Another really interesting, real driving, video. Really enjoyed it. Pretty impressive consumption figures and I love the Charger Icon on your screen. I wish my EV had such a thing. Looking forward to the return trip.
You totally messed it up by using different measures. 8:45 Enyaq: 3.4km/kWh, 44 mph, 22% battery EV6: 17.4kWh/100km, 70 kmh, 22% battery It's like mixing different languages, as in, "How can ひと compredre 널 if you 섞어 measures?"
@voelkela I think it is the only possible comparison, my friend has the 77 kWh battery because that is all that is sold in this country. There is no 58 kWh EV6 here.
8:45 is the Enyaq but 8:57 the EV6? Why different units between the cars or what are the real stats of EV6? EV6 seemed to charge more kWh at Ionity, so this is very confusing - especially if you start with 75 % but charge to 80 %. 🤔
Sorry that's my mistake! Both of those are the enyaq, one in m/kWh and the second in kWh per 100 km. We started at 75% and at ionity recharged to 80% on both cars. Because the enyaq has 58 kWh battery and the EV 6 has 77 kWh battery the amount of electricity needed will vary between them.
Which smartphone holder are you using? I find the design interesting, is it attached to the back on the infotainment screen? This would be better than the airco phone holders.
Really interested to know more about the automated driving assistance on your Enyaq. Right now I have a 2016 Skoda Superb with radar adaptive cruise control and it also has a degree of assisted steering. The adaptive cruise is brilliant, although when stopped in a queue at traffic lights for example the engine will turn off. When the traffic in front moves off the engine auto restarts but the car does not move off unless I give a quick pull on the cruise control stalk to resume the previous set speed. It sounds like the Enyaq has improved on that. The auto steering in the Superb is a bit hit and miss - there is an icon on the cockpit display that toggles from green (active) to amber (inactive) based on whether the car can detect the road and verges properly. On the motorway it is pretty good but on local roads it switches on and off to frequently to be reliable, and of course if you hold the wheel too lightly for too long you get a loud bing and a request to "take over steering". Does the Enyaq work the same way or is there a much needed improvement. Can't decide on which way to go for an EV at the moment so sitting on the fence, plus I've only had my Skoda 18 months.
It sounds like the enyaq has improved on that system a bit since it auto starts again when the traffic moves, no need to intervene, but obviously if its can't see the road markings clearly enough it will hand control back to the driver. As you can see from my video it even handles roundabouts with auto steering. If the road is clear as you approach the roundabout though it will go a bit too fast round it for my liking. But Škoda do say the system is intended "mainly for highway" driving.
I have ordered an Enyaq (our 5th EV) without ACC and matrix lights; I wish I could have excluded lane assist as well. I do most of my driving on small unmarked county roads where I consider these auto driving systems to be positively dangerous - concentrate on your driving I say!
can you do a kia e niro 2 64kw v enyaq 60 range test please. These are the only two worthwhile that come in under £32000 UK government EV grant. Would be interesting to know.. Please can you also scrap the rapid charger test and use 7kw and 11kw 3 phase.I'd really like to know how many miles you get off each of the free-to-use charger types. How many miles off each will I get if I go from zero to an hour timed charge state while shopping in the supermarket??
Hi. I can't test against specific cars, I'm not a car journalist just someone whose friend has a kia 😁 As for the slower chargers that is really easy. You will put 7 kW on every hour or 11 kW every hour. To work out how many miles that is you multiply 7 or 11 by the economy you're getting. This week on urban commuting I'm getting 4 miles per kWh (so 7x4 or 11x4), but if it's cooler, wetter, I've got a head wind then it will be less, a tail wind might mean more. Too many variables there to make a meaningful video. I might do one that explains this though as it probably is a mystery to people not used to driving electric. It's a bit like asking how many miles will I get if I fill up with 20 litres? The answer is always "it depends"
In the video you say that the Skoda only charges in a quick mode when the battery is below 20%? How that works? For me is a big problem. Thanks for the video, nice test!
It's the same for most cars, the rate of charge is determined by how empty or full it is when you start. If you start with quite a full battery then the charge rate will be slower To get the maximum on a rapid charger you need to start at a lower charge. On the enyaq of you start at 20% or lower them you'll get the maximum rate possible. If you start at a higher rate then it won't be quite as quick. All batteries behave in a similar way. As the battery fills up, the charge slows anyway, the same in your phone or computer.
@@bernardolatinotavares9876 that depends on the charger, how warm your battery is, etc if you look at fastned they publish charging curves for all EVs. That will show you the enyaq is actually good in holding quite a fast speed for longer than some other cars. But every EV gets the fastest speeds if you start fun a lower state of charge. This is only for rapid charging of course. If you plug in at home or at work then you will just have a constant 7 or 11 kW

Interesting video ! I don’t know if you have Assisted Drive Plus or Basic but Skoda have temporarily removed Traffic Jam Assist on the Basic version. So no auto driving when the car in front pulls away. I’m collecting my Enyaq this week and have been advised they had to remove this function :-(

Ah this is going to be so much more polished than my video !
Hello, if with 50% battery I need to charge 20kw in a ultrafast charger, how much time it will take?
Do you think that's the best selection for a fair comparison (58kWh vs. 77kWh, where a 58kWh version of the EV6 would be available as well)?
@voelkela I think it is the only possible comparison, my friend has the 77 kWh battery because that is all that is sold in this country. There is no 58 kWh EV6 here.

It would be good if you could do a test like this against an ID 4.
If I knew someone with an id4 then I would be happy to do the test but I suspect they'd be more or less identical
