    The Benefits of Buying Electric

    Many motorists choose to make the switch to electric power for the benefit of the environment, but there are plenty of advantages for drivers too. For example, electric vehicles are cost effective to run and maintain, providing a long-term financial benefit, and because the electric motor produces torque instantaneously, you’ll enjoy swifter acceleration.

    Key Benefits

    • Better for the environment
    • Swifter acceleration
    • Cheaper to run and maintain
    • More convenient to own
    • Soon to be cheaper to buy or lease

       Mild-hybrid Mild hybrid cars are powered primarily by a combustion engine, with a small electric motor to provide support during acceleration. There is no zero-emissions range, and the battery is charged by the vehicle’s engine, so there’s no need to plug in.
      Plug-In Hybrid Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) are powered by both a combustion engine and an electric motor. They can run on traditional fuel, electric-only power, or a combination of both. Their zero-emissions range is usually up to around 40 miles, and the car must be plugged in to for the battery to charge.
      Electric Powered by a battery pack and electric motor, EVs have no combustion engine, and therefore produce no CO2 or NOx emissions. Range is typically 100-300 miles, and charging is achieved by plugging the car in to an electrical source.
      Hybrid Full or self-charging hybrid vehicles have both a combustion engine and a small electric motor, which offer support. All-electric range is very limited, with the motor primarily reducing emissions and providing a power boost. There’s no need to plug in, as the battery is charged by the engine.

      How far can I drive a ŠKODA EV on a full charge?

      ŠKODA EVs, like the Enyaq iV, offer an impressive range of up to 351 miles on a full charge, depending on the specific model and battery size. Range can vary based on driving conditions, speed, temperature and terrain.

      How long does it take to charge a ŠKODA PHEV or EV?

      At home, using a 7.2 kW wallbox charger, a ŠKODA EV like the Enyaq iV can take 9 to 12 hours to fully charge. At work or with public rapid chargers, you can charge from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes using a 175 kW charger.​​

      Can I charge my ŠKODA PHEV or EV using a standard home socket?

      Yes, you can charge your ŠKODA PHEV or EV using a standard three-pin domestic socket. However, this is the slowest method, taking more than 24 hours for a full charge. For faster, more efficient results, we recommend the installation of a dedicated domestic wallbox.
