And that with a lower price than a similar car with a combustion engine, a range of 480 kilometers and a charging time of 15 minutes. How do you say “ambitious” in Czech?

The Volkswagen Group is working on a new electric platform that the above-mentioned targets to achieve. It is called the EIA platform (that we know from the Volkswagen Budd-E) and Skoda has opted for a SUV because there is more margin on it. That margin can then be partially returned to the target of the price, which is lower to be than that of a car with combustion engine. At this moment it is difficult to make a electric car cheaply to build an SUV is obviously more margin than on a Citigo. It is not a spin-off of an existing model, if you have efficient electric cars would make them better from the first sketch as electric car designs. There is no alternative to electric driving, according to Skoda boss Bernhard Maier.

The batteries are in the floor of the SUV to be processed, just as the Vision’s Concept that had. This is to ensure that the back space for a third row of seats to achieve. Many of the current (plug-in) SUV’s are the batteries under the floor of the trunk, making that row of seats is not possible. The all-electric SUV from Skoda should be available in 2020. Before this car comes on the market, we can still plug-in hybrid versions of the Superb and the Kodiaq expect, this will in 2019 on the market.
