Switching to an electric vehicle (EV) is a smart move, offering environmental benefits and potential cost savings. Understanding how to charge your Škoda EV is straightforward, and with various options available, keeping your car powered up is easier than ever.
Charging an electric car is just like charging your phone—you plug it in, let it power up, and you’re good to go! Depending on where you are and what charger you’re using, the time it takes to charge can vary.
The best way to keep your EV ready to go is by charging at home. Installing a home wall box means you can plug in overnight and wake up to a full battery every morning. It’s easy, convenient, and costs much less than filling up with petrol or diesel!
Out and about? No problem! There are thousands of public charging points across the UK, with more being added all the time. You’ll find them at supermarkets, shopping centres, service stations, and even on some streets. Many rapid chargers can top up your battery in as little as 30 minutes, perfect for a quick break on a long journey.
More and more employers are installing EV chargers at work, making it even easier to keep your car powered up during the day. If your workplace doesn’t have one yet, it’s worth asking them about it!
Charging an EV is much cheaper than filling up with fuel. Charging at home is the most affordable option, especially if you use an off-peak electricity tariff. Public chargers vary in price, but many still cost less than petrol or diesel for the same mileage. Some workplaces even offer free charging for employees!
