1-Jahres Review vom Skoda ENYAQ iV nach 26000 Kilometern. Differenziert, Detailliert und ehrlich!

hello friends of the cultivated charging fun and welcome to Speicher elektrisiert your channel all about the Skoda ENYAQ. my name is Matthias and I've been driving this Skoda Enyaq 80x sportline for a year now and I think this is a good opportunity for a review of the year and draw a conclusion on the car. important: these are my experiences and my personal opinion and not that of the community. if your opinion is different? great then write me in the comments below! btw. I will rate the car in the condition it is now is and how I can drive it now so with the software me3.0. it has been updated that is a so-called pre me3 ENYAQ. I don't rate what is to come with the 3.1, with the 3.2 but what I can really use now. I will also only briefly address many things in this conclusion because otherwise the video will be much longer than it is anyway my look at this here. We have a lot to discuss. you will find many videos on this channel on all the topics I address, especially if you are new to the channel, just browse through here. for almost everything I have made detailed videos, I also link them here above and now we start with the facts and figures. Let's go! let's start with a few facts and figures after 365 days with the Skoda Enyaq. I've driven exactly 25,913 km, that is 26,000 km in one year, during which time he was in the workshop three times. I'll explain that in the next chapter. all three stays were rather harmless the Skoda ENYAQ 80x has a 77 kilowatt hour battery and if you would now convert that into the fuel equivalent with diesel divided by 9.8 then we are actually talking about the tank of 7.85 liters and then it's kind of fascinating that you can drive 300 to 460 km with less than 8 liters of diesel fuel equivalent. Talking about the battery: I really tried to get the real state of health of the battery for you with the official Skoda battery certificate that you can do for a fee at the dealer. due to various misunderstandings, wrong tests and complications, unfortunately I did not manage to get this information for the review. accordingly there will be a separate video. So i've thought about how to get some official data. you could, for example, make the vehicle condition report in the myškoda app or on the Skoda Connect website. is it this one bit does not provide any data for my video except that we can find the current mileage on it, which I can also read in the cockpit but I thought to myself okay then I'll take a look at the digital certificate on the Skoda Connect website. If you don't know that yet, log in and take a look. You also get a quasi-complete description of the condition of the vehicle, in principle also very important for the sale with the data from the factory, but if we look at it here now you will notice that it is not really complete either, for example, I have no information on the acceleration and what does the charging speed of 13 hours mean and where does this consumption come from? 18.5 kilowatt hours per 100 km. Yes, I don't know that either and the wltp range seems to have been calculated individually somehow. That's not the official specification for the car and the kilometer history down here is also exciting you can see the data that is not quite up to date there are a few kilometers missing and apparently he was only able to read it here at the very end and he estimated the rest. the report continues you will receive then on the next page here more information about the workshop stays it is exciting that one is in there twice and then at the end two more pages with equipment. but those are the thoughts I made how do I still get the data. so as of now I only have guesswork in this area through my own measurements via the OBD interface and that's exactly what we're looking at now in detail. as I said, I can't tell you whether the values ​​are correct because we have to wait for the official values ​​in case I get them. According to my data, I have charged 6623 kilowatt hours and consumed 6354 kilowatt hours, the difference between them is 269 kilowatt hours or the equivalent of 4% somewhere has been lost. if you calculate that now but with these 6354 kilowatt hours at 25,913 km I got about four kilometers with one kilowatt hour but also converted that would mean an average consumption of 24.5 kilowatt hours per 100 km and that is definitely not true. We'll see that afterwards in the chapter consumption and charging. My consumption in the annual average is lower, so always take self-measured values ​​with caution. I also looked at the data to see how much energy fits at 100% battery capacity. These values ​​must also be taken with caution. if you want to know more about it I link a video above where I go into detail about it, but according to my own calculation I get 71,718 watt hours or rounded 72 kilowatt hours that this battery can still hold at 100%, which means that I still have 93.5% state of health or a degradation of 6.5%. my own calculation based on the values ​​I read out there is no guarantee that they are correct because just calculated by me. a small insert here in the numbers data facts chapter which I think fits quite well and is interesting for many. I recently had my summer tires changed to the winter tires and when the complete wheel was off I could of course just have a look at the front and rear brakes. at the rear it's a bit uninteresting as drum brakes are there you don't see much but you could catch a glimpse at the front. I'll show you here now two pictures from left and right so you can see how after 26,000 kilometers and a year of driving the brake discs and brake pads are worn out or rather not worn out. Don't let those dark sprinklers on the disc irritate you now. that's just because it's wet outside and lately I've almost only recuperated and haven't braked. I then made an emergency brake and then they were gone. so that's not a defect and not a problem either, the discs are absolutely fine. but it's fascinating to see how little you brake mechanically at all and now back to the numbers Facts and figures. On the other hand, while we're on the subject of facts and figures, we can also briefly talk about me on the YouTube channel here, which only exists because of this car and that's in this one year where I have the Skoda ENYAQ i have over 800,000 views of my videos, over 134,000 hours of time my videos were viewed, over 7,000 subscriptions - and only 23 percent of you have subscribed - so subscribe now if you haven't already done so. that means I reach around 30,000 to 35,000 Individuals and that's all ENYAQ interested people, that's quite a lot. and that's 54 videos and with this one it's 55. now we're going to the next chapter. hardware and the car itself, by hardware I mean the sheet metal, not what we need for infotainment and the like, and I'll just start with the three problems I had with the hardware here in the car. that was the logo projection in the mirrors where the water got in because the logo was defective. it was replaced and was completely uncritically and the second was a bit more annoying that was this central control unit here in the roof. my sunroof didn't work properly anymore and sometimes the sun blind just closed itself and I could press what I wanted here because nothing actually works, the light no longer works so the control unit was exchanged. after that I had my peace and the third that was already on delivery because the track was misaligned that means i turned back a few kilometers after getting the car and had to correct the track. that's annoying and shouldn't happen but hey that's not the end of the world either. otherwise I'm absolutely satisfied with the car as far as the hardware is concerned. the processing quality is very good across the board. I have no problems at all. the sheet metal is good, the gap dimensions if you are interested in it, are neat. even in summer, nothing creaks, nothing wobbles, nothing makes any noises at leat for me and in general the car is very very quiet when driving. of course, most electric cars are, but I find it incredibly comfortable, but I never drive faster than 130 and in Switzerland not faster than 120 anyway. one of the main reasons why I bought the Enyaq back then was the large trunk volume of 585 liters and that's just great and that's otherwise hard to find in this category of cars. maybe with the Tesla model Y, about the same Price range, but otherwise only in more expensive ones and I love this trunk and the the giant tailgate. Both are the reason why I wouldn't drive the Coupé but the SUV variant. The Frunk, who he doesn't have because not MEB car has it, I don't miss it at all. if I had one, I would probably use it, but thanks to the clever layout in the Trunk also for stowing the charging cable on the side - the videos are all here on the channel just browse around - I don't miss the Frunk. keyword chassis: I have the dcc chassis and regardless the settings regardless of whether comfort, normal or sport - i drive mainly in normal - it is relatively tight and sporty but not too tight. that is at least my personal feeling. a Tesla Model 3 is much tighter and for me too tight. I like this chassis and the differences from the DCC in the different settings are rather small in my feeling and perception. the four-wheel drive, that's an 80x that I drive, it works really really well, especially in the winter. there is a suitable video here on the channel I'll link it too. it pulls really well in snow and even on icy roads or when you stop on a slope with snow. so I feel safe here in everyday life with the all-wheel drive, especially now in the mountains in wintertime. Otherwise you hardly use the 4x4 because the car steers it intelligently. small tip on the side if you have not seen the video about it: if you absolutely need all-wheel drive and want to activate it then switch the car to sport mode because all-wheel drive is activated then with a correspondingly good power distribution. I link the video up here again. Moving to the interior I find the ambient lighting, for example, incredibly nice with the light strips. I like the general ambience when I get into this car. it feels pleasant. I really like sitting in the ENYAQ. I enjoy the atmosphere of a rather classic car but which has a lot of modern elements and aspects. for me is the feel-good atmosphere extremely important in a car. for example, that's something that I didn't feel in the ID4, that's also something that I didn't have in the Q4, talking about other MEB cars. and that's something I don't feel in the Tesla either and to me this personal feeling is very important when I'm sitting in the car and that's where the ENYAQ really scores for me. general spoken if you sit in it and then drive... I've swapped the pedals down here by the way .I also have play and pause from the ID4 .you can simply order it online if you didn’t like the classic pedals from the Enyaq but that's a small side note. where we’re already talking about the pedals: keyword acceleration! The e-car feeling is something you get in the ENYAQ as well. Also in the 80 and also in the 60 ENYAQ because you don't need 500-600 hp in old currency or just as much kW of power. it has 195kW, that's enough for great e-car feeling- that's enough for a nice acceleration and no, it doesn't bother me that it is is limited to 160km/h because apart from driving in Germany it doesn't matter to me anyway. The punch I need to overtake is there and in all other countries I can't drive faster than 130 here, often at that time only 120 or less. recuperation could - for my feeling - be a bit stronger, especially in B driving mode but nevertheless it is nice. I do not use the paddles for recuperation on the steering wheel. what I would wish for that's one paddle driving. The ENYAQ has it in some way but it doesn't have that to a standstill. you can just drive with the accelerator pedal but he won't stop. he rolls on at the end with 5 kilometers per hour. I would really like it to be a complete stop. I'm just a typical one paddle driver. What's not worth it, that's the standard sound system. that sounds flat. that's only enough to let yourself have some kind of music on the way but whoever really listens to music in the car, and I count myself among those, will not be happy with the standard speakers. the canton sound system wasn't available when I ordered my Enyaq so I don't know that and I can't rate it. but if you want to have some good sound in the car, you can't end with the Enyaq or the Skoda standard sound system. To sum it up the hardware and that the car itself is great and I'm super happy about it. the software, the updates and the MySkoda app in one word? needs improvement! the software simply has errors, it's really not state of the art in terms of user-friendliness/usability and it crashes occasionally. important, we have to differentiate between the software, there is the one in the infotainment area, I count the whole thing with the music with the navigation and the lighting and something like that to this and then there is the safety-relevant software that controls this car and the safety-relevant software that has never crashed for me. the infotainment software did. all the videos I have here on the subject of software on the channel and what I don't like - I'll link you to my playlist up here - relates almost exclusively to the infotainment part. for those who want to know a little more now I'll take a closer look at the software things that bother me. the user management and profiles in this car if you want to have more than one user is useless for me today. there are videos here on the channel. that just doesn't work you can safely ignore and what is also a bit annoying is when you register as a user you have to click every time the OK button when starting the car. yes, you can get over that, but whenever even just one user is created in the car, this OK pressure is needed due to data protection as Skoda states. The usability of this software in general could be improved, especially with a few functions that the Enyaq just don't want to remember at all. What counts for me, for example, is the setting of the driving mode Normal, Sport, Comfort which is always set to Normal. I know the arguments why it is like that but I'm just talking here from my personal point of view and I would just wish that he would remember that and not only that. there are more things because I just don't like it when I get in the car and need 30 Seconds to set something for what are there user profiles. the arrangement of the elements in the head up display. I am totally satisfied with the head up display, I love the head up display. but I think certain elements seem a bit chaotically arranged. the head up display has three segments, so to speak, and the speed is somehow in all three for me, so how fast do I drive, how fast should I drive and how is the cruise control set? You could arrange the elements, how should I put it, a little more logically, like same to same information like grouping it better. I'm missing some information in the head-up display and which is only shown to me in the front cockpit, but that is crying at a high level. you don't have to have everything in the head-up display. the head-up display is not supposed to be a replacement but a tool with the most important information. the cockpit itself even if I think it's absolutely beautiful and I really like sitting in it also has a few rather bad design aspects. I might start with the display in the cockpit. here I’m simply missing a few pieces of information, for me, for example, the battery temperature. we talk about that in chapter consumption and charging again. I now have the percentage display of the battery charge level and also the range, but the battery temperature would still fit super well for me into it. As of today, I don't have any data from the trip in there either, I only have it on the central display. I know that comes with the ME3.1update but I told you I rate the car as it is now. I would like to have this information in the cockpit display and some more information as well. let's go further to the main display. the main display is nice and big. it's nice and bright but I don't like this grid layout. if you don't know what I mean by that you have an arrangement grid to put the so-called widgets on it and this grid that has the wrong division for me or the widgets are the wrong size. you can now turn and turn as you like but it is usually difficult to build beautiful screens. this is partly because the widgets are of a size that you often have to put 1 by 1 widgets on the grid so that you fill the whole screen and those 1x1 widgets have no added value. they have no function than the jump to the menu. there could at least be small data tiles or something like that or you would have to use a different layout and the second thing is that you can place widgets only once. i might want a widget in more than one view. for example, what I really like is the music on the left, the map on the right, but I would also like to have the map when I navigate, so that I can see the driving data next to it and not the music, but I can only place the map once. and finally a word about Laura. laura is the voice assistant here in the Skoda ENYAQ and to be honest, I find the voice assistant mostly useful. It understands most of it quite well, I can also use it to enter navigation destinations well and easily. yes laura is a little bit lazy, she doesn’t always react immediately and unfortunately she don't control everything. the sunroof, for example, Laura doesn't know that. But in everyday life, despite her occasional sluggishness, Laura is quite useful for me. apropos sluggish: I should perhaps also mention that this central display sometimes also reacts very sluggishly, loads slowly and animations are not smooth. Whether this is due to bad programming or to weak Hardware I don't know but that's definitely not something you should have in an electric car in 2022. the other thing is the topic of updates. the ME3 update in particular had an enormous delay. there are no release notes, you don't really know what was updated. you don't find out either which errors have been fixed. that is not good communication and a website that has threeor four things on it does not help either. I would like to know more about it. and with the updates there is one more point for me: the updates relate not only to the software but also on the hardware. skoda has a so-called model year change about every six months. here, for example, my Enyaq is the model year 06/21. is officially called model year 2022. Skoda change the hardware in several model years to some extent. For example my Enyaq has no lateral ultrasonic sensors, so I do not have the parking assistant or the trained parking and neither the automatic lane change and I find that annoying. that should be communicated better for me because such a model change if it takes place so often can mean for you that you simply don't get certain things. despite software updates and as far as the updates are concerned, Skoda is of course fully dependent on Volkswagen and here from the software development Cariad. Skoda can at most put a bit own optical design on top of that, but they can't do much more because the entire software of the MEB platform comes from Cariad and if they don't improve or deliver than the Enyaq gets nothing. Now to the MySkoda app. It has only a very small added value for me. you can't really do much in it and if you want to do something in it you often have the problem that the server can't be reached. the stability of this app is very questionable and often when you want to air condition the car or do something in the app it doesn't reach the server and therefore you can't communicate with the car either. and the functions are severely restricted so the app is more or less a nice gimmick but not more. my conclusion on the subject of software, updates and the app: well that is certainly the Achilles heel of this car and also my biggest point of criticism. on the other hand in everyday life the software mostly works- navigation, driving data, music control, settings, the charge planning itself is not perfect but there is one available at least. it has room for improvement but you can drive with it, can navigate with it and it is usable. most things really only bother you on closer inspection and if you really dig deeper. so you shouldn’t condemn the software completely in general, but for me this is the chapter with the greatest room for improvement in particular regarding the update policy and the MySkoda App. in the last chapter I have already said that Navigation and charging planning is more or less useful, but to be honest, if you do a review of the electric car then that is not enough. so there is this chapter here separately where we go into navigation and charging planning and all details and also talk a bit about the map. let's start with the map without navigating and without charge planning. the map is rather basic I would say. the optics are maybe not quite up-to-date but it's enough for me I do not necessarily need a satellite view. I can also get it from Google Maps or somewhere else, but what I absolutely don't like about the map is that there are no street names, why are no street names displayed no matter how far I zoom in? That's essential for a map and what I also dislike, depending on when you drive with a lot of height difference and then the map in the 3D view sometimes has a very strange error pattern with a warped map and streaks. unfortunately I don't have it on video, so I can't show you that. next, why isn't there an integrated elevation on the map. I know there's a widget for that, where you can also display it but I found it so practical in so many Skodas that I could simply see the height. The whole map is generally a bit slow and sluggish for me , the map is not particularly fast. And you have symbols all over each other sometimes and cannot see the right one. I personally don't like the new zoom when you drive to a motorway junction or something like that, it makes me nervous when the map then moves so incredibly fast forward because it zooms in to 50 m or so, although it's quite helpful to see the lanes like that. so I'm ambivalent about that feature. Also i don't like the filter options for the charging stations. you can use them to filter according to the charging speed and charging provider, but the filters all, 50 kW or more, 100 kW or more. that is somehow not at all suitable for the increase in charging speed that we got with the software ME3. keyword software ME3. with it the whole map, navigation and charge planning has already become much better than pre-me3. one must not forget that here it has been significantly improved and that's why I get the overall result useful. let's jump over to the navigation. the navigation also works quite okay but often the Route planning and where he wants to drive is surprising and that's independent of the navigation settings. he sometimes chooses really strange streets, sometimes small streets although the main street is right next to them and sometimes he drives really strange detours, which I don't like at all. What bothers me less is the topic of traffic jams and blocked roads because that works pretty well for me. most of the things he has relatively up to date and actual. not quite as up to date as Google but relatively up to date. what I really like is the fact that when I don't use the Skoda map for navigation but for example in my case Apple carplay, then it works with the head-up display. a planned route in Apple carplay so with Apple maps I see in the head-up display. That is a great function of the car. all in all the navigation does what it's supposed to do. It navigates but it doesn't really do that overly well, especially when I compare it with competitors like Google Maps or Apple Maps. if you just want to navigate then it works. that also works quite well with the voice assistant Laura, at least for me. Laura understands me really well. I had already mentioned that it in the software chapter. let's get to the essential part, that's the charge planning. the charge planning before ME3, I don't think i need to say a word about it, it was useless. but this is an ME3.0, I got the software update and so the planning has become quite useful. the majority of the time the Enyaqs planning is reasonable, charging stations with a good speed. but I lack filters, I can't use reasonable filters, for example, I only want to say go to IONITY and if IONITY is not within range then this or that. other providers are completely missing. on the other hand, with the ME3 we have the opportunity to set how much remaining range we would like to arrive at the destination and with how much remaining range I would like to arrive at the next charging stop. that's great, that was also missing before. but the specification is in kilometers while everything else is calculated in percentage, i.e. the charge stop shouldn't take place with a remaining range of 30 km, as I set it, the display shows me that in the charge planning and in the route in percent value. I don't quite understand why they didn't use a percentage there or why they don't show kilometers when displaying the route. the charging planning during the navigation is dynamic i think that is very good. that means depending on the change in consumption if i use more or less the charging planning also adapts and what i already found out in a video i link it again up here the SoC estimation is also quite good. of course these are only estimates, these are not measurements. one shouldn't forget that. but they work very well until the next charging stop. What i do not like is that I don't see immediately at a glance the percentages at the stops. I always have to tap the details of a charging stop in the overview or else I have confusing bars where you can't really see the real value. and what I also think is a pity when planning the charging is. I don't have a plug and charge. I know you now say how that will come with the ME3.1 but I don't know if that will happen. if it doesn't come with the ME3.1 Update I would still miss it, but I already miss it now. plug and charge, so plugging it in to charge without having to authenticate myself with a card, with a batch or an app is a great thing and I would really, really like to have it. now on the data situation in charging planning, namely the amount of chargers which are displayed with the ME3 and whether they are free or occupied. if you go into the details of a charger or a charging park then you can also see how many chargers are available and how many of them are occupied and The problem is that this data is unfortunately often incorrect. the used chargers are displayed incorrectly or updates too slowly, which means that it is no longer correct and even worse, sometimes it just has the wrong numbers of chargers. That of course means that the charging park has always free spots but it is fake. Conclusion on this chapter: again mixed feelings here. it is of course also a software topic and quite honestly that is simply not the strength of the VW group and Cariad simply brings not the performance that we expect here and therefore Skoda can only deliver what they have and probably has little to no influence itself here as with the rest of the software. so yes you can use the map, yes the navigation works and yes you have charge planning that works, but all of this still has enormous potential, a lot of room for improvement, and when I look at other car manufacturers or third party solutions (apps) on the market, some are doing it much better, but to be fair, there are manufactures on the market who are doing it much worse. I only mentioned assistance systems very briefly in the software chapter because they are of course in their own chapter because the Enyaq has a lot of them and some work well and some work less well. Don't forget, we have assistance systems that support us but not more, that means hands on the wheel and feet on the pedals and being responsible yourself. yes the assistants help with that but in the end what counts is what you do. i personally enjoy driving with the travel assist. it mostly does what it should and it is quite reliable even over long distances. the adaptive cruise control ACC does its job well and the "p" before means predictive and the majority of the time the recommendations for braking before a curve or before a roundabout are correct. I link you here again a video on the topic. The side assist, important to know that I don't have the automatic lane change for that I miss it the sensors, that means the death angle warning device, it usually works well. when it rains it really often has an error recognition because it flashes quite often in the mirror and far and wide there is no vehicle. Lane Assist, that is often a contentious issue. that is the one who tries to recognize the lane and keeps the Enyaq in the middle of the lane. I have a lot of comments under my videos where that's a problem but I have no problem with it. for me it works well. I also don't have any swarm data because - back to the software and update policy from Skoda - this is missing in the old updated ENYAQ. Those do not get it. So Enyaqs which got an update to ME3 doesn't have swarm data whilst those from the factory with ME3 installed have it. but I can get along well without.For me recognition of lanes and driving in the middle works well. the traffic sign recognition, however, it only works very bad for me and I've often been upset about it here in Switzerland. It doesn't recognize many things, often has problems with signs that are just overhead, with exits and so on. the traffic sign detection is really in need of improvement but it is also important to understand the traffic sign detection are actually two data sources. up here the camera trying to recognize signs and then there is the data here in the navigation and the data in the navigation is often outdated and often wrong. here you have to intervene very quickly because if you drive with the travel assist and the system recognizes a wrong speed then the Enyaq accelerates or brakes accordingly harsh and then you have to just be quick and that brings me back to the subject of hands on the steering wheel, feet on the pedals. then you can counteract quickly or just quickly put your hand on the acc lever, the lower left on the steering wheel, and counteract there. if you do that in the first few seconds if a false detection has taken place by pulling the lever directly towards you it goes back to the previous speed but you have to be fast enough for it. I can't tell you much about the parking assistant because I simply don't have it due to the missing side sensors. I just have the 360° camera view and the distance indicators that show how close I am to obstacles. that works for me but this visual aid could be optimized especially when I drive forwards in the parking space by the time it comes on I almost hit something. you have to press the button down here to bring it up faster. That could be improved. for me overall i am satisfied with the assistance system in the Enyaq. The systems do what they are supposed to. That meeans they assist you, and yes they make mistakes. some are more annoying than others but the travel assist which is in principle all these assistants in an entire package has made driving very pleasant for me on many, many trips. Now you can look at all these things individually, software and assistance systems and bodywork, but the decisive factor is what everyday life is like with the Enyaq and for me the Enyaq is a solid good car in everyday life, both when commuting to work and on short trips as well as on the Long-distance. the Enyaq meets my requirements quite well. I can do everything with the car. I have a large loading volume at the back and the car works in my everyday life. I have a big advantage, I can charge at home and that makes life easier. I basically have almost no restrictions with the car. No, for me, the range is no restriction. while we are on the subject, the range is for me in everyday life completely sufficient. I don't drive that much. I have weeks where I don't charge more than once. I don't need it because So higher consumption is not a problem. of course electricity prices are rising and that's why efficiency is important, but in everyday life consumption and range - charging also has it own chapter in the video - is absolutely sufficient and no problem in everyday life because for me it's just the practical aspect that counts and on the one hand that's transporting a lot and that works great. you can even sleep in your Enyaq, video link up there to one of my videos sleeping in the Enyaq. that also works really well. the only downside here for me that actually has something to do with everyday life because sleeping in the car is part of everyday life for me, there is no camping mode, which means the car just turns off after half an hour unless you do tricks around that. I still wish for a camp mode. but in normal everyday life and that consists for me of commuting and short distances, and shooting videos, this car is absolutely satisfactory and I can do everything i want. after we have already talked about everyday life, commuting and short distances in the previous chapter, we now come to the very important chapter on long distances. I personally think that everyday life is much more important than the long distances that are rarely driven. Most of us don't drive long distances every day, but it's the yardstick in electromobility, I don't know why. I think it's a bit a pity. Nevertheless we're talking about long distances now. I've been on long distance routes about ten times that year. Long distance, that means at least one charging stop for me on the way or more and the Enyaq is absolutely suitable for long distances. what does that mean for me? when I go on the long distance then what counts for me is how far I get between two charging stops, i.e. not from driving off at 100% but from recharging to 80% until the next charging and depending on my driving style, that's 270 to 300 km until get back to the charger again. The enthusiastic diesel driver is already getting cold sweat on his forehead... that's only 300 kilometers where are my 900 that's only a third yes but honestly you get used to driving a car in a different way with electromobility. A way which is much more relaxed. I drove diesel cars as well for many years. I also drove 900 km in a row and I was the least relaxed person of all. it may be that you feel differently but this is about my experience. I’ve become much calmer and more relaxed with electromobility. I think it’s good if I do take a break after two or three hours because let's be honest, except from Germany you can't drive faster than 120-130 in Europe and also in Germany, for example, I only drive at the recommended speed, so two and a half to three hours until I have to get out at the charging station again. strechting my body a bit, something to eat and drink and making good use of the 30 to 35 minute break. That leads to the fact that I arrive at my destination much more relaxed. With our ME3.0 Enyaqs the charge break has become a little shorter. here in such an 80x we ​​are now at 31/32 minutes under optimal conditions but i talk about consumption and charge again in the next chapter. And in the 80s and 60s we even went down to 26 minutes, so you don’t charge that long anymore. and honestly it doesn’t cost that much time in the end on long-haul routes, that’s an illusion. that's just another thing I experienced that I usually need a longer break than the car needs to charge, but you can see all of that in the videos here on the channel. I'll just link one of my road trip videos up here. so far I've also did not miss the 800 volt system the Enyaq, it has a 400 volt system as the MEB platform is a 400 volt platform. that could become an important issue on the long haul if more and more electric cars need to charge because then the pressure on the chargers increases. but that has nothing to do with the review of the car, so I won't go into it further here. yes, on long-distance it's a different driving than with a diesel that manages 900 kilometers in a row but it's not worse. it's more relaxed and pleasant driving if you get used to it and yes, for me the Enyaq is absolutely usable on the long distances. Now we talk about consumption and charging and of course we have to differ between the seasons because such an electric car behaves completely differently in summer than in winter and so of course does the Enyaq. let's first come to the topic of consumption in summer when the battery is nice and warm, then with my driving style I'm somewhere around 18 kilowatt hours, sometimes even 17 Kilowatt hours. important note: I drive 70 to 80% motorway so 120 here in Switzerland. the rest is national road with 80 or in the City with 50. who drives more national road and city has much better consumption values ​​of 15 to 16 kilowatt hours in summer. in winter the whole thing looks completely different for me because I'm then relatively quickly at 23 to 25 kilowatt hours and you notice that then also in the range. in the summer there I really get to 460 km with a 100% charge but in the winter I can be happy when I see a 3 in front of the range. the WLTP nonsense of 508 or 520 kilometers that the car should have...just forgert about it. it doesn't have it at least with my driving style. the consumption figures aren't exorbitantly good but they're not bad either. Let's get to the topic of charging now. we have here the 80x and when it comes to charging summer and winter are also important again and which battery is in the bottom of the car. do you have the performance battery from LG Chem or do you have the other battery in the bottom, the other one you only have in the 80s and 60s models of the later series. The first one also got the LG Chem. In summer when it is nice and warm when the battery is warm and you come to a charging station with the lowest possible charge level of less than 10%, then this one with ME3 actually get up to 160 - 170 kW peak but that only lasts for a very short time and yes I manage to charge this car from 5 to 80% in 31 minutes under optimal conditions. however, it looks completely different in winter and I am absolutely unhappy with this car in winter when the battery is cold. the Enyaq don't have what is known as pre-heating, which means it doesn't pre-condition the battery. it doesn't heat it up if you're going to a charging station, which means here in Switzerland even on the motorway with 120 you don't get the battery warm enough and then you have a problem because you charge very slowly. even with a low SoC more than 80 to 90kW will rarely be seen and that means from 31 Minutes you are quickly at up to 45 minutes for charging. for me that's less of a problem because I don't drive that much long distances, especially not in Switzerland but if you drive a lot in winter, you can really have a problem here. and that's a serious deficiency for me. It's a big flaw of the MEB platform. No MEB car has this pre-heating. they only heat the battery when you are plugged into the charger and the current is flowing, but then it is too late to get high charging performance. Maybe a small side node to charging with the ENYAQ in general: When will an ENYAQ charge fast? in my experience, the battery has to have at least somewhat over 20 degrees optimally it has more than 30 degrees or around 30 degrees celsius and the SoC is 10 percent or less, optimally five percent. then you charge really fast. The driving temperature, by the way, for low consumption is optimally around 25 degrees for the battery. So when it comes to charging and consumption I have mixed feelings. on the one hand I am okay with the consumption. I knew that beforehand that it needs about as much as i experience myself and in the mix it is good consumption value. as far as charging is concerned the car is really only fun in the summer. in winter it is not fun for me. because I am just very lucky to charge the majority time at home i am not thinking about it to much. but whoever is dependent on fast charging in winter has problems with the Enyaq and I find Skoda/VW has to improve here the MEB platform. my final conclusion after a year of Skoda ENYAQ driving. Have my initial requirements been fulfilled? the answer is yes they are. the trunk is ideal for my needs, it is large and spacious and I wouldn't give the transport package away. the head-up display I wouldn't want to give it away, I love a head-up display. The display keeps your eyes on the road, yes, the arrangement of the elements can be argued and debated, but it's sharp and it works properly and really good. the whole feeling I have with the car, be it when accelerating when recuperating but even when I'm only sitting in it, this feel-good ambience yes requirements met. I like that. It works really well for me. I don't want to go without it. Burt what is also very important: Needs grow with their fulfillment and so new needs arise, for example the topic of software. the software raises demands that are de facto not met today and where I am dissatisfied. I do not like the update policy of Skoda or the VW Group at all. why are there no release notes? why is there no meaningful communication and why do so many mistakes happen? and what I also don't like is the winter performance in terms of charging. the car just needs to get better here. when the needs grow the next question and you want to get an answer to this im sure: "with all of that knowledge after a year of Skoda Enyaq would i buy one again?" not that easy to answer but the answer is no. I probably wouldn't and the main reason for this is that I have no confidence in the software of this car or to put it better no confidence in the future of the Software. I have no trust in the VW Group and Cariad that they can still get this software on this platform in good shape. I believe that they are already working internally on the next platform, on the successor platform and are more or less only doing maintenance and minimal bug fixing and that's why I wouldn't buy another Enyaq today. on the other hand, if they do something here and really deliver what they promised and do it continuously, then it may well be that I'll take an Enyaq again, maybe the RS, I don't know, but definitely the SUV variant. on the other hand what alternatives do I have? and that leads me straight to the next question, which is probably haunting your heads now: "would I sell my Enyaq now?" the answer to that is also no, I wouldn’t do that either. because it’s far too good for that, and there’s no suitable alternative on the market for me right now which I feel good about, so I live with the defects that are here today, especially in the software. I wouldn't sell it. "and what would Skoda have to do now to make it perfect?" the answer is easy for me: software and software and software. Get the software straight and the second thing is that Skoda should communicate better what are they doing, on what they are working and how does their roadmap look like for the ENYAQ. and by that I mean not only the software but also the hardware updates that the car gets, which sometimes are not backwards compatible so one can make better decisions when to buy and the third thing has nothing to do with this car but to get back to normal delivery times. But delivery time make the car neither better nor worse. it is the software and the communication with the customer. then it would be the perfect car for me. all in all the Skoda ENYAQ is a solid electric car and a great companion for everyday life and I think it is the best Electric car that the VW Group currently has to offer (on the MEB Platform). I would of course be interested in your opinion if you already drive a Skoda Enyaq then please write me your conclusion in the comments below. if you are interested in a Skoda Enyaq then write me in if you find this video helpful and if you have ordered Skoda Enyaq then I hope yours will be delivered soon and that you don't have to wait much longer. if you liked the video give it a thumbs up and if you haven't subscribed to this channel then I would be happy if you subscribe to it because that way the channel can continue to grow and then I hope that we will see each other again in the next video and until then stay full of energy.
