SKODA ENYAQ iV 80 77 kWh RANGE TEST (highway and city)

I’m going to test the range on the highway first. There is also a little bit of sporty driving on country roads in this test. The purpose of this part of the test is to find out the minimum range of this car by testing it at higher average speeds.

At the beginning of this part of the test, the battery is at 86%. I did the test in June and it was between 17 and 20.5 degrees. It also rained a bit that day. The first part of the test is a 112 km drive, purely on the highway, 120 km/h. This was a drive from Brussels to the Ardennes with an altitude difference of about 200 meters. Afterwards, the battery is only 56% and the average consumption is 20.6 kWh. I will base my estimated range on consumption and net battery capacity. The total range based on this consumption is 374 km. I now get off the highway for some sporty driving on country roads in the Ardennes. After this stretch of 36 km, the total average consumption is 20.4 kWh. The range has now been increased to 377 km. Now we drive all the way back on the highway from the Ardennes to Brussels. Let’s look at the end result.

The battery dropped to 17% and the total length of the drive was 266 km. Average consumption was 19.3 so total highway range is 399 km.

This was the high-intensity test. Are you curious about more mixed consumption. Well I ran the battery from 100% to 16% empty, driving a total of 326 km, consisting of 60 km of city driving, and 230 km of highway and 36 km of country road from the high intensity test. The average consumption came out to 19.1 kWh so the total range I got based on this consumption is 403 km in a more mixed scenario, but to be fair the highway does take up a large share of the total miles.

We are not fully finished with the highway test. I thought because I was driving from Brussels (which is about 13 meters above sea level) to the point in the ardennes, which is about 200 meters above sea level, that driving uphill would possibly produce higher consumption compared to just a flat drive on the highway.

So I just did the test again, doing a drive on the highway from Brussels to Ostend by the sea. The temperature during this ride was between 14 and 17.5 degrees and it was raining. To make a long story short, I drove 258 km from 100% to 34% and my average consumption came out to 18.9 kWh, which gives me a range of 407 km on the highway to drive at sea level without too much elevation change .

The Skoda Enyaq iV 80 is equipped with CCS (combined charging system). With this system, the Skoda Enyaq can be charged with AC and DC.

For this test, I will charge the car at an AC charger in Brussels. The ENYAQ has an onboard 11 kW charger. When I started the charging session, the battery was at 16%, the car indicated that it would take 5h50 minutes to fully charge the battery.

I did not do a DC fast charge test with this Sportline model, but I did a DC fast charge test with the regular Skoda ENYAQ iV 80, which is the same in terms of charging. The Skoda Enyaq iV 80 can fast charge at speeds of up to 125 kW. This ENYAQ iV 80 can be charged from 5 to 80% in 38 minutes

I did a quick charging test with a 50 kW DC charger. I charged in 32 minutes from 35% to 65% or from 156 km to 278 km, so I gained 122 km of range. I know 50 kw is not a very fast charger, but on that route this was the fastest charger I could find.

Now let’s test the range at lower average speeds in the city. I want to know what the maximum range of this car could be. Let’s take a look at my results. The weather during this part of the test was much better. It was sunny and temperatures ranged from 20.5 to 23.5 degrees. The first leg was about a 17 km ride in Brussels. The rest of the ride was driving in Flanders. Still in an urban area but with many opportunities for continuous driving.

I drained the battery from 100% to 73% over a 150 km trip. After 50 km, my consumption was only 12.8 kWh resulting in an estimated range of a whopping 602 km. Over the course of the trip, consumption increased slightly but my final consumption came out to 14.3 kWh. So the range in the city is 538 km.

As a conclusion, I can say that the range of the Skoda ENYAQ iV 80 is somewhere between 399 km and 538 km, based on similar driving behavior and measured in somewhat warmer temperatures between 14 and 23.5 degrees. In much colder temperatures, it will probably be less. At even higher temperatures, you probably get more range. All in all, I think this car performed very well in the action radius test.
