By / 3 years ago / UK News / No Comments

Škoda has introduced DC fast charging as standard across its Enyaq electric SUV line-up, enabling drivers to charge at up to 125kW.

The upgrade means drivers will be able to significantly cut charging times when using the new generation of higher-power DC rapid chargers currently being installed in the UK

The upgrade, being introduced now for new orders of the Enyaq, means drivers will be able to significantly cut charging times when using the new generation of higher-power DC rapid chargers currently being installed in the UK.

It applies to both new Enyaq iV 60 and Enyaq iV 80 models and means that buyers of the 60 can charge at up to 120kW while those choosing the 80 can charge at up to 125kW as standard. Previously, both models had a maximum charging rate of up to 50kW as standard.

This cuts the 0-80% charge time for an Enyaq iV 60 using a 120kW charger from 55 minutes to 35 minutes. For the Enyaq iV 80, the time is reduced from one hour 10 minutes to 38 minutes with 125kW DC charging.

When fully charged, the new Enyaq iV 60 delivers a WLTP combined range of 255 miles while the Enyaq iV 80 has a WLTP combined range of 336 miles. The 80 SportLine model has a WLTP combined range of 330 miles.
