I have a Enyaq iV Sportline 80 (Sep 2021) and the max charging power that I have every experienced is about 65kW. This was on a long run in Spain at 25C using a newly installed 350kW charging station with no other cars charging. I believe the car’s max charging power is 125kW.

 

This link (https://skodamedia.com/releases/1458) leads me to believe that the updated Škoda ENYAQ 85, 85x, and vRS models (2024 onwards) feature a maximum DC fast-charging power of 175 kW. The same is applicable to the ELROQ. However, when I use the Škoda website’s ‘Build your own Škoda’ both the ENYAQ and ELROQ are listed as having a max DC charging power of 135kW.

 

Is anyone able to confirm what the max charging power is of both ENYAQ and ELROQ coming off the production line now?

 

If it is 175kW, then the ‘Build your own Škoda’ section needs updating.

 

What are users of ENYAQ Sportline 85 2024 model and later experiencing regarding charging power during summer months and during the winter months. Does anyone achieve the 10% - 80% charge in 28 mins as mentioned in Škoda Electric Car Charging Speed Calculator | Škoda UK?

 

Many thanks.

@Badger49 was your 2021 Enyaq an early one & have to have the software update to allow it to charge up to 125 kW and not limit it to 100 kW?

Hi Evolution13,

Yes it had the major software update, but this did little to improve the charging power. My local Skoda dealer also investigated and nothing untoward was found.

The charging curve sent by Stonekeeper indicates the peak DC speed is 135kW. At https://evkx.net/models/skoda/enyaq_iv/ the Skoda Enyaq 85x is shown as a max charging of 175kW. Is this the charging rate for new Enyaq Sportline 85 coming off the production line?

This curve from fastned shows a different story. Speed is subject to many variables too. Like charge level when you plug it in, too cold or too hot (Battery temp not weather).

Do you sit there watching it? Because it will start low then ramp up and iff you don't watch it could be slowing down when you come back so you don't see the higher speeds

https://www.fastnedcharging.com/en-gb/brands-overview/skoda?model=Enyaq%20iV%2080%20%2F%2085

Sad that it is, I do watch it. The 65kW charge was when the battery was at 10%, it was 25C, I had been driving for over an hour prior to starting the charge, the charging station had 10 x 350kW chargers and there was no other car being charged. So I guess that would be perfect charging conditions.

I take part in EV car rallies both in UK and abroad, I I see how slow my charging is compared to others, eg. Kia, Mercedes, BYD, etc. Charging speed is the driver for me to buy a new Skoda Sportline but I need confirmation that the max charging power is 175kW.

I cannot see how that can be done with the enyaqs curve it would need 120kw charging for the full 28 minutes . Assuming 10% is 8kw and 80% is 64kw = 56kw delivered in 28 mins (56/28x60=120)

If 82 kWh battery capacity, then 10-80% is only charging 57.5 kWh sort of thing, and a little loss. Or some might say, 77 kWh Usable, 70% is 53.9 kWh.

The 28 mins 10% - 80% comes from Skoda's own Škoda Electric Car Charging Speed Calculator | Škoda UK.

I too cannot believe the time stated by Skoda with a max charge of 135kW.

The bigger the battery the faster the speed needs to be to get to the 80%. The Enyaq 60 therefore could be argued charges faster 10 to 80 is around 42kw 42/28x60 only needs an average speed of 90kw.

@Stonekeeper thanks, but things are what they are. Real world. i have been driving BEV,s for over 7 years and using all kinds of chargers and watching how poorly some charge. Be that small batter cars of big ones. 100 kW max charge speed batteries on 150-350 kW chargers that might only give 80 kW max at around 10% battery in idea conditions. Even under 50 kW. Then 50 kW CCS DC chargers giving from only 12-26 kW. PITA when there is a 40 or even 60 minutes max charging time.

Because of the varying sizes of batteries, when looking at the speed it's best to think of miles added per minute. if 60kw charging = 1kw = 4mile per minute. When sat in my enyaq i have seen the screen say charging at 8 miles a minute but not for long.

Many many BEV,s Guestimate the Available range as charging or fully charged at the Figure WLTP quoted, 5 miles a kWh or like my MG which is always 4 miles a kWh. Even though maybe i was getting 2.4 or 3.1 miles a kWh. My MINI Electric quoted as 5 miles a kWh as the 32 kWh battery charged.

Many thanks for all the info on charging rates.

My question still remains, what is the spec for the charging power of a new Enyaq Sportline 85 - is it 135kW (as stated on the Skoda build your own webpage), or 175kW?

Many thanks.

Both is the answer

Skoda storyboard MY26

All variants of the new Škoda Enyaq support high charging rates: up to 165 kW for the Enyaq 60 and a maximum of 175 kW for the Enyaq 85x.

Hi Stonekeeper

Many thanks for the update. Hopefully the charging rate for the Sportline 85 is the same as the 85 or 85X Coupe.

Just needs a charger giving out what it can and not affected by ambient temps low or very high or grid or transmission issues, and vehicles battery at optimum 30*oC or what ever.

They are two different cars

As above, the 85x is faster charging than the RWD.

Based on a few YT reviews I watched before mine arrived, the 85x is 'more different' than the 85 than just an extra motor. I wish I could remember the exact differences they gave, but it's something along the lines of a newer generation of battery / controller. I got the impression that in typical VW Group fashion, it's purposely kept vague because it would upset their hierarchy of brands / models.

Many thanks for your response. I ordered the Sportline 85X yesterday. 😀

I need fast charging than my 2021 Enyaq Sportline iV 80.

Now just waiting along with many others. 🤨

I'd like to see someone drag an 85 and an 85x, I don't believe they're the same 0-60, I know it doesn't matter, but the fact they're claimed the same irks me ha ha.

Oddly, they have the same 28m 10-80% charge time regardless of DC Kw rate listed.

I'm looking at either an Elroq, or Enyaq as my first EV and the charge rate for me is going to be a deciding factor. If the charge figure of 10-80% in 28 minutes at max 135Kw is correct, it'll save me a grand to opt for 2wd

Edited 16 April16 Apr by mrderv

If you do not need AWD and to put on appropriate tyres for Winter / Snow then no need to go AWD. But then the 2WD can need All Season or Snow tyres depending on where it is you drive. They are a lump of a motor to get places if the traction is poor, even getting out of a muddy car park / field or a snowy one.
