The automaker is replacing two of its most iconic cars, the Challenger and Charger, with the Charger Daytona SRT, a sleek battery-powered model still in the concept stage. Stellantis, which manufactures Dodge vehicles, is discontinuing both the Challenger and Charger from its Brampton assembly line as it switches to EVs, but hasn’t specified what models—if any—it will manufacture in their place.

Talking point: The EV shift presents a challenge for the muscle car industry, which maintains a dedicated fan base thanks to the cars’ classic looks, mechanical feel and obnoxiously loud engines. In an attempt to satisfy those fans, the all-electric Charger will make an artificial exhaust sound that’s meant to emulate the rumble of an internal combustion engine, and have a gear shift that mimics a transmission. Harley Davidson, for its part, has taken the opposite approach: Rather than try to duplicate the iconic deep sputter of its engines, the company’s new all-electric model gives off the high-pitched whir of a jet engine.
