In my mind, some EVs already qualify as muscle cars. The Tesla S can do the 1/4 mile in the 12 second bracket and some of the upcoming cars will most likely do better than that (the Lucid has 3 versions of their first model, and the top version has 3 motors - 1 for the front wheels, 1 for each of the rear wheels with an advertised horsepower of 1,111 and a range of 471 miles). It’s very expensive ($169K) but I imagine the price will come down as it gets into the market. ---

Corporate Average Fuel Economy for the 2026 model year will be 49 mpg, manufactures need to sell several high mileage hybrids or EVs for each V-8 coupe or sedan to meet CAFE standards. There are a limited number of people shopping for a Prius type car, people have enjoyed the variety of vehicles sold in the States, but those choices are being reduced. > [@bcohen2010](#): > > Chysler/Stellantis would be better off reviving the Dodge Shadow and Dodge Neon than continuing to sell muscle cars. Plenty of competition in the compact car market and little profit. 2005 was the last year for the Neon, the Hyundai Excel was advertised for $9,995. There is a lot more profit in selling Challengers. ---

A charger EV that use a turbov6/battery is a hybrid. It’s not a full on ev/Tesla clone. ---
