Dodge Charger EV Safety
NHTSA safety across every Dodge Charger EV model year we cover.
Across the 2 model years of the Dodge Charger EV we cover (2024 to 2025), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. 6 recalls have been issued across those years.
The Dodge Charger EV is a bold, muscle-car-inspired electric vehicle aimed at performance enthusiasts who want the Charger name without a combustion engine. Positioned in the growing electric performance segment, it targets drivers who prioritize attitude and acceleration but still expect modern safety credentials. As a brand-new nameplate in the EV space, its safety record is just beginning to take shape.
The 2024-2025 Dodge Charger EV currently lacks a fundamental safety assessment: NHTSA has not yet conducted crash testing for these model years. Consequently, no star ratings or a computed Safety Index score are available for a structural evaluation. This absence of foundational crash data is significant for a new model, particularly one positioned with performance aspirations. NHTSA records show 2 recalls across both model years. These early production recalls for an electric vehicle warrant close attention, as they often pertain to software, battery, or electrical system issues. Prospective owners should verify their specific VIN is clear of any open recalls prior to delivery. Owner complaints total 20 across the 2024 and 2025 models. While modest in number, these complaints represent early real-world concerns. Within this complaint data, NHTSA logs 1 reported crash and 1 reported injury. These are owner allegations, not verified findings, but they indicate that issues are emerging for a vehicle still in its initial market phase. The safety profile for the Dodge Charger EV remains incomplete. The absence of crash-test star ratings, the presence of two recalls, and an accumulating complaint file mean that its safety performance requires ongoing monitoring as more data becomes available.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally describe the Dodge Charger EV as a dramatic, attention-commanding vehicle that leans hard into its muscle-car heritage while delivering strong electric performance. Most note that the interior materials and refinement are a step forward for the Dodge brand, and driving dynamics are praised for feeling engaging and responsive. Value perceptions are mixed, with some reviewers questioning whether the execution fully matches the ambition.
- NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2024 or 2025 Dodge Charger EV, so there are no official star ratings to guide your structural safety comparison against competitors.
- Two recalls have been issued across the 2024 and 2025 model years. Check your VIN on NHTSA's recall database before purchase or delivery to confirm all open recalls have been remedied.
- Owner complaints filed with NHTSA for these model years include 1 reported crash and 1 reported injury across 20 total complaints. These are unverified allegations, but they indicate early real-world issues worth monitoring as the complaint file grows.
- As a first-generation electric vehicle on a new platform, the Charger EV's safety and recall history is still developing. Plan to check NHTSA's database periodically in the months after purchase, since new recalls and complaint patterns often emerge in a model's first two years on the road.
