Range anxiety if you get diverted? Not in a Skoda Enyaq iV60

- What happens if you're on a long trip but something forces you on to a long diversion? Can the smaller battery Enyaq, the iV60, cope?
On a recent trip from Rugby to Livingston that is exactly what happened, late at night in the Scottish Borders.

Thanks for uploading these vids. I’ve just ordered an iv60.
Thank you for your videos, we took delivery of our iv60 at the beginning of December and have done 1700 miles in it so far. Mostly my wife doing short local work trips in it and we have only charged away from home once when we went away for Christmas and topped up at the amazing Gridserve Electric Forecourt at Braintree that had 12x 350kw chargers plus others - look it up.
Saw on Twitter yesterday afternoon that there were 20-30 electric cars queuing for a charge at Gretna. If it is a 40 mins charge each it would be around 3-4 hours before some began charging. Luckily poster was in a V12 so charged up in about 3 mins.
Keep up the great work with the videos, gave us the confidence a longer journey would be OK.

Thanks, yes I had an invite to Braintree earlier this year but it's about 400 miles away 😂 happy new year to you too.
Thanks for the nice and informative video!!
Would you mind share what kind of phone holder you have? Very much smart placement next to the infotainment screen i must say 😁👏🏼
oh this comes up on nearly every video, Miralink, but they no longer sell it 😞
@@enyaq_gorm hehe okay. Thanks for the quick reply anyway 😁
Thanks for your video. I've had my Enyaq for a little over a month and love it. Dream to drive, comfortable and spacious. I was wondering how you view your battery temperature? Thanks again.
I've done a video on that I think. You need an OBD dongle and an app, v either car scanner or ev notify are what I use.
Hi
This is interesting. I am doing research before buying Kia eniro 2020/21 or mg marvel lux 2022 but this Skoda has me interested with this sized battery.
What is real life range on 110kmph motorway between 10-80% ?
If you also have city consumption I’d appreciate that!
Hi, do you mirror your phone to the car screen? Is that a basic function of the Enyaq? or is ABRP built into the car?
It's android auto mirroring
Thank goodness the weather was dry while charging under NO COVER.
I'm Scottish. Skin's waterproof 🏴. I honestly don't notice the difference between those with cover and those without. I mean you're there for what? 30 seconds or so?
@@enyaq_gorm Maybe by the time charging Infrastructure catches up & overtakes EV demands, we will see sheltered charging stations.
@@johnhodge1263 we already have sheltered charging stations 👍 but since you're not really standing there for long (unlike a fossil filling station) it's maybe less of an issue.
It's interesting that you have 60kW battery, what was your thinking about 60kW vs the 80kW when purchasing? Have you found any points when you wish you had the larger battery?
The thinking was that my previous cars had 22 kWh (Renault) , 38 kWh (Nissan) and 50 kWh (tesla) batteries so 58 would mean the car could continue for longer than I could. So I knew that the smaller battery would be fine and I couldn't afford the bigger battery anyway. Not once have I regretted it.
@@enyaq_gorm thanks, lots of people talk about buying the biggest battery, so it's good to hear you've been happy with the 60kW
@@MatthewStanford51 bigger battery = more weight = less efficient. 240 miles is what it realistically does (not the 254 officially tested) and that means my bladder / fatigue dictates stops not the battery
Nice ..what’s the real milage you can get from enyaq 60 if you charge full 100% ????
200miles
All good info, shame about the extra hours of driving.
yeah was not the ideal end to my trip but at least I was in the best car I've ever owned :)
How do you use EV notify? There’s no option for an Enyaq 60 on my iPhone version?
there is on the Android version, sorry can't help with the iPhone. If you use ID3 that should work too
Hi what trim is your iv60, as I’m looking at the 60 eco suite.
Mine is the lounge. I didn't like the very brown or the black leather. Grey leather and alcantara is really nice
@@enyaq_gorm Cheers mate, I will have a look at that 👍
Hello enyaq gorm im thinking of buying a enyaq very soon would im wondering is there any you can sign up to to get cheaper public charging help and advice would be appreciated thanks Allan
That's are various options, skoda powerpass, ionity passport, BP pulse subscription. Depends on your use profile and where you'll be driving really.
Mines going in for a check up as struggle to get 120 miles on a full charge with no climate control on and max 65mph for short spurts on motorway
If it's a short trip how do you know it will only do 120 miles? What's your efficiency showing? Multiply that by your battery size to get actual range, the number on the dash is a guess only.
What have you got your phone attached to?
Míracase magnetic holder
18:55 - I see what you did there
Oh dear, I did didn't I? Genuinely didn't notice until now 😂
Transport Scotland needs toup it's game on road diversions
Yeah, that was shocking. Just a bloke with cones saying "it's shut". No signposted diversion, nothing. I'll bet the contractor was signed up(and paid) to provide a diversion though.
