My colleague @Pavel_Jina just sent me, few pictures with his winter charging. We know about the discussions of winter charging, optimal temperature of battery is the 🔑. We are working on it. Here is the best case scenario in winter 1/5 He is driving with rear wheel drive of Enyaq Coupe iV and what is the difference between 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel? Different battery chemistry & charging curve. We claim from 10% to 80% in 29 minutes 2/5

Getting questions & comments connected to lower charging speed when comparing Enyaq iV built before summer 2021 and after the SW update to ME3. Let me explain what happend with your car and how we optimized your driving experience in winter. 1/7 @skodaautonews Do you remember your first winter with Enyaq iV? I do🤖 very high consumption and low range comparing to normal temperature. What was the issue here? The battery system was optimized to heat the battery to around 10 degrees.

SKODA #EnyaqiV drivers are questioning when orange & red 🐢turtle is coming out and why. All is connected to a battery temperature. First you will see orange turtle, when the temperature of battery is above 0 degrees, you can experience it from below 15% SOC to 5% SOC. 1/x Image If the temperature of battery is below 0 degrees you can see orange turtle already around 25% SOC = Limited driving speed max. to 100km/h and slower acceleration. Colder the battery and lower SOC the weaker the power output to prevent battery life cycle and longer range. 2/x Image
