I’m wondering if perhaps that feature is part of a pack that you don’t have?

Travelling at 150 kph is going to drain your battery fast regardless of what size you tyres are.

^^^^^ that’s good to know. Thank you.

I think they are 235/50/20 I've only looked on mytyres for tyre prices so far and 20” tyres started from around £150 I think.

I just watched this via the Facebook group. A good video and I’ll confess it’s made me feel better about not getting the 100kwh charging that I wanted. I genuinely thought the Ionic would charge MUCH faster than the Enyaq.

^^^^ thank you for that.

Oh I don’t doubt that, but I’d be charged ridiculous money for them. It’s just shy of £1100 for a set of 19’s from ŠKODA. as long as the fit is ok, I’d be confident of getting nicer looking wheels far cheaper elsewhere. whoah, not sure how this double post happened

Have any owners bothered looking into this? Are the wheels on the Enyaq the same as any other alloys? I ask due to the large drum brakes on the rear so maybe they are a unique offset or something. I wanted 19” wheels for my car but unfortunately the only one available had 20” rims and the difference in price between 19” and 20” tyres is huge. For regular use it wouldn’t be an issue but mine is going to be a taxi so I’ll be going through tyres pretty quickly.

I am not worried about the running the Enyaq as a taxi in the slightest. Cab companies have been running 1st gen Nissan Leaf’s as taxis for years and their batteries are only just over half the size of the Enyaq’s. I also know a guy who uses a Nissan eNV-200 to do parcel deliveries in and he swears by it. He delivers for one company in the mornings and then another company in the afternoon so he’s put putting a fair mileage on it. I looked on EV-database at Kia E-Niro figures before deciding on the Enyaq. They are similar size and weight with the Kia having a slightly bigger battery and based on those figures, I was happy to take the chance with the Enyaq.

To be honest I left the taxi trade last October due to covid killing it, but talking to a few mates who stuck at it, they are saying it’s back now and stronger than before due to a lot of drivers (like me) leaving the trade. my plan is to do about 60 hours a week and the mileage will be I guess about 120-140 miles per day. I plan to install a home charger but I haven’t got round to that yet, so when I do, I’ll be starting every shift with a full charge. If I work a particularly long day and find myself running low on charge, there is a 50 kWh charger in the town where I work so I can always pop on that for 30 minutes or so. Location wise, I’m down in South Wales.

Hi guys, new to this section but not new to Briskoda or indeed Skoda’s in general having owned an Octavia and three Superbs in the past. I should be taking delivery of my Enyaq 60 in about a week and a half to two weeks time and I’m really looking forward to getting it. It will be my first foray into electric car ownership. I’ve had a quick look and I hope I haven’t missed it but I didn’t see a thread with real world range. Anyone care to share what sort of range they are getting and what sort of driving they are doing to get that range? I’ll be putting mine on as a taxi so as such the vast majority of the driving will be stop start short journeys, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to eek out decent mileage to a charge. Cheers, Ivor.

I picked up an American chap from the airport and we got talking Teslas. I told him id love one for my next taxi but was worried about battery degredation and he told me a Tesla with 300K on it had been tested in the US and the battery had only lost 3%. Sounds pretty encouraging to me.

I don’t think it would. The car has done 6000 miles and the service indicator is saying that it’s next service is due in 9300 miles. That’s 15300 miles total if he services the car at the indicated time. That’s less than the variable service mileage, and all cars leave the factory the same. It’s up to the first owner wether they want it set to fixed or variable when collecting it.
