Hello fellow Skodians. I hought I would start this thread, as there seems to be quite a few either taken ownership, placed orders or just thinking about getting the best ev out there.
So, any questions that someone may be able to answer, any good or bad dealings with dealers, specs wanted or received, perhaps someone could help others in their quest

Yeah I mentioned it further up the thread that the current Beta eliminates all the press the button nothing happens errors with preheating.
My son and I were laughing at the battery on these Enyaqs it’s pathetic whilst putting screenwash in. I get it doesn’t need high CCA but still what they fitted is pathetic. If it were my car I’d replace with a decent battery a good stop start battery.
Having said that mines only 6 months or so old but touchwood not a single issue.
The biggest issue is the insistence of manufacturers to keep the 12v subsystem with a battery designed in 1859. Add on to that waking the entire car up to get SoC etc it’s a disaster waiting to happen IMHO.
I’m not using the beta version of the app and have never had a problem preheating my car. It warms up quickly anyway when I have forgotten to do it.
Remote warming came in handy this morning, I was out at 6.30am, it was minus 5c. I started warming the car at 6am it it was totally de-iced and warm by the time I left.

Maybe it’s to do with age of the car or you’re on different servers but it’s a very well known issue where you hit the switch and it does stuff then just fails and it can do that many times before it finally goes thru. Haven’t had a single issue since.
It could also be that beta has since been released so most are already on it without knowing as that version is no longer beta. Glad it works OK for you but it doesn’t for many and that is a good fix. Yes car warms up quick but then you’re waiting for ice to melt, seat to heat up and steering wheel to get hot at 7am when it’s below zero getting into a warm car is much nicer than getting into a cold car that warms up quick.
Can’t heat the feeling of jumping into a ready toasty seat not to mention of course that the battery is also heated up to operating temp too reducing cold weather range.
It is good to hear people who haven’t had an issue at all too.
Thanks all. Had done it via the Ohme app when plugged in but have now found how to switch on manually or schedule a plan when not plugged in from the MySkoda appx.
Hello. Unfortunately I am going to contact Motability tomorrow and arrange to hand back the Enyaq.
Got it in October last year, it’s an 85x sportline.
Lovely to drive and very comfortable. The major downside is the range. We travel from Cumbria to Manchester 2 or 3 times a month and it is costing a fortune!
I will caveat this with its great locally.
It has averaged 2.5kwh over the course of our leaseship! Yesterday I had to charge it twice for a 260 mile round trip, this cost £68 using motorway services fast chargers. I got home with 13% left and decided enough is enough.
If you use locally it’s great. If you sit at 50mph on motorway I’m sure it’s great but it’s not for us.

Something not adding up there, if you left home with 100% it would cost you about £34 to get home with 10ish% charging at 0.85p
Be interesting to hear how your Enyak fairs this weekend when the cold snow comes down heavy.
Not driven mine in the snow but miles per kWh was shockingly dreadful this week!.
I fully charged it after getting back from a cruise, range of 230miles. I then drove 21 miles over the next 2 days, couple of local trips, one 12-14 mile round trip. When I did my readings I noticed that the guess o meter said the range was only 169 miles?, that’s a drop of 61 miles for driving only 21!.
As I have to be out this Tuesday morning to take my daughter to a hospital appointment (about 90 miles round trip) and the weather was forecast to be horrible until then I put it back on charge Saturday morning. To bring it back up to 100% took 21kWh, so that’s an average of only 1 mile per kWh !!!!! Never had it that low, when starting off in cold weather it struggles to get above 2 but usually with a bit longer drive it’s around 2.5 – 2.7.
I’ll be keeping a very close eye on it Tuesday morning!.
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
What’s probably not adding up is I was doing 78 to 85mph with heated seats and wheel on and temp set at 24. Not sure how much this affects consumption but it was like watching a timer seeing the % go down by the minute! Its been the same every journey, usually costs £50 in charging but assumed as it was 3degrees yesterday it got even worse

Surely it’s still cheaper when you take into account the local miles you do and the fact it’s the absolute worse time of year, miles per KWh is only going to improve as the warmer months approach. We did a 220 mile journey in September and had over 100 mile range when we got back.

Somethings not right there charge on a 260 mile round trip? Is that all motorway driving?
I was regularly driving from North Norfolk to Birmingham for son to visit girlfriend and I was driving there, out and about and home. I stopped for a charge at Kettering which cost me £30 back to 80% but only charged that much as I was eating I could got away with much less I only needed about 40% at that point with a safety margin.
I put the cruise control on and sit in the slow lane mostly move out if speed drops below 50 but otherwise let the car drive itself. It’s nearly all dual carriageway esp after Peterborough and motorway
We regularly do here to theme parks for the teens as have merlin passes that’s 150 miles I do there and back to derby without charging then charge overnight on a 7kw charger for peanuts and go back for second day then home without another stop
Same with Thorpe Park there and head back stop at Royston to charge for under £20 just enough to finish the journey.
I surprised you need to charge at all on a 260 mile return journey unless towing or using a roofbox. Is that in bad weather conditions? Do you use the journey starts at time on the car as it not only heats the interior it heats the battery so you get good miles per kwh from the start.
Sorry it isn’t working for you but I’m really surprised given our experience in our 85x on long journeys
EV’s consumption increases dramatically as speeds rise. Added to that the cold weather and the use of climate control will also have a knock affect with range to some degree.
Tootling down the motorway at 56mph in with HGV traffic, where wind resistance can be offset to some degree, is different to travelling at 80+mph, although I do know where the op is comming from not wanting to sit a 50mph down a motorway.
@kezo i haven’t been down the motorway recently but mid October i drove 99 miles set at 70mph, car driving itself and used 31%, the car was regularly doing around 60-65 behind other cars etc.. but i was impressed either way.
im expecting 200 miles if i drive on the motorway now in this weather and it was obvious to me when picking the ioniq 5 that id get a huge drop in winter mixed with motorway driving, but choosing an EV then driving 85mph in snow is obviously not a great idea
i had to laugh, sitting at 70-85 on the motorway with the temp at 24 and heated seats and steering wheel on.
you must have been crispy by the end at least well done.
no wonder you had to charge twice where did you think the power was coming from?

that’s my issue pal. Why should I freeze my ass off at 50mph! Not for me this electric lark!

You’re just being a fool, 24 is hot, 21.5 is plenty warm enough, why would you even need heated seats and steering wheel after first 5 minutes especially when you’re baking in 24 degree cabin.
Sitting at 65-70 will use probably 30% less power than 85 and 65-70 will get you to your journey 10 mins later.

You’re going to have to move to EV eventually, I’d adjust my driving habits and get used to it.
Also, what ICE car are you going to get with a similar AP of the Enyaq from last year? Not much choice and certainly not the level of equipment, heated seats, heated steering wheel, sat nav, auto remote tailgate, adaptive cruise, rear camera, etc etc etc.Enyaq EV
this is why the ap’s are going up idiots getting electric vehicles not doing the homework first and then wingeing about the range when it the drivers own actions that are half the problem.
you cant drive an electric car the way you do an ice. not if you want to get even close to the declared range and everyone by now should know the manufacturers range of any car is bo**ocks.
i dont change till may26 but i am already researching cars to see if they would be an option at the right ap.
i only do 100 miles a week but wont consider any electric with less than 250 real world range, that way i should only have to charge once a fortnight and even then there needs to be some chargers built around here to use as i cant get offroad parking to charge at home. so at the moment electric and phev are out.
I’ll wait til it’s enforced I think mate. Its bad enough I thought it would do 328 miles per charge to then see real world is 214 to 240 and in my real world lucky if I’m seeing 150-170 miles. No amount of gadgets makes up for the dire range of this thing. Like I said, if just using locally it’d be fine.

Done lots of research pal. Expected 275 miles despite manufacturer claiming 328.
The issue is they should say that if you want to get top end of range then you must not go over 60mph and wear a blanket type top whilst driving it for 6 months of the year.

Thing is I’m not at all interested in getting 30% extra by piddling about with the wagons in lane 1.
@dobbo212 what wagons are doing 65-70 ?
Also why would you need a blanket at 21 degrees and heated seat used for first 5 mins whilst cabin is heated to 21.
You said you did your research and knew the real workd range was lower but you thought you could do 85mph and heat the cabin to 24 and still get the real workd range.
You did no research or you’re an idiot
I’m currently doing a 240 mile round trip twice a week and only charge at home on IOG at 7p Kwh. Mainly A roads at 60mph and Motorway at 70mph, I use ACC and all the safety systems, all of the time! I’ve never felt the need to public charge as yet. I’m probably getting 270 miles at 80% charge so pretty good in this cold weather. I use the heated seats & stearing wheel ALL of the time with AC at 21deg. I’m well satisfied with the Enyaqs Electric performance and wouldn’t go back to an ICE.
I do have a Heat pump & pre condition before my journeys!
I just love the car & recommend it as a future car to anyone considering going EV. I have the 85X Coupe Sportline Plus with 21″ alloys on Perelli Scorpion tyres.

Well the Enyak has got me thru the 4″ deep snow and wet snow slush,been using sport mode which is 4×4 drive,i have noticed coming off main roads onto side roads the rear end does get a little twitchy,this might be the Bridgestone tyres.
@Solymar those Pirelli tyres you have are they “winter tyres” ?
