What EV Charger Do You Need for a 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack?
Many buyers waste money on an 80 amp charger their car cannot use. Your Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack caps out at 48 amps for Level 2 charging. Buy a unit that matches this limit. Anything bigger sits idle and drains cash.
The numbers
| Maximum AC charging rate | 11.0 kW (48 A) |
|---|---|
| Charger size to buy | 48 A |
| Circuit breaker required | 60 A |
| Outlet / connection | hardwired (a 48 A EVSE must be hardwired -- no household receptacle is rated for it) |
| Charge port | J1772 |
| Full charge on Level 2 | about 9.6 hours |
| Range added per hour (Level 2) | about 29 miles |
| Full charge on a 120 V outlet | about 74 hours |
| Range added per hour (120 V) | about 3.8 miles |
| EPA rated range | 279 miles |
| Energy for a full charge | about 106.0 kWh at the wall |
Why 48 amps and not more
The onboard charger draws 11.0 kilowatts, which means 48 amps is the ceiling for AC power intake. Feeding it a larger 60 amp or 80 amp unit yields zero speed gains. The car ignores the extra capacity. Sticking to a 48 amp EVSE fills the 106.0 kWh battery from empty in 9.6 hours. You get 29 miles of range for every hour plugged in.
What the install involves
You need a dedicated 60 amp breaker to feed the 48 amp load safely. Hardwire the unit directly to the supply because no household receptacle is rated for this continuous draw. Bring in a licensed electrician to pull the wire, land it on the new breaker, and check that your main panel has spare capacity. Skip the wall plug entirely and mount the EVSE straight to the wall studs.

Common questions
- What connector does this car use?
- It uses a J1772 connection. This model year falls in the industry transition to NACS, so many cars ship with a NACS port and include a J1772 adapter. Confirm your exact port type before buying gear.
- Can I plug this into a normal wall outlet?
- No. Level 1 charging on a standard household outlet takes 74 hours for a full fill and adds only 3.8 miles of range per hour. You need a proper Level 2 setup for daily driving.
- Why does the EPA charge time differ from the max rate?
- The EPA rated test takes 9.9 hours and yields 28 miles per hour of charge. Standard testing conditions do not always run at the absolute peak AC rate of the vehicle.
- Do I need an adapter for Tesla destination chargers?
- Yes, if you want to use Tesla gear with your J1772 port. An adapter like the Lectron Tesla to J1772 lets you tap those stations on the road.
