According to train line £130, 3 changes of train and 6 hours 34 minutes. But then I would need to add taxis to and fun the site outside Kidderminster that I was travelling to (the site wasn't in a bus route) so I reckon you could easily add another £80 for that.

There's a lot of variation, with a non-Tesla in the past month I've paid 89p at Aviemore, 62p at Perth, 43p at Larkhall and 52p at Gretna

varies by location and time of day even if you are a Tesla driver, you need to check the Tesla app to see what the price will be. They're generally the cheapest though as they use profits from car sales to be able to sell power below cost.

On the Tesla app for Tesla or on the electroverse app if I am using that

yes Tuesday afternoon, I have no idea what the issue was as the traffic cleared and there was just nothing to see

those were the ones I thought of but that whole area was gridlocked deep red on on the sat nav and on google maps. Quicker just to go to Ionity

@@Jollops apparently there's an issue with electroverse on their chargers 🙄

@@schwallobert it's using a product called obd11, not it's a workshop mode, lasts for 5 minutes and you need to have the bonnet open. To use it for longer causes side effects (no idea what they are) and it's not good for the car. Škoda told me this recently in Mladá Boleslav.

@@mr.wizeguy8995 yes we have the most expensive electricity in Europe 😭

​@@enyaq_gormwe've had fourteen years of conservative government, that's what happens.

@@mr.wizeguy8995 Just for example, the grid charge for a single DC charger to have power connected to it is roughly £1,000 per year. On the last 12 months the charges have been increased by hundreds of percent. So we get those costs passed on to us as motorists.

@@grahamguest142 and before that new Labour which was conservative in all but name and before that years of Thatcher and Major. 🤷

@enyaq_gorm the Blair brown govs were pre electrification but still took global warming seriously, our wonderful new government is head and shoulders above the last one in pushing EVs and building the new smart grid required, hell, they've even recognised crewcab diesel pickups in the budget, so that'll be another filthy killer off the streets 👍

my bladder determines the stops more than any planner. I nearly had to change my trousers before I reached that first Tesla charger :-)

@@Pelham22 hi, I've got the 85 Edition. I don't really notice the roof feum the driver's seat, same as when I had a tesla. It's the rear passengers who notice the most. Only had it since July so not experienced a full winter yet but there's been no noticeable difference so far

@@paulscott1759 agreed. Part 2 coming soon and it didn't go to plan either, but due to traffic holdups not the car or the chargers.

Mine is single motor. My old car (a 60) used to do 3.6 to 3.8 on this type of trip.

@@3rd_Rock yes model year 25 cars have ICAS 5 module and that needs 5.x software. So you will have remote lock and unlock via the app. Older cars do not.

@@ConradSmith-w8h no the bag is an accessory you can buy. As for the self locking it depends on the model. I have the 85 Edition and it locks and unlocks as you walk away or approach the car.

@@enyaq_gorm hiya.whats your first name.mine is Conrad.I have 2024 74 plate Estate SUV Skoda Enyaq,does that help a little.Its my first electric vehicle.thanks for being helpful

@@ConradSmith-w8h does the spec of your car include the auto unlock, or are you asking if your car had the feature? Or are you saying it used to work but now it doesn't?

@@enyaq_gorm it used to work but doesn't now.how can I tell if the car has done the latest updates.i think on my my Skoda Enyaq app it says 7.6

@@enyaq_gorm I'm in process of buying a tech wizard Pro you advertised on your site are they has good has they look

Close.... £27.80

Bargain for 120 mile ...

@@simplysimon966 full battery gives me 330 miles usually for under 5 quid so the odd expensive charge is OK. Plus it was a work trip so on expenses

@@enyaq_gorm your dreaming, 330 miles lol. I have owned an Enyaq from sept 21 and its never ever said it could achieve 330 miles other than in the manual. Thats on its best day with an ambient temp of 21 deg. Go tell someone else

@@enyaq_gorm fantasy . I have an Enyaq and have done 78k in it. It never ever achieved a mileage what it supposed to. Cost you £5 to charge it on the company, you wired to lamp post? your dreaming mate absolutely dreaming. I do 150 miles day and at 69p per KW on a fast charger. Cost £33 quid to get 190 miles the other day and trouble connecting it up. You must be on the pay roll.

@@Servanus771 I believe 5.1 is now shipping with new cars

@@enyaq_gorm thank you for replying so quickly - will the dealer upgrade it to the 5.4? Or will this happen automatically OTA? Thanks in advance

@@Servanus771 who knows? The newest cars should update OTA but there are conflicting stories and rumours right now

@@enyaq_gorm thank you - I’ll let you know once I have the car

@@enyaq_gorm I picked my 85 up last Friday and it has version 5.2

@@annakissed3226 thanks Kate

@enyaq_gorm I was wondering not so much for the likes of you & me. But for the bigger EV TH-cam channels like Transport Evolved... When is Skoda going to be releasing their version of the ID Buzz GTX i.e 4/AWD & LWB? As I can see a TH-cam creator, creating a production truck & camper van conversion in one

@@annakissed3226 as far as I know they're not doing other versions of the buzz, that's purely a vw thing

@@notel09 it is. The 3.x cars are updateable OTA and the newer cars are too.

@@Chesterflaps the way they explained it to me was that when new hardware is introduced that needs new software, that's when a new version number comes out. There's no point in putting the software for the new hardware on a car that doesn't have it. They could just tell us the software version is the same but they're being very public about the numbering. I used 5.2 in the Elroq and I could see no difference as a driver between that and 4.0 on my car. Of course there are differences behind the scenes due to different hardware but I can't see them as a driver. It's like my phone, I have a pixel 9, my wife a pixel 6. They both have android 15 but the newer phone can do different things. If Škoda did the software they'd have different version numbers

@@enyaq_gorm I mean more about 3 to 4. I'm not bothered so much in the background but how it looks. All phones get the same looking and functioning software (to a point) but skoda changed the entire look of the software with 3 to 4. Personally I think they should create a software which works on all hardware rather than leave everyone behind. Just sounds like poor management.

@@Chesterflaps again, 4 was introduced for the new icas hardware built into the 2024 cars. The 60 didn't get the new hardware so didn't get the 4.0 software needed for the new hardware. I actually find the 3.x easier to use on the move, b it's bigger, bolder, clearer. You need to take your eyes off the road for longer to find things on 4.0. It looks different but I find it's not as well suited. Prettier but that's not what's important in my opinion.

@@Chesterflaps and my son's Motorola phone has an older looking software because my Google phone has newer now powerful hardware. Both still android but mine is more updated. Škoda could have frozen the hardware and only brought new hardware when they replace the enyaq but that would be less optimal.

@@sixtyseven3337 who knows what will come in perhaps 3.8, 3.9 etc etc

@@markthomas7104 mine came from the head of customer experience. He said it in front of the CEO and a load of other senior staff so I'm fairly sure it was accurate. But it was 4 weeks ago so who knows they may well have changed their approach to software in that time.

@@enyaq_gorm It sounds like the information that you have is correct. If course if you take your car to a dealer and they upgrade the hardware needed to go to 5.4 it might be possible but would Skoda do that for free? I can only think if there is a case to simplify customer care Skoda might want to do it but that it would be unlikely. As you have said we will have to see. I am on 3.5 so it will be interesting to see when I get 3.7.

@@markthomas7104 according to what they told us 5 was introduced for the version 5 hardware so it's no use without the hardware it's meant for.

Yes I have fitted Michelin Cross Climate tyres both to this car and my old one.

@@enyaq_gorm are they winter tyres?

All season bit they're winter rated with the M&S marking

@@enyaq_gorm if you have to choose a summer tyres what would be?

Not really sure. I've used these ones for years on all my cars. The hankook tyres the factory fitted on my old car were hard wearing though.

Agreed. I just wanted to explain that I'm not lying and not trying to generate click bait as some fellow Enyaq owners have accused me of.

but that's the opposite of what Skoda said when we met them in MB. I pushed Eric on this point and he was clear, 3 is for the original Enyaqs. 4 is for the 2024 cars with Icas v4 and 5 was introduced when they changed the ICAS module. SO what Matthias has been told is the opposite of that. I asked Skoda when I saw his video and they said they don't know anything about it. I hope his source is correct.

@@enyaq_gorm yes, strange. The best for is that doesn't concern me anyway 💁after almost 3 years i've got an oldtimer. Fancy isn't it?

Matthias is another youtuber not a journalist and he's got sources at Škoda too. I don't like being called a liar though.

@@twtubeify octoverse gives discounts on many networks. Ionity subscription or tesla subscription give better discounts on each of those networks.

@@teanau11 it depends on your use. Next week I have a 300 miles trip, 600 miles round trip so if I want to limit the cost then I might want to maximise efficiency. Same as in a diesel car I might want to know how to drive as efficiently as possible

@@enyaq_gorm I understand your idea But I think EVs just like any other cars, comfort go first. And enyaq 80/85 range is more than enough After all, you will stop midway to take a rest, go toilet, and have a cup of tea.

@@teanau11 yes but not everyone has an 80/85, some will have the 50 or 60. And sometimes you will be in areas where there are not plenty of places to stop and charge. I often go to Northern Ireland and. believe me, it can be a challenge.

@@enyaq_gorm you’re right, sorry I’m bit overreacting.

@@teanau11 no, you make a good point which I always make, the range of the driver is usually shorter than the range of the car 😂👍

@@TW-abc true!

@@ElGingeee excellent! It's a great car. I really miss the lounge interior and the head up display.

@@markleeming1786 why not just use Google maps or waze? Or get the fault fixed? Seems a bit odd to lose money swapping a car when you could get the fault fixed.
