2024 Electric Dodge Hornet R/T Charging Tips

The 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T stands out as a symbol of the shift toward electrification. This forward-looking vehicle features a state-of-the-art hybrid powertrain that seamlessly combines a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine with electric propulsion, resulting in impressive performance while maintaining an eco-friendly stance. At its heart lies a 90-kW electric motor powering the rear axle, delivering instant torque of 184 lb.-ft. from a complete standstill. The electric motor's energy is harnessed by a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, meticulously optimized with a cooling system using refrigerant gas to ensure peak performance is sustained. The electrification process includes regenerative braking, which captures and stores kinetic energy in the battery, enhancing overall efficiency. To further personalize the driving experience, the Hornet R/T offers three distinct driving modes—Hybrid, Electric, and E-Save—enabling drivers to tailor performance and fuel consumption to their individual preferences.

When it comes to charging your Dodge Hornet R/T Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, convenience and choice are at your fingertips. You have two versatile options to suit your needs. First, the standard Level 1 charging cable included with the vehicle offers flexibility, allowing you to charge your battery using a standard three-prong 120V outlet. While it takes approximately 7.5 hours for a full charge, it provides the convenience of charging almost anywhere. For those seeking faster charging speeds, the Level 2 option is the way to go. With an available Level 2 charger, you can fully charge your Dodge Hornet R/T Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle in about 2.5 hours (professional installation is recommended). Dodge offers a weather-proof Level 2 240V wall-mounted station, ensuring rapid and efficient charging. What's more, you have control over the charging process, allowing you to choose the charging speed when your vehicle is plugged in.
To make the transition to Level 2 charging even easier, Dodge has partnered with Qmerit to facilitate the installation of your PHEV Home Charging Station. Certified technicians are available to schedule installation at your convenience, ensuring a quick and hassle-free process.
