Hi all, new user here after some (hopefully quick) answers before I sign on the dotted line. I just test drove a used Enyaq at a Skoda dealer and was almost ready to go for it until I saw the battery report:

First registration: 2022-01-22

Mileage: 67356 km

Residual Energy Content: 86%

Total energy charged: 16407.45 kWh

Charged DC energy: 1269.12 kWh

Share of charged DC energy: 7.74%

Total standing time: 1212 days

Standing time fully charged: 2177 days

Share of standing time fully charged: 179.54%

Three questions:
1. That 86% sounds low for 3.5 years and 67356 km. How bad is that, and if we look after it in future (charge to 80% etc) does that mitigate further deterioration?

2. What does that "share of standing time" figure mean, and how can it be >100%? Have they got something wrong or am I misunderstanding?

3. Given some of this uncertainty I want to confirm that this car definitely supports 125kW DC charging. Can that be looked up from the registration number somewhere? Research indicates it's on the cusp of the upgrade time, but I've nothing but sales person's verbal assurance that the 80's always have 125kW charging to go on.

Sales person was telling me that "86% is one of the best battery healths I've seen on an EV of this age" which doesn't ring true either. They said there was a car with 40km on the clock the other day with ~85% battery health and that was typical.

Looking for some reassurance that I'm worrying about nothing or else a warning to steer clear.

Thanks

No idea what else the sales person could say. They want to sell it.

I think that is really pretty poor.

Looks like it could need a new battery while still under warranty.

@domhnall might know more about the batteries and degradation.

That battery report seems off. It states 1212 days standing time (which I assume is time parked up) but standing time fully charged of 2177 which is the entire life of the car more or less. Either someone messed up the report (unlikely as its software driven) or someone has been messing about with the BMS stats IMO.

For comparison my 2021 ID.4 has 54376 miles (87000km) on it and I measure my battery SoH (by charging from 2% to 100%) to be 93%. 77kWh battery.

Some typos

but standing time fully charged of 2177 days which is the entire life of the car more or less

More in fact -- it's claiming almost 5 years on the life of a car manufactured in 2022 - 3.5 years ago.

Thank you, yes that's helpful and matches my expectations more closely. The fact that the dealer insists these are normal figures (and gave me an example) makes me very wary too. At best, I don't trust that they've carried out the tests correctly in which case it's an unknown quantity. At worst, they're genuine and the batteries in cars they're selling have regularly taken a hammering.

Can you get this data yourself off the car, or can only the dealer get it?

I think it's possible to get something from the OBD-II port, though I'm not sure how accurate it is.

Hi, wondering if you finally bought the Enyaq or not. i'm in a similar position where I found a second hand Enyaq (feb 2022) with 37.000 km. The SoH reported by the dealership is 92% which seems a bit low.

A searched for all used Enyaqs with a battery test done posted on Autoscout or Mobile.de and aggregated the following SoH data per mileage and year (only Enyaqs below):

BAT - KMS - YEAR - SOH

50 - 7.900 km (2024) - 97%

RS - 8.500 km (2025) - 97%

85 - 8.500 km (2024) - 100%

60 - 9.100 km (2024) - 97%

RS - 9.900 km (2024) - 100%

85 - 11.900 km (2025) - 100%

50 - 15.400 km (2022) - 94%

60 - 19.900 km (2021) - 96% 

60 - 21.500 km (11/2021) - 91%

80 - 26.700 km (2023) - 98%

60 - 29.200 km - (2022) - 96%

60 - 30.500 km (2021) - 96%

60 - 30.600 km (2024) - 97.1%

50 - 31.600 km - (2021) - 91%

60 - 31.650 km (2021) - 93.4%

50 - 34.400 km (2023) - 94%

50  - 34.400 km (2023) - 94%

60 - 34.500 km (2022) - 95%

60 - 37.000 km (2022) - 92%

60 - 46.800 km (2021) - 92%

60 - 52.250 km (2022) - 94% 

60 - 56.100 km (2021) - 94%

60 - 65.000 km (2022) - 92% 

60 - 75.000 km (2021) - 93%

60 - 92.000 km (2021) - 93%

80 - 93.000 km (2022) - 94%

60 - 143.000 km (2021) - 92%

80 - 155.000 km (2022) - 94%

60 - 178.000 km (2021) - 92%

80 - 268.000 km (2020) - 76%

How good or bad SoH do you think 92% for a 01/2022 and 37.000 km on the clock?

We didn't go for it. The responses we got from the dealership and Skoda's central customer service were evasive at best and perhaps even actively dishonest. No-one else I spoke to agreed that 86% sounded like a good result -- as your stats seem to indicate. The dealer's insistence it was "one of the best results we've seen" along with Skoda's refusal to say anything about what it would consider a reasonable battery life just made us look elsewhere.

We bought an Ioniq 5 -- Hyundai were by contrast totally transparent with us and we've been happy with our choice so far. It's a shame because on paper the Enyaq was absolutely the car we wanted.

Bump for @Tombaker1

Maybe of interest. I have no idea regarding your own post and question.

I was under the impression that if the SOH dropped below 87% of its capacity within the battery warranty period it has to be replaced, I’m sure it was 87 or 82 can’t remember exactly
