Luckypants; I have discovered that by turning the left hand silver coloured wheel on the steering wheel, the volume can be increased and it then remembers that setting for the next call. Pity that information didn't make the Handbook !!!

Thanks for your fast reply Luckypants. No, I haven't as I assumed that there would be a volume control which could be set to apply to all calls. When you say use "the volume button on the infotainment to increase the volume", where does that volume button appear and is it only available during a call ?

Hi All; Still working to get the best out of the gadgetry in the my Enyaq 60 Loft. However, I do have an issue that I hope someone will be able to help with: I'm hard of hearing and although I can adjust things like Navigation Announcements etc on the 'Settings' menu, I am finding that the volume of incoming mobile telephone calls is very, very low (although apparently I am loud and clear at the other end of the call). Is there a way of boosting the level of volume of a mobile call ? Can't see anything in the Handbook. Hope you can help.

Collected my Enyaq on Monday. It has the direct current option. Having obtained the VIN number I was able to complete the App registration and have received confirmation that y card is on its way. I will provide an update when the card arrives.

Hi All; Collected my new Enyaq today ! Yippee ! Used the VIN number to open a Powerpass account successfully. The application shows a map with locations of nearest charging points, although seemingly only those in the scheme (which appear to be beyond the Ionity network. However, no indication of the charging rates . However, the separate https://www.skoda-auto.com/other/powerpass-tariff-information shows that charging at Ionity sites should be at 25p per kWh and the DC charging (my Enyaq has DC charging facility) at non-Ionity sites should be £0.35 per kWh. I will see if that happens and will report back !

Thanks. Interesting to hear how you use it. Yes, I suspect that your back up use reflects the relative availability of the various networks. It will be interesting to see how or if the Iinity network develops in the UK. In terms of Powerpass, it is just one of several backup networks. It's just a pity that Skoda aren't promoting it more.

I don't actually disagree with anything Luckypants says. I certainly don't believe that being in a rural area should mean that the £ charging cost per kWh should be any higher than elsewhere and in fact the Ionity rates are the same whether the charger is located in a rural or urban area. I would agree that sensible use of my home charger plus occasional planned use of "public" charging points should enable me to get on OK - in fact my house has solar panels and as I work from home I anticipate enjoying "free" electricity much of the time ! My original post, however, was more to do with the lack of information from Skoda UK and Skoda Dealers about the Powerpass scheme. If EVs are to be encouraged it is important that there is easy and transparent access to information about charging options as this will allow "range anxiety" to be reduced.

Thanks. I think that the view that although the Iinity network may be sparse and relatively expensive, it is extremely fast and is a useful back up if other networks fail.

Maybe that's because those marques are promoting the availability of the Ionity network ?

https://www.briskoda.net/forums/profile/86161-e-roottoot/ Hi Roottoot; Thanks for the comments about Ionity in Perth. As mentioned before, I am fortunate enough to have an Ionity Charging Point in Leeds and if Audi can get it right in Perth then why can't Skoda in Leeds (they are the same Group) ? As regards TESLA, they are the best-regarded charging network in the UK and have just announced that they will also be making their network available to allcomers. So if all these companies are trying to encourage EVs, why can't they jointly promote their charging networks as a way of encouraging EV sales ?

Thanks Xtopher; I think that your comments demonstrate the disorganisation I referred to in my original posting ! My dealer (I am collecting the Enyaq on Monday) made no reference to the information you referred to in the first sentence of your reply. I was just fobbed off with "Download the App". As mentioned earlier, I am aware that the Ionity network in the UK is way behind our Continental cousins but nevertheless they have "rolled it out" as demonstrated by https://www.skoda-auto.com/other/powerpass-tariff-information but it fails to properly explain what is available (as exemplified by 'e-Rotttoot''s comment). This is a real pity as Skoda have a real opportunity to promote a cheap charging option in response to comments about deficiencies in the Charging Network and their lack of clarification will not do much to convert the anti-EV lobby ! I am aware from web searches that others have navigated this minefield, but would have expected better from a company I have bought from in the past (3 x Yetis and 1 x Octavia) and which is promoting their EV credentials !

I guess I am lucky that I opted for 100kWh charging then ! However, it is a matter of concern that this facility is so poorly advertised (and so poorly understood by dealerships) ! Incidentally, you might want to visit for a different perspective on whether 69p is "charging a fortune". You need to consider whether you would be prepared to pay more in a rural petrol/diesel filling station if you ran out of the fuel you bought in a supermarket in Chester, Wrexham etc ? At the end of the day, the cheapest option will be a residential charger but if you are stuck, I suspect you would be prepared to pay 69p to top up your batteries in the same way that you would probably be prepared to pay £1.70 a litre in a rural area for petrol (or more for diesel) to get you home ! Best Wishes,

P.S. Note that it states "the above tariffs are valid for a period of 1 year after purchase"

Hi e-Roottoot; As evident from your response, the situation is confusing to say the least. First click on https://www.skoda-auto.com/other/powerpass-tariff-information That will give you the option of 'Click to Start'. Click on that page and you will be ditrected to 'Select EV model'. Click on 'Enyaq iV'. You will be directed to 'Select Option'. Select 'DC Package'. You will be directed to 'Available Tariffs'. That shows the 'Charge Faster' tariff with zero GBP per month and £0.25GBP/kWh. 0,25 GBP/kWh

Hi All; Picking up my Enyaq in the next few days but the dealership seem to be very poorly informed about the POWERPASS feature. I think I have provided them with more information than Skoda and when I asked for information from Skoda UK I received no reply ! As I understand it, POWERPASS is Skoda's version of the IONITY network which is jointly owned by Mercedes, VW Group and others including some Japanese manufacturers. On the Powerpass tariff website (https://www.skoda-auto.com/other/powerpass-tariff-information) it shows that if you sign up to the Pass in the first 12 months of buying a new electric Skoda then you get free membership which then entitles you to a discounted charging cost (25p per kWh if charging with IONITY compared to the normal 69p rate). Now I know that IONITY's charging installations are as rare as hen's teeth in the UK, but as it happens their newest (ultra High Speed) charging site is in Leeds which is on my doorstep. Has anyone on here signed up to POWERPASS and if so, can they share their experience of signing on and using ?

Hi; In response to 'Cotswold', here is a link to an Enyaq-specific accessory featured on Ebay which should do the trick if you want the bumper protection to be pre-cut. Cost £14.50 including postage. S0rry ! Here's the Link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274834303285

Hi; I am awaiting delivery of an Enyaq iV 60 Loft. Can anyone confirm whether this model has regenerative braking, or is it only standard on the 80 ? Even the Dealer seems uncertain ! Heike
