Volkswagen ID.4 takes double the time that Hyundai Ioniq 5 to recharge. Recently Volkswagen’s buggy software received more attention as there are product delays. The company is said to be lacking behind its competitors, especially with charging times.

The VW ID.4 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 are similarly priced vehicles, starting around $50,000 for their 77 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery versions. But the ID.4 takes more than double the time to charge to 200 kilometers (124 miles) of range, with the two clocking in at 20 minutes and 10 minutes, respectively. One of the engineering decisions that’s put Hyundai toward the head of the pack in this regard was its adoption of an 800-volt architecture. This enables its car batteries to quickly take in electricity at higher power by lowering the current, which can be a limiting factor for other vehicles. The Volkswagen Group brought an 800-volt system to market ahead of others with the Porsche Taycan that debuted in 2019 but decided against offering it across more models, at least for a few years.

. That decision, presumably having to do with expense, may have lacked vision. BloombergNEF’s latest research into ultra-fast charging finds that 24 automakers are adopting 800-volt technology, including established players Stellantis, Toyota Motor, and General Motors, and China’s Nio, Xpeng, and BYD. During VW’s Power Day presentation last year, executives described plans to adopt solid-state batteries in certain vehicles after 2025 and said their target was to offer vehicles that charge to 80% from 10% in 12 minutes.

Technology

VW’s EVs would need to charge at significantly higher powers than the current lineup, likely leading to the adoption of 800-volt technology. In fairness to VW, there’s some debate about whether putting this technology into smaller, less-luxurious vehicles makes strategic sense. Tesla CEO Elon Musk and CTO Drew Baglino questioned this during an earnings call in April, saying the advantages of moving the Model 3 and Model Y over to 800 volts would be limited and the cost would be high. Tesla is managing to reach similar charging powers with 400-volt systems that other vehicles achieve with 800-volt alternatives.

It’s unclear if the company can squeeze more out of its 400-volt systems, though, and Musk and Baglino did say an 800-volt system was under consideration for Tesla’s larger Semi and Cybertruck models. As the market for 800-volt components grows and automakers and their suppliers innovate, the cost gap will narrow, and 800-volt technology could take more of the market. Companies including ZF Friedrichshafen, Schaeffler, and Marelli have recently presented 800-volt components. Hyundai’s willingness to adopt 800-volt technology hasn’t translated to the domination of the EV market, as the manufacturer hasn’t been able to satisfy demand. In the current supply chain climate, quickly taking delivery of most EV models is challenging, with buyers waiting more than a year in some cases.

Dodge Pauses Entry-Level Charger Daytona R/T for 2026 Amid Shifting Market and Tariff Pressures

The Dodge Charger Daytona R/T will not be part of the 2026 model year lineup, according to Dodge CEO Matt McAlear. While Dodge hasn’t completely ruled out the trim’s return in the future, the automaker has officially postponed its production for now. The reason? A combination of market shifts and uncertainties surrounding U.S. tariff policies. "Production of the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T is postponed for the 2026 model year as we continue to assess the effects of U.S. tariff policies,” McAlear said in a statement to Motor1. Instead, Dodge will sharpen its focus on high-performance offerings, like the Charger Daytona Scat Pack, and upcoming internal combustion alternatives. Scat Pack Takes Center Stage With the R/T trim off the table, the Daytona Scat Pack now becomes the sole all-electric Charger variant available for 2026. And it’s no slouch. Delivering 670 horsepower from its dual-motor setup, the Scat Pack is targeting mid-11-second quarter-mile times. However, the performance comes at the cost of range, 241 miles per the EPA estimate, a step down from the R/T’s 308 miles. That boost in performance also brings a steeper price tag. The Scat Pack will sit around $60,000 after factoring in the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. In contrast, the now-shelved R/T was expected to be a more accessible entry point to the electric muscle segment, slipping in under $50,000 with the same tax break. Lagging Sales, Overstuffed Lots Market data supports Dodge’s decision. Charger sales fell by a staggering 54 percent in 2024. The first-quarter sales of electric Chargers in 2025 totaled just 1,947 units, a mix of both R/T and Scat Pack trims. Meanwhile, Mopar Insiders reported that approximately 3,500 R/T units are still sitting unsold in dealer inventories. This lukewarm reception has highlighted a broader issue: despite the impressive specs, the brand’s electric offerings haven’t captured the hearts of traditional Dodge enthusiasts, many of whom remain loyal to internal combustion. The Sixpack Rises To address this, Dodge is introducing a new four-door variant, the Charger Sixpack, aimed at muscle fans not quite ready to embrace electrification. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, the Sixpack will be available in both standard-output (420 hp) and high-output (550 hp) trims. Though exact pricing hasn’t been revealed, it's expected to slot in around the price point previously held by the R/T. The new platform, STLA Large, is designed to support both EVs and ICE models, giving Dodge flexibility to pivot as demand dictates. Looking Ahead While the Charger Daytona R/T may be gone for now, its future isn’t completely off the table. Dodge is keeping a close eye on market dynamics, government policies, and consumer behavior as it fine-tunes its approach. With the Scat Pack holding the electric torch and the Six Pack catering to combustion purists, Dodge’s strategy appears focused on streamlining its offerings while covering both sides of the propulsion spectrum. As more details about the 2026 Charger lineup emerge, muscle car fans and industry watchers alike will be paying close attention. The muscle car isn’t dead, it’s just adapting.
