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