  • Dodge Brand CEO Matt McAlear will join us with the all-new 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack electrified performance vehicle —the next generation of American muscle. Expected to reach 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and run the quarter mile in an estimated 11.5 seconds, the Dodge Charger Daytona retains its title as the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car, delivering supercharged V-8 performance with zero tailpipe emissions and instant torque response. It will start arriving in dealerships later this year, but you can see it here first.

• • Where today’s car shoppers and dealers stand on electrification
• 9:15-10:15 a.m. – The Current State of EVs Panel Discussion & Q&A (Presented by CDK Global)
• • Join us for a dynamic discussion about the evolving EV landscape with representatives from Cars.com, ComEd, and Powering Chicago. The panel will be moderated by Rob Duffer, President, Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA).  
• 10:15-10:30 a.m. – ComEd News Conference & Presentation

• • ComEd will announce its new Point of Purchase EV rebate program, a collaboration with car dealerships and EV stakeholders to help make obtaining a commercial fleet vehicle even easier. The Point of Purchase EV rebate leverages ComEd EV incentive programs announced earlier this year, to deliver an instant discount to qualifying customers in the market for commercial fleet vehicles, giving customers more certainty around upfront costs, instead of waiting to qualify for EV incentives after providing proof of purchase. ComEd announces this new customer benefit in partnership with local auto dealers and with participation from various EV manufacturers.

    Through the Point of Purchase rebate, ComEd aims to help additional businesses and public sector customers move forward with their fleet goals—including transitioning to heavy- or light-duty vehicles, electric school buses, or other cars and trucks used for businesses purposes – which will help reduce emissions across our communities. Getting more zero-emissions fleet vehicles on the road is also an essential part of accelerating widespread EV adoption in Illinois and reaching the state’s goal for achieving 1 million driving by 2030.
