- Dodge displayed a gas-powered Law Charger PPV concept at the Police Fleet Expo at Daytona International Speedway, though Stellantis has issued no official announcement about the concept's production future
- Matt McAlear, Dodge CEO, told Mopar Insiders the police Charger is "absolutely part of the plan" and confirmed he recently met with the GSA and the company's fleet team
- Dodge is actively working with the California Highway Patrol and Michigan State Police — the two main bodies that set standards for what a pursuit model must be
- The Dodge Law Charger PPV concept comes standard with AWD and pairs a twin-turbo V6 producing 550 hp with the gas drivetrain — 120 hp short of the 670 hp electric Charger
- The author argues police departments should adopt the electric Charger instead, citing its higher output, instant torque, and lower fuel costs versus rising municipal fuel bills
Why it matters: Dodge is giving police buyers a gas-powered pursuit Charger that, per the source's own specs, makes 120 hp less than the 670 hp electric version — a deficit the article itself argues leaves departments both out-gunned against high-performance EVs and stuck paying higher fuel bills as municipal costs climb.
