Range anxiety if you get diverted? Not in a Skoda Enyaq iV60

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

What happens if you're on a long trip but something forces you on to a long diversion? Can the smaller battery Enyaq, the iV60, cope?
On a recent trip from Rugby to Livingston that is exactly what happened, late at night in the Scottish Borders.

    Thank you for your videos, we took delivery of our iv60 at the beginning of December and have done 1700 miles in it so far. Mostly my wife doing short local work trips in it and we have only charged away from home once when we went away for Christmas and topped up at the amazing Gridserve Electric Forecourt at Braintree that had 12x 350kw chargers plus others - look it up. Saw on Twitter yesterday afternoon that there were 20-30 electric cars queuing for a charge at Gretna. If it is a 40 mins charge each it would be around 3-4 hours before some began charging. Luckily poster was in a V12 so charged up in about 3 mins. Keep up the great work with the videos, gave us the confidence a longer journey would be OK. HNY

    Hi This is interesting. I am doing research before buying Kia eniro 2020/21 or mg marvel lux 2022 but this Skoda has me interested with this sized battery. What is real life range on 110kmph motorway between 10-80% ? If you also have city consumption I’d appreciate that!

    It's interesting that you have 60kW battery, what was your thinking about 60kW vs the 80kW when purchasing? Have you found any points when you wish you had the larger battery?

  • @enyaq_gorm

    @enyaq_gorm

    Жыл бұрын

    The thinking was that my previous cars had 22 kWh (Renault) , 38 kWh (Nissan) and 50 kWh (tesla) batteries so 58 would mean the car could continue for longer than I could. So I knew that the smaller battery would be fine and I couldn't afford the bigger battery anyway. Not once have I regretted it.

    If it's a short trip how do you know it will only do 120 miles? What's your efficiency showing? Multiply that by your battery size to get actual range, the number on the dash is a guess only.

    Yeah, that was shocking. Just a bloke with cones saying "it's shut". No signposted diversion, nothing. I'll bet the contractor was signed up(and paid) to provide a diversion though.
