Dodge Charger Daytona BEV Safety
NHTSA safety across every Dodge Charger Daytona BEV model year we cover.
Across the 1 model year of the Dodge Charger Daytona BEV we cover (2026 to 2026), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. No recalls are on record across those years.
The 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona BEV is a bold entry into the electric muscle car segment, offered as a four-door fastback that targets performance-minded buyers ready to make the switch to battery power. It carries the legendary Charger nameplate into fully electric territory, aiming squarely at drivers who want an aggressive, driver-focused experience without a combustion engine under the hood.
The 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona BEV enters the market without federal crash-test ratings. NHTSA has not yet evaluated this model, leaving prospective buyers without star ratings to assess its structural performance or occupant protection. This absence of data means no Safety Index score can be calculated for a comprehensive safety comparison. Despite the lack of crash-test results, the 2026 Charger Daytona BEV has no recalls or owner complaints on record with NHTSA. This zero-complaint status is common for a newly released vehicle, as the owner base is small and insufficient time has passed for issues to emerge and be reported. While the absence of early complaints offers a clean initial record, it does not confirm long-term safety performance. Buyers prioritizing a vehicle with validated crash protection should await the publication of NHTSA's testing results.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the Charger Daytona BEV for its striking, muscular exterior design and the visceral, performance-forward driving character Dodge has engineered into the electric platform. Most note the spacious, driver-oriented cabin and the brand's effort to preserve an engaging feel. Some reviewers flag questions about charging infrastructure and how the interior materials and refinement stack up against more established electric competitors.
- NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2026 Charger Daytona BEV, meaning there are no federal star ratings or Safety Index scores available. Shoppers cannot yet make data-backed comparisons of its crashworthiness against rivals.
- Zero recalls have been issued for the 2026 model year, which is a positive early indicator, though the vehicle is new to market and has had limited time in the field for issues to surface.
- Owner complaints to NHTSA stand at zero for the 2026 model year, with no reported crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths on file. This figure should be interpreted cautiously given the small and early owner base.
- As a first-generation fully electric platform for Dodge, the Charger Daytona BEV has no multi-year safety track record to draw on. Shoppers should revisit NHTSA's database periodically as crash-test results and real-world complaint data begin to accumulate.
