Not very impressed with Skoda, cant get a straight answer. Spoke to the online chat service who referred me to my local dealer even though I had already told them that I had already spoken to my dealers who to use a “Faulty Towers” said “I know nothing”!
I have sent Skoda a text asking for clarification and will publish the reply. I just looked at the EV database site and they are showing the 85 available in several EU countries but not available in the UK. It may be we have to accept that the UK is pretty much at the back of the queue and that we get the 80 rather than the 85, although I do hope I will be pleasantly surprised.
