Dodge Charger Daytona Bev
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 arrives with essentially a clean slate from a safety data perspective, and that cuts both ways. On the positive side, NHTSA has recorded zero recalls and zero owner complaints for this model year, meaning no federal safety campaigns have been issued and no owners have yet filed grievances with the agency covering crashes, fires, injuries, or fatalities. For a brand-new nameplate in a brand-new powertrain configuration, that absence of early red flags is a reasonable early sign. However, the picture is genuinely incomplete. NHTSA has not yet crash-tested the 2026 Charger Daytona BEV, so there are no star ratings and no Safety Index score to anchor a full assessment. Shoppers cannot yet compare its structural performance or restraint systems against competitors using federal data. That is a significant gap for safety-conscious buyers. The zero-complaint figure should also be read carefully. This vehicle is new to market, which means the owner population is still small and complaint data simply has not had time to accumulate. The absence of complaints is not the same as a confirmed safety record. Bottom line: the 2026 Charger Daytona BEV enters the market without a safety red flag on record, but without crash-test validation either. Buyers who prioritize verified crash protection should watch for NHTSA testing results before committing.
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.
