Re: Max mileage from a charge. Real world?

220-230 miles from a 100% battery in the winter. 270-280 miles from a 100% battery in the summer. This from an iV80 with heat pump.
Still on ME2 as I can't find a dealer within an hour's drive that can install ME3 (!)

Re: Tyres...... Winter and 21"

Just saying my honest opinion. Wheel size is like manhood size, does it really matter? Smaller wheels have the lowest consumption, thats all I care about. Smaller wheel & tyre combinations provide a noticeably better ride quality, are less expensive to buy, less likely to aquaplane in heavy rai...

Re: Mis-selling of enyaq and ev in general

I felt cheated on 2 or possibly 3 important, related aspects. 1) Paying £440 for 125kW fast charging. In 20,000 miles we have seen 125kW once, in the south of France at an ambient temperature of 24C. In the UK, our normal charge speed on DC fast chargers has been 57-64kW. That's a huge difference. 2...

Re: Pets (or Kids) and Seat Covers

Orvis car seat covers and passenger footwell filling blocks are the Rolls-Royce standard. Ours fit perfectly in the Enyaq.

Ideal, if you can find them.

Re: Charge from solar???

When people talk about charging from solar, what exactly is the configuration they are referring to? A cool sunny day might give you 3-4kW peak from PV panels. Are you somehow able to route this directly to the vehicle? Can you prevent other sources - grid, battery storage - chipping in as well as ...

Re: Full charge only shows range of 250 miles (Enyaq iv 80)

Over 20,000 miles in our iV 80 with heat pump, we average 280 miles range in the summer and 230 miles in the winter. This is just driving normally for us, which means 55-60mph on A roads and 65mph on motorways. If it rains heavily and there's standing water on the road, then the range on that journe...

Re: Cleaning - Proteus alloys!

Hi Ian, Our car came with 20" Vega wheels in silver. They're not great either. We now have the 19" Regulus tyres fitted with winter wheels too. The car rides much better on the 19" wheels and the Regulus wheels are much easier to clean. To make the process even easier, I have coated t...

Re: New Wheels

We bought the car with 20" silver wheels and summer tyres. For winter, we went for the Skoda 19" Regulus wheel & Pirelli winter tyre package, as this is so much better value than buying everything separately. The car is much happier and better riding on the 19" wheels than the 20s...

Re: Choice of tyres...

Our car came with the 20" wheels and tyres. Ride quality, especially secondary ride quality, is firm and okay but certainly not great.
We are now on the Skoda supplied 19" winter wheels & tyres. This set up is so much better than the 20" set up in terms of ride quality.

Re: Charging in france

Hi James, we've travelled to Poiters, Bordeaux, Carcassonne in the very south west and Reims. By far the most useful app we have found for France has been Chargemap. No surprise, as it's a French app. It's much better than Ionity/Skoda Powerpass for setting routes and far better for finding chargers...
