Dodge Charger USB-C availability by generation

Most Dodge Chargers do not have USB-C ports. The sixth-generation Charger (2015–2024) uses USB-A ports in the front cabin and, on some trims, wireless charging. The seventh-generation Charger, introduced for the 2024 model year as a completely redesigned vehicle, offers USB-C ports as standard on all trims, along with wireless charging and multiple USB-A ports depending on the configuration.

If you own a 2015–2023 Charger, you have USB-A connectivity only. If you purchased a 2024 Charger, check your window sticker or owner's manual to confirm which USB ports are in your specific trim level, as port count and type vary by model.

Key Takeaways

  • 2015–2023 Dodge Chargers have USB-A ports only; USB-C is not available on these model years.
  • The 2024 redesigned Charger includes USB-C ports as a standard feature across all trim levels.
  • USB port location and count differ by trim level, so your owner's manual or window sticker shows exactly what your vehicle has.
  • Wireless charging is available on higher trims of both the older and new generation, independent of USB type.

2015–2023 Charger: USB-A only

The sixth-generation Charger, produced from 2015 through 2023, came equipped with USB-A ports located in the center console or dashboard. These ports support data transfer and charging for devices with USB-A connectors. On SRT and higher trims, the vehicle also included wireless charging pads for compatible phones, but the wired USB ports remained USB-A type.

If you have a 2015–2023 Charger and need to charge a USB-C device, you will need an adapter cable or a USB-C to USB-A converter. The vehicle's infotainment system does not natively support USB-C charging or data transfer.

2024 Charger: USB-C becomes standard

Dodge completely redesigned the Charger for 2024, and USB-C ports are now included as standard equipment on all trims. The new generation offers multiple USB-C ports in the front cabin, typically located in the center console and dashboard areas. This change aligns with the broader automotive industry shift toward USB-C as the standard charging connector.

The 2024 Charger also retains wireless charging on most trims and includes additional USB-A ports on some models, giving owners flexibility for charging multiple devices with different connector types simultaneously.

How to find out what your Charger has

The most reliable way to confirm your vehicle's USB port configuration is to check your owner's manual, which lists all connectivity features by trim level. You can also look at your window sticker (Monroney label), which was attached to the vehicle when it was new and itemizes all standard and optional equipment.

If you no longer have the window sticker, contact a Dodge dealership with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The dealer can pull up the exact build sheet for your car and tell you which USB ports were installed. This is especially useful if you are considering purchasing a used Charger and want to verify its features before buying.

USB-C adoption across Dodge's lineup

USB-C is becoming standard on newer Dodge vehicles as part of a company-wide shift in infotainment technology. The 2024 Charger is one of the first Dodge models to include USB-C as a base feature. Other recent Dodge redesigns, such as the 2024 Durango, also feature USB-C connectivity.

Older Dodge vehicles across all model lines—Challenger, Durango, and others—typically have USB-A ports only. If you own multiple Dodge vehicles from different model years, expect to use different charging cables depending on which car you are driving.

Wireless charging as an alternative

If your Charger does not have USB-C, wireless charging may be available depending on your trim level. Wireless charging pads work with any phone that supports the Qi standard, regardless of the phone's USB port type. This means you can charge a USB-C phone wirelessly even if your vehicle only has USB-A wired ports.

Wireless charging is typically found on SRT, Daytona, and higher trims of the 2015–2023 Charger. On the 2024 model, wireless charging is available on most trims. Check your owner's manual to see if your specific trim includes this feature, and note that the charging pad is usually located in the center console.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add USB-C ports to my 2015–2023 Charger?

Aftermarket USB-C ports and charging solutions are available from automotive accessory retailers. These typically install in the 12-volt power outlet or replace existing USB-A ports. Installation quality and compatibility vary, so research products carefully and consider professional installation if you are not comfortable with vehicle electrical work.

Does the 2024 Charger have both USB-C and USB-A ports?

Yes. The 2024 Charger includes USB-C ports as standard and also has USB-A ports on most trims. The exact number and location of each type depend on your trim level, so check your owner's manual or window sticker for specifics.

Is wireless charging the same as USB-C charging?

No. Wireless charging uses electromagnetic induction and works with any Qi-compatible phone, regardless of its USB port type. USB-C is a wired connection that transfers data and power through a cable. A vehicle can have wireless charging, USB-C, USB-A, or any combination of these.

What if I bought a used 2024 Charger and I'm not sure which ports it has?

Check the owner's manual that came with the vehicle or read it from Dodge's website using your VIN. If the manual is missing, contact a Dodge dealership with your VIN and they can confirm your vehicle's exact port configuration and trim-level features.
