall outlet?
- No. Standard household outlets provide Level 1 charging at 3.2 miles per hour, which takes 72 hours for a full charge. You need a dedicated Level 2 circuit.
- Do I need a hardwired charger?
- Yes. A 48 amp EVSE must be hardwired because no household receptacle is rated for that continuous load.
- How long does a full charge take?
- A full charge takes 9.4 hours using a 48 amp Level 2 charger. The EPA-rated charge time is 10.0 hours.
