There’s nothing like American muscle. The jury is still out on what defines a muscle car, and the answer to your question largely comes down to personal opinion. But, Dodge is making their version of an electric muscle car.
It’s no secret that Americans love the feeling of operating a muscle car. These sleek and powerful machines are not only affordable, but they are also performance beasts. As the world goes electric, some people wonder if
electric cars
can replace the satisfying roar of internal combustion engines.
Muscle heads aren’t ready to lose the other qualities that make a muscle car American gold.
What exactly makes a car a muscle car in the first place?
The definition of what makes a muscle car has always been the subject of debate. Some people classify muscle as a midsize vehicle with a massive engine and a high horsepower rating. Others prioritize acceleration and performance as the critical aspects of making a car muscle.
Nonetheless, major automaker Dodge plans to release the first eMuscle, an electric muscle car, by 2024. The Dodge EV will be either an electric version of the challenger or charger and promises to be even better than the classics.
Dodge predicts that this introduction will bring about another significant era for the automotive industry. And we could soon see other big brands adding their own eMusle to the lineup.
