I had this after market one fitted by my dealership from new - Škoda don’t have an official one.

PHEV - charge every night on low cost tariff. Combined 80 mpg. Approx 60% urban 40% motorway. Tank of fuel lasts a long time as all local motoring is cheap / free due to electric battery & solar panels. Consumption on PHEV best in hybrid mode on A road cross country journeys - regularly >105-110 mpg on 25-30 mile return trips. With no battery, motorway usually returns circa 55mpg alone which is still impressive for petrol engine given size and weight of car. Hope this helps.

This is mine - for phev estate - ordered with car from dealer and fitted by dealership. It has some velcro underneath to prevent movement and slides / lifts out.

Can anyone help me - took new delivery of PHEV 1 month ago. Battery care was set to 80% charge. All fine . Went on long trip. Turned off and charged to 100%. Despite turning battery care back on via setting , car now asks me every time to switch back on despite resetting in settings, have checked app and that is set to 80% too. Anyone else had this issue or any ideas for getting car to remember settings ???

I put my dash cam underneath in the centre - it was just long enough for that - i guess it depends on placement -see pic

I have this gareth one and it works for my next base

MK4 seems web connected - have app working and paired - Internet radio displays no stations anywhere and is unable to pick any up - would like to listen to some stations online due to poor dab signal in places - what am I missing? Anyone else managed to get it to work?

Ordered mid November 2024. Car built week 1 March 2025. Expected delivery week 1 April 2025. Roughly 5 months

Worth remembering PHEV has significant additional weight of the battery

I ordered mine early november in dealer allocated factory slot - was due to be built week 3 Jan 25 for delivery mid February- just been informed delivery will now be mid April 25 - 2 month delay - circa 5-6 months from order

thanks!

What do you think this will do to pre 2030 PHEV residuals ? Any speculation?

Just read the Daily TelegraphArticle on Govt consultation announcement (released christmas eve ) Seems many popular hybrids will be banned from 2030-2035. Questions For the wise on here - 1) would the 1.5 TSI PHEV be caught be this ? (I ordered one a month ago!) 2) Not sure what this will do for residuals ?! (rare fruit ? / unwanted vehicle ?) Thanks! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/12/24/best-selling-hybrids-to-be-banned-from-2030-under-net-zero/ Best-selling hybrids to be banned from 2030 under net zero crackdown Strict limit on CO2 emissions would mean popular models can no longer be sold Matt OliverIndustry Editor 24 December 2024 12:23pm GMT Some of Britain’s best-selling hybrid cars will be banned from sale after 2030 under a net zero crackdown proposed by ministers. The Government favours a strict limit on CO2 emissions that would mean popular new hybrids made by Range Rover, Ford, VW and Nissan could no longer be sold. In consultation documents published the day before Christmas, the Government confirmed plans to allow some new hybrids to remain on the market for five years after a ban on pure petrol and diesel cars comes into force. However, the proposed emissions limits are stricter than expected and would mean that swathes of popular vehicles have to come off the market. The proposal is meant to prevent a situation where some petrol and diesel cars would be banned while some existing hybrids that are more polluting remain on sale. It would limit emissions to 115 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre, potentially ruling out sales of many “mild” hybrids – those that have electric motors but cannot use them to travel significant distances – as well as a smaller number of plug-in ones. Models that would face bans under this rule include the mild hybrid versions of the Ford Puma, Range Rover Evoque, Nissan Qashqai and VW Golf, among several others, analysis by the Telegraph suggests. The true impact could be even larger because emissions ratings for most plug-in hybrids today do not reflect their real-world performance and are set to be updated. In many cases the true emissions of plug-ins are 243pc higher, according to the Government. If emissions figures are revised up higher in the coming years, many more models will come off the market. Another option for limiting the sale of hybrids include imposing CO2 limits on manufacturer fleets, where averages taking all their models into account would be used. The consultation comes in the wake of a row between car makers and the Government over the controversial zero emissions vehicle (ZEV) mandate, which aims to boost sales of electric cars. Under the mandate, the share of electric vehicles sold by car makers must gradually rise from 22pc this year to 80pc by 2030. Former prime minister Rishi Sunak had pushed back a full-blown ban of petrol and diesel cars until 2035 but in the run up to the summer election, Labour promised to bring the ban back to 2030. Ministers had always planned to ban “pure” petrol and diesel cars. But there had been confusion until now about what that would mean for hybrid cars, which can partly run on electric motors, before a full ban on all combustion engine cars comes in 2035. In the consultation published on Christmas Eve, the Government said it favoured a policy where hybrids would be explicitly allowed from 2030 to 2035 but with a limit on carbon emissions. It has also put forward options for relaxing parts of the ZEV mandate, for example by allowing companies that beat their targets for electric vans to be given more leeway on their electric car targets, and asks manufacturers for ideas to boost demand for EVs. Heidi Alexander, the Transport Secretary, said the automotive industry had been “stifled by a lack of certainty and direction”, adding: “This government will change that. Drivers are already embracing EVs faster than ever, with one in four new cars sold in November electric. “Today’s measures will help us capitalise on the clean energy transition to support thousands of jobs, make the UK a clean energy superpower, and rebuild Britain.” Mike Hawes, chief executive of the Society for Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), which represents car makers, welcomed the consultation. The SMMT has estimated that car makers are currently being forced to discount EVs by more than £10,000 per car to ensure they sell enough to meet their ZEV mandate targets. Mr Hawes said: “The automotive industry welcomes government’s review of both the end of sale date for cars powered solely by petrol or diesel, and possible changes to the flexibilities around the Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate. “These are both critical issues for an industry that is facing significant challenges globally as it tries to decarbonise ahead of natural market demand. “Aside from the billions invested in new technologies and products, it has cost manufacturers in excess of £4bn in discounting in the UK this year alone. “This is unsustainable and, with the 2025 market looking under even greater pressure, it is imperative we get an urgent resolution, with a clear intent to adapt the regulation to support delivery, backed by bold incentives to stimulate demand. “Such action will support not only the industry, but also deliver for the economy, consumer, government and the environment.” On Tuesday, a government source stressed there was no “set position” on hybrids yet and that officials remained open to feedback from car makers. A Nissan spokesman said: “Nissan remains committed to a fully-electric future and has consistently supported the aims of the UK’s ZEV Mandate. “We welcome the consultation announced today and look forward to continuing our work with the UK Government to support the future of the UK automotive industry and help more people to make the switch to EV.” Advertisement How to cram the very best of Europe into a seven-day cruise Read more A VW spokesman said: “We welcome the publication of the fast-track consultation and will engage in the process.” A spokesman for Jaguar Land Rover, which owns Range Rover, said: “We welcome the Government’s decision to bring forward this consultation and work closely with the automotive industry. “We are working through the detail and carefully analysing the implications, and will respond in full.” Ford was approached for comment.
