Introducing iV
For ŠKODA, electric vehicles are more than just cars with an alternative power source. They open up an entirely new chapter in our 125-year history. This is also an opportunity to introduce you to the world of environmentally friendly iV label models and their fully connected ecosystem, making eMobility as straightforward and convenient as possible for you. And that’s just the beginning. By 2025, we will offer five fully electric vehicles. Expect more fun, less emissions, more possibilities and less restrictions. Join us on our journey into the future!
Get to know the different types:
Electric Vehicle (EV)
An electric vehicle (EV), also referred to as an electric drive vehicle, is a vehicle which uses one or more electric motors for propulsion.
Mild hybrid electric vehicle (mHEV)
In-between a conventional petrol vehicle and a full hybrid. A mild hybrid uses a smaller battery, and a motor-generator that can both create electricity and help boost the petrol engine’s output. Mild hybrid vehicles aren’t capable of all-electric propulsion.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV)
Combination of conventional hybrid electric vehicle (electric motor, internal combustion engine) & all-electric vehicle (plug to connect to the electrical grid).
Battery electric vehicle (BEV)
Type of electric vehicle that uses energy stored in rechargeable battery packs for propulsion.
What to consider?
Costs
Filling-up the ‘tank’ isn’t such a burden; charging a battery from empty to full costs a lot less.
Emissions
All-electric vehicles produce no tailpipe emissions, so the CO2 output of your daily commute = zero.
Journeys
Both the driving range of electric and charging locations across the UK is always improving.
Aftercare
Fewer parts than a petrol or diesel engine vehicle make servicing easier.
Driving
When you put your foot down, the acceleration is instantaneous, for more responsive driving.
Financing
Currently, the government offers grants for car buyers making the switch to electric.
Charging
A growing network of superfast public chargers add to workplace and home charging options.
Savings
Driving electric or hybrid offers reduced car tax (VED rates and Benefit in Kind for business drivers).
