Dodge will stop making gas-powered cars in 2024 in order to make way for electric vehicles.
Dodge Brand CEO Tim Kuniskis shed some light on the timeline in an interview with Motor Trend. The first electric muscle concept car will be rolled out in 2022, followed by a plug-in hybrid vehicle and a mysterious third vehicle.
During a July event covering electric vehicle strategy, Dodge announced it would produce an EV in 2024. Dodge will not sell electric cars, but will sell eMuscle, which is apparently Dodge branding for its future EVs, according to Kuniskis. The first eMuscle cars will be produced in the year of 2024.

The fate of the company's internal combustion engine vehicles was not revealed at the time. As the company shifts resources to EV production, they will be phased out. The cars that you know today will be out of production by the year 2024, according to Kuniskis.
The Fratzog logo was first used by the company in the 1960s and 70s. The deltoid is made of three shapes and has a three-pointed star on it. The new version is three-dimensional and has lighting.
Dodge plans on making electric versions of its vehicles, including a battery-powered Ram 1500 that would compete with Ford's upcoming F-150 Lightning. Jeep, Chrysler, and brands from the PSA Groupe are also producing EV.
It is not clear how muscle car fans will react to the news that their beloved engines aren't long for this world. Many electric sports cars boast of quicker 0–60 times than most gas equivalents, and this is because of the fact that they are powered by EV. The absence of sound as they accelerate is what distinguishes them.
