Pricing
Skoda has been forced to delete the Enyaq iV with the smaller battery due to component supply issues. This means it not starts at just under £41,000 for the cheapest version, which is far from the near £30,000 it originally cost. Spec for spec it still looks reasonable value though, but start adding option packs and the price can mount up.
By dispensing with traditional trim grades (it’s goodbye SE and SE L etc), Skoda is steering customers down the route of adding option packs to build their perfect car. It’s a system Porsche has used for years and while you can tailor your car like never before, the packs are expensive and often force you to have some kit that you may not need. Although there are a few single options such as a panoramic roof and tow bar, the vast majority of gadgets are bundled together. As a result, you can end up with an option bill that runs into five figures. We also worry what this might mean for resale values. While second-hand buyers will happily pay more for an SE over an S, they might just get confused by the myriad of options on the Enyaq and you could struggle to get your money back when you sell.
Running costs
With the 77kWh model will you'll be paying around £20 for a full charge at home on standard rate power. If you can make use of cheap-rate electricity, the cost of charging the 77kWh car falls to under £4, although you may need a few nights to achieve a full charge if you only have a four-hour window for cheap-rate power.
As with all electric cars, if you use public chargers, you’ll be paying a whole lot more. An empty to full charge on a 150kW bp pulse charger will be in the region of £30 if you use contactless.
