So, if you've been eagerly waiting to be a ["Badassador"](), don't delay. Dodge will pull the plug on this limited-time deal at the end of March. Depending on who you ask, the Dodge Charger Daytona is either a hell of a muscle car, or just hell. Zero-to-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and 670 horsepower? Sign us up! Heavy curb weight and No big V8? Burn it! [Charger criticism]() aside, bargain hunters will love the coupon stacking allowed with the new EV. After a 29% drop in [year-over-year sales]() last year, [Dodge]() could use the sales injection. Reported by [*CarsDirect*](), the 2024 Charger EV became eligible this week for a $7,500 National Retail Consumer Cash rebate. That means buyers now get the [same incentive that lease shoppers have]() had since the holidays. Because the Charger Daytona doesn't qualify for the federal EV tax credit, it's a welcomed manufactured offset. And *then* come the extra bonuses. The National Dodge Performance Days Combo Bonus Cash, which is $3,000, can be added for a combined $10,500 discount. Applicable for both the Daytona R/T and Scat Pack models, you could invariably snag an EV muscle car for about $51,000. The price drops even more if you live on the West Coast. Charger buyers and lessees making the switch from a non-[Stellantis]() vehicle can add another two grand to their pockets. No turn-in or trade-in is required to take advantage of the Conquest Bonus Cash offering. Model-year 2025 Chargers only come with the consumer cash rebate, which tops out at $6,500. Its special financing offer is 1.9% APR for 72 months. The caveat is that after all the 2024MY discounts, the financing promo of 0% APR for 72 months is a separate deal and can't be combined. Although you can apply the $3,000 Performance Days bonus, for some, the interest-free offer might not mean a better deal than the outright cash. For example, *CarsDirect* calculated a savings of just $3,700 if opting for the 0% APR versus utilizing all available rebates, even if financing at 7% interest. Of course, your mileage will vary based on your credit history. Either way, you win the [next-gen muscle car]() EV lottery. It's a matter of deciding between the lump sum of $12,500 or taking $5,000 but zero interest for six years. Otherwise, the only other (questionable) decision is whether you're really going to opt in on that "Dodge Badassador" title, too. *Got tips?
