Ignore the haters! A helpful video thank you, showing if you drive normally and sensibly, what the range is. It doesn't stop you from racing off at the lights etc, or doing 75 on the motorway, that just comes with reduced range. I think if (ICE) people weren't so critical about range, there would be less of a need for these videos
@@adamhartridge7539 absolutely. I found videos like this really helpful before I bought a Nissan leaf in 2017 so just started doing the same. This morning I've driven at max speed to Aberdeen in a storm and left without being fully charged. Hopefully that addresses the points made by @enyaq007 😂 video coming soon
Impressive to be getting those numbers, nice to know it can be done. I'm about 4m/kWh in my wee iD3 but I know we don't drive as carefully as we could. The iD3 is our first EV and we have never had range anxiety and haven't problems public charging. Can't wait to get the bigger Enyaq 85, also in race blue!
Great drive and commentary my ID5 is normally about 3.5 local runs only so far for the 128 kwh motor on a 77 kw battery ,i will have to adapt my driving style perhaps
I use the speed limiter on my Enyaq 60 as some speed signs are covered, and you can easily be done for speeding. I've put mine to MPGe as I'm still more used to seeing MPG, and also I can compare it to my diesel car. I also don't have the driving mode, but then I don't think I need it that much. Good video, one thing I found on my Enyaq is I can be using Google maps and it will point out it has a better route and then put me on the Skoda satnav.
Great video interesting and well presented. Ive Just got an 85 x, how do you get the split screen with map on one side and battery information on the other. I've been like a dog chasing it's tail round and round.
@@enyaq_gorm thanks for your help. Sounds as if I've not been pressing it long enough. I updated to the latest software and noticed that occasionally for no reason the car will change the speed limit it thinks the road is ( crouse control not set) . Aprently some people have had the car suddenly break while on crouse control. Have you had any problems? Also impressive miles per kWh best I've managed is 4.7 though I loose efficency with twin motors.
@@thetourk never had any issues, the car will slow to match either speed limits or junctions etc. If you look for the ymbol of a foot lifting off a pedal that is the car telling you that it has enough momentum to reach the nect roundabout/ junction/ speed limit change etc. I got 5.1 m/Kwh on my commute this morning! 😀
@@thetourk that's eco assist. works really well and if you look you wills ee a symbol on the dash indicsting wen to take your foot off the throttle. Never had any issues on cruise other than when a badly positioned speed limit sign on a slip road is spotted bythe car, but it brakes quite gently, nothing like the emergency stops I used to get with my Tesla when it spotted shadows from bridges and thought it was a barrier across the motorway. That was scary (and dangerous)
@@enyaq_gorm most 9f the time when the symbol comes on I've already got my foot off, and used the paddles for regen. I can see the road ahead better than the system. When I first picked the car up the salesman said it doesn't show the level of regen, the update sorted that out. The problem I had with the screen was a typical dyslexic trate missing that it needs to be on the home screen. Honestly sometimes I wonder where my head is at lol I have to use a mains charger I bought from amazon. My landlord refused to have a proper charger fitted to the house, it's the original 1950s wiring so not upto code in the slightest. On medium setting 10amp told me 27hrs for a 60% charge. I've run an extention lead of the cooker circuit as it's the only one that I can trust to take the power. So i upped it to 12amp just over 50kwh took 17hrs 40 mins. I don't intend to use public chargers as they are extortionate. Though I might have a look at the tesla chargers 43p kwh
Older enyaq (80) has the beep as an option as well. If you’re doing the adaptive CC it’ll slow down for the corner as well… (and that’s been what’s told me to turn before - “why is the car slowing?” “Oh, I’m turning right here”
@@JohnR31415 adaptive cruise, as shown in the manual, it's for motorways. Shouldn't be slowing for slip roads really, and those are the only turnings on motorways 👍
Hi Good video, at 7.10 you say car regen was quite high but you had gone past 30 signs and still doing over 40, was it because it picked up on that sign and braked?
Thank you. Very useful. Sorry, never driven an EV so apologies if these are dumb questions. When you say at around 13min, “the cars taking me back down to 30mph”, does that mean you’re in one of the cruise control functions? And if you apply regents to slow for a bend perhaps, do you have to knock it back afterwards or does the car do that for you.
@@ianwilson2968 no it's not cruise control, it's adaptive regen, the car tells you when to take your foot off the throttle as it's got enough momentum it because there's a bend. You can ignore it and use brakes instead if you prefer but it's less efficient and therefore costs you money. Cruise control is meant for motorways so I use it there and not on A roads
Ps, no such thing as stupid questions, the whole reason I started the channel was to help people get used to EVs and reassure them that they're not that hard to live with.
@@enyaq_gorm thank you. I’ve clearly got a lot to learn. My Q8 does the lift the throttle advice in the dash but probably not as proactively as Skoda system.
I seem to think using Cruise Control (say at any speed between 20mph to 60mph) is more economical than not using the cruise control at the said speeds. What is your view on this EnyaqGorm??? Assuming driving conditions are good, weather is good, on an A Road etc
the manual states that cruise control is for motorways so I keep it for those roads or use it in traffic jams. But in general I can see what's ahead better than the car can and I can decide how much power to use, when to ease off etc eg because I can see cars ahead slowing down before the car has got close enough to factor those in. It is always better to not use ower in the first place than to use it and then regen a small proportion of it.
@enyaq_gorm I'm sorry I've not been clear enough here. When I use the cruise control, I'm always looking at traffic ahead in anticipation and either tap the brake lightly to let the car roll, or engage the paddle shift regeneration to recoup energy. Regarding the cruise control, i leave that on, assuming i have a clear road ahead (country road, low traffic etc). So again, my intended question was, which do you think is more economical for maintaining speed without any interference? Cruise control or lightly pressing the accelerator???? The manual probably suggests not using cruise control as it might be less safe generally for the average driver, or even elderly. For me, it's not a problem, on the contrary, i find it interesting in a geeky way! I look forward to hearing from you EnyaqGorm
I drive in b mode all the time and it costs me 2.5p a mile and at 14p per kw,i know you get a cheaper rate of electric in Bonnie Scotland but n.ireland electric prices are far more expensive.My old diedel was averaging 12p pm.Still can't believe the saving

@@danum.wheelz it really depends how you drive and on weather, same as any car really, you can't say for sure. But I'm averaging 4.1 miles per kWh so 4.1 multiplied by 77. But if I read on a long motorway trip I'd get less due to speed. The X will probably do less due to the extra weight of AWD

@@shogunpxp if you drive it exactly to the test conditions then you'll match the figure stated in the brochure, same as your petrol car would only give the advertised Mpg if you drove in the exact same test conditions. How come a new car had racked up over 300 miles before delivery?? 😱
@@shogunpxp ah ok you mean the guess-o-meter? That is not a fixed number any more than it was in your petrol or diesel car. It is the comouter guessing how efficiently you will drive in future based on the last 50 miles or so. If you are driving gently on a warm dry day on a flat road with no wind then you will get a higher figure than if you are thrashing it uphill on a wet motorway into a headwind and on a road with lots of standing water. If you want to know how much you have "in the tank" then it's the same as your old fossil car, look at the fuel gauge only now it's show in percentag rather than an analogue needle with a red warning light.

Hi, is there any way to engage the front parking sensors without pressing the park button? The front parking sensors only work when park is pressed. 85 edition and its only 1 week old.
Thing is, because banging £30 worth of 4 star in your tank is 2nd nature to most, they forget that blasting between A & B, uphill and down is also less efficient, but they're not reminded of it. "oh I need to get fuel because the needle is in the red" is all they know. I'd love an EV, but as a retiree, can't justify the expense atm.
My son inherited my dad's 1.2 Škoda Fabia. £75 to fill and it does 43 mpg. £400 to service every 12 months. My car costs £5 for 330 miles and under £200 to service every 2 years. The fabia is way more expensive to run. Way more.
Has anyone had any issues with the wireless charging in the enyaq. My phone turn itself off because it overheated. Its a iPhone 14. Did the same to my wife's Samsung, both new phones
Doesn’t happen to me and it’s been charging for a while. Sounds like something is off on your phone. The charger only emits power. The phone decides how much power it draws and heats up.
Sadly, I'm getting one as a company car. As a petrolhead it's truly sad to see where cars are going these days, no more performance, handling or any fun stuff to talk about. Range is the only thing that matters. Probably I get killed out of boredom before it needs a recharge.
@@stevedemeulenaere7154 where to begin? When I drive a petrol car the performance is so much more sluggish and basic. Range really really isn't an issue any more. But it's the thing which worries people who do not yet have an ev and so I make these videos to ease concerns. For performance and handling you probably don't want any big family suv, the kind of fuel it uses is totally irrelevant, a diesel or petrol Škoda Kodiaq you would dislike just as much. Be grateful you have a company that pays for your car, most of us have to find the money ourselves. 💵💵😎🤷
Like I said several times in these videos, I don't worry about range, I just drive. But people who don't have EVs do worry about range. I'm just explaining that the car has tools to make sure you don't need to worry. Of course I could drive it like I stole it and ignore speed limits but that's not how I drive any car, ev or fossil fuelled.
