Why this number
The Dodge Charger Daytona (EPA data for the 2027 model year, the newest the EPA lists; dollar figures use 2026 electricity rates) uses 42.4 kWh per 100 miles on the EPA combined cycle — the wall-outlet figure, so charging losses are already counted (look up your exact trim at fueleconomy.gov ). At the US average residential rate of 17¢/kWh that puts the Charger Daytona at about $7.21 per 100 miles — 7.21¢ a mile. That is on the heavy side — 58th of 67, where 67 is the least efficient — which is typical for a sedan of this weight. It still costs far less per mile than gasoline, but it is not where EV running costs are at their best.
What a Charger Daytona costs to charge at every rate
The same Charger Daytona costs $5.24 per 100 miles at Idaho’s 12.35¢ and $22.35 at Hawaii’s 52.72¢ — a 4.3× spread that is entirely the rate:
| Electricity rate | Per 100 miles | Full charge (~104 kWh) | Per year at 12,000 miles |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12¢/kWh | $5.09 | $12.52 | $611 |
| 15¢/kWh | $6.36 | $15.65 | $763 |
| 17¢/kWh (US avg) | $7.21 | $17.73 | $865 |
| 20¢/kWh | $8.48 | $20.86 | $1,018 |
| 25¢/kWh | $10.60 | $26.08 | $1,272 |
| 30¢/kWh | $12.72 | $31.29 | $1,526 |
| 35¢/kWh | $14.84 | $36.51 | $1,781 |
| 45¢/kWh | $19.08 | $46.94 | $2,290 |
Wall-side for the Charger Daytona: EPA’s 42.4 kWh/100 mi is measured at the outlet, charger losses included; quick-fill your state above for your own figure.
That per-mile figure is the one to hold against gasoline: at 17¢/kWh the Charger Daytona’s 7.21¢ a mile compares with about 13.6¢ for a 30-mpg gas car at $4.07 a gallon (EIA weekly, Aug 31, 2026). The EV vs gas cost guide works the Charger Daytona’s math in full — both formulas, and the electricity rate at which the advantage disappears.
Range: what a “full charge” of the Charger Daytona really means
EPA combined range is about 246 miles. Multiplying that by the car’s efficiency gives roughly 104 kWh to refill a full range from empty, which is the honest way to think about a ‘full charge’ — battery capacity figures include a buffer you never actually use. That is a modest range by 2026 standards, which matters less for cost than for how often you plan around charging on long trips.
The Charger Daytona on a public fast charger
On a public fast charger at about 48¢/kWh the Charger Daytona costs $20.35 per 100 miles against $7.21 at home — 2.8× — or roughly $2,442 a year instead of $865 if it never sees a home outlet. Why a session costs more than the posted price for a Charger Daytona (10–80% charging curve, idle fees, per-minute billing) is explained once on the cost-to-charge hub ; the EV time-of-use calculator nets an overnight rate against the Charger Daytona’s $865 flat-rate figure.
The Charger Daytona in cold weather
A hard winter lifts the Charger Daytona from 42.4 to roughly 55.1 kWh/100 mi (the middle of the 20–40% rise real-world data shows), so $9.37 per 100 miles instead of $7.21 and an effective range nearer 189 miles than 246. The mechanics behind the Charger Daytona’s winter penalty — cabin heat, battery chemistry, preconditioning from the wall — are on the hub ; the Charger Daytona’s $865 annual figure above already averages the seasons.
Where the Charger Daytona sits against other EVs
Its nearest neighbors on efficiency are the Volkswagen ID. Buzz (41.4 kWh/100 mi) and the Mercedes-Benz EQS (42.5 kWh/100 mi). The Charger Daytona at 42.4 kWh/100 mi sits against a set that runs from the Tesla Model Y at 26.9 kWh/100 mi, and the least efficient is the GMC Hummer EV at 67.8 — a spread that changes annual charging cost by $834 a year at 17¢/kWh and 12,000 miles.
Trims: does the Charger Daytona version you pick change the bill?
The EPA rates 3 configurations of the 2027 Charger Daytona, and they are not close: 39.1 kWh/100 mi for the most efficient, 44.8 for the least, a 15% spread. At 12,000 miles that is about $116 a year between the cheapest and most expensive version of the same Charger Daytona. Bigger wheels, all-wheel drive and performance tunes are usually what separates them — worth knowing before you tick the options box.
The tax question for the Charger Daytona, answered plainly
Nothing about the Charger Daytona changes that: the rules are the same for every EV, and the full 2026 position — §30D, §25E, the ended §30C charger credit, state programs — is in the energy tax credit guide and on the cost-to-charge hub .

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to fully charge a Dodge Charger Daytona?
About $17.73 at the US average residential rate of 17¢/kWh. Refilling 246 miles of EPA range draws roughly 104 kWh from the wall — the EPA figure is measured at the outlet, so charger and cable losses are already in it. At 12¢/kWh that is $12.52; at 45¢/kWh it is $46.94.
What does a Charger Daytona cost per mile in electricity?
About 7.21¢ per mile for the Charger Daytona at 17¢/kWh, measured at the wall. For the Charger Daytona that is the number to set against gasoline: a 30-mpg car at $4.07 a gallon (EIA weekly, Aug 31, 2026) costs about 13.6¢ a mile.
Is it cheaper to charge the Charger Daytona at home or at a public fast charger?
Home, for the Charger Daytona: about $7.21 per 100 miles at 17¢/kWh against roughly $20.35 on a 48¢ fast charger — 2.8 times as much, before idle fees and per-minute billing on some networks.
Does the Charger Daytona qualify for a federal EV tax credit in 2026?
No — the Charger Daytona, like every EV bought after September 30, 2025, gets $0 federal purchase credit (§30D and §25E ended); the charger credit (§30C) ended June 30, 2026. State and utility EV programs are unaffected.
How we calculated this
Worked for the Charger Daytona: 42.4 kWh/100 mi ÷ 100 × 17¢ = $7.21 per 100 miles; 246 mi × 42.4 ÷ 100 = 104 kWh, × $0.17 = $17.73 per full charge; $7.21 × 12,000 ÷ 100 = $865 a year. The Charger Daytona’s gasoline comparison is 12,000 ÷ 30 mpg × $4.07 = $1,628.
