Hello all. 
I’m back after a 5 year Skoda break!
Previous Skodas were a 2006 Fabia vRS and a 2008 Octavia Estate L&K but I’m now taking the plunge into the electric market with a new leased Octavia iV.

So I’m a bit confused about the claimed power output from the motors individually and combined. I understand the concept of the hybrid setup it confused about this. The 1.4 petrol engine is claimed to output 148bhp, whilst the electric motor appears to be rated at 112bhp but combined they only produce just over 200. Am I reading this correctly?

Not that I’m a spread freak but are started performance figures for both working in conjunction? What happens when the battery is depleted? Presumably acceleration is down on the stated figure? 
I can’t find any performance figures for the car in pure electric mode either.

Any help greatly appreciated.

cheers.

 

You are correct. The combined output is less than what it could be on the iV. It does not use is full potential when combined. EV mode was about 110bhp.

 

On the other hand RS iV, gets the 245bhp with the same 1.4 petrol and i believe the same electric motor.

 

The battery is about 13kWh with 10kWh usable capacity. Even if you'd have empty battery (no EV range) it can still output full power since it always keeps some reserve. Of course if you floor it for 10 minutes, it might lower the output something.
