Škoda Electric Car Battery Technology – What You Need to Know

Thinking about switching to an electric car but not sure how the battery works? Don't worry—it's easier than you might think! Škoda’s electric vehicles (EVs) are designed to be simple, efficient, and convenient, making the switch to electric driving smoother than ever.

How Do Electric Car Batteries Work?

Instead of using petrol or diesel, electric cars run on powerful rechargeable batteries. These batteries store energy, which powers the electric motor and gets you moving—without producing any emissions. They also provide a quiet, smooth drive and require far less maintenance than traditional engines.

How Far Can I Drive on a Full Charge?

The range of an electric car depends on the size of the battery, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The larger the battery, the more miles you can drive before needing to recharge. For example, the Škoda Enyaq iV has different battery sizes available, so you can pick the right one based on your driving habits.

Charging Your Škoda EV

Worried about running out of charge? Don’t be! There are plenty of ways to keep your car powered up:

  • Home Charging: Install a charger at home and wake up to a full battery every morning.
  • Public Charging: Thousands of charging stations are available across the UK, including rapid chargers that can give you a quick top-up.
  • Workplace Charging: More businesses are installing EV chargers for employees, making it even easier to keep your car ready to go.

How Long Does a Battery Last?

Škoda EV batteries are built to last. They come with a warranty for 8 years or 100,000 miles, meaning you don’t need to worry about replacing them anytime soon. Plus, electric car batteries are designed to keep at least 70% of their capacity even after years of use.

What Happens to Old Batteries?

Electric car batteries don’t just get thrown away! They can be recycled or repurposed for other uses, such as storing solar energy. This makes EVs an even more environmentally friendly choice.

Are Electric Cars Safe?

Absolutely! Škoda’s electric cars undergo the same safety tests as petrol and diesel cars. Plus, in the unlikely event of an accident, the battery system is designed to shut off automatically to keep you safe.

Is an Electric Car Right for Me?

If you want a quieter, smoother, and more eco-friendly drive, an electric car could be perfect for you. They’re cheaper to run, require less maintenance, and help reduce emissions.
