Škoda Charging Accessories
There are moments when you need to charge away from your usual spot – for example at a holiday cottage, when visiting family or friends, or when parking somewhere without dedicated charging infrastructure. In these situations, portable charging solutions give you the freedom to top up your battery wherever your plans take you, without having to rely on public chargers.
Universal Charger
The Universal Charger for electrified Škoda models is a portable solution designed for flexible charging practically anywhere. Featuring a 6-meter cable, it allows you to charge from both standard household outlets and high-power industrial sockets (up to 11 kW), ensuring maximum charging speed and convenience on the go.
Cable Mode 2
The Mode 2 charging cable is the perfect solution for convenient home charging from any standard household outlet. Fully compatible with all all-electric and plug-in hybrid Škoda models, this 6-meter cable (including charging case) offers maximum flexibility for your daily charging needs.
Cables
Basic figures
Bidirectional charging
Bidirectional (BiDi) charging enables electricity to flow in two directions, meaning an electric vehicle (EV) can not only draw power to charge its battery but also discharge it. This transforms your EV into an intelligent, mobile power bank that can power your home (V2H), feed energy back into the grid (V2G), or power electrical appliances directly (V2L). Intelligently managed by a compatible charger, it helps lower electricity costs, serves as a backup power source during outages, and always ensures the vehicle retains enough charge for your daily travel needs.
Vehicle-to-Home (V2H)
Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) charging allows your electric vehicle to act as a high-capacity home battery on wheels. By storing cheap energy—like daytime solar surplus or low-cost overnight electricity—and discharging it to power your appliances during expensive peak hours, V2H could significantly reduce your energy bills. Additionally, it serves as a reliable backup power source during grid outages, providing home energy resilience without the need for a costly, dedicated stationary home battery.
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) charging connects your electric vehicle directly to the energy market, feeding electricity back to the public grid. By selling your stored power during peak demand and recharging when electricity is cheap and abundant, V2G could actually generate revenue and put money back in your pocket.
Vehicle-to-Load (V2L)
Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology transforms your electric vehicle into a powerful, mobile generator. By allowing you to plug standard electrical devices directly into your car—via built-in cabin socket or an external adapter—V2L provides instant electricity wherever you go. Whether you are camping off-grid, working with power tools on a remote site, it offers ultimate convenience and peace of mind.
Compatibility
The availability of bidirectional charging depends on the vehicle's software and hardware version:
- For vehicles with the 5.6 software version, bidirectional charging is supported exclusively on models equipped with 85, 85x, and RS batteries.
- With the introduction of software 6, bidirectional charging is compatible with all battery variants. The only exception is the Epiq 35 without the Tech packet, which will not have DC BiDi enabled.
FAQ
How long does it take to charge a Škoda EV with a wallbox?
With the Škoda Charger Connect 11 (11 kW), most Škoda EVs reach a full charge overnight - typically in 7–9 hours. Exact times depend on your vehicle's AC charging capacity and battery size - use the charging calculator to check your model.
What is the difference between a 11kW and a 22kW Škoda Charger?
Both models include smart features and MyŠkoda app integration. The Connect 11 covers the needs of most households - 11 kW is the maximum AC charging speed supported by all current Škoda EVs, and overnight charging is sufficient for daily use. The Connect 22 is useful if you expect a future vehicle with higher AC charging capability, or need to charge from single phase grid connection.
Can I charge my EV from a regular household socket instead of a wallbox?
Yes - Škoda offers two portable solutions for this. The Universal Charger supports standard household and industrial sockets (up to 11 kW) via a 6 m cable. The Mode 2 Cable connects directly to a standard household outlet and works with all electrified Škoda models. While the Mode 2 Cable is slower than a wallbox, both solutions are useful when travelling or as a backup. For everyday home use, a wallbox is significantly more convenient.
Can I use the Škoda Charger with solar panels?
Yes. The Škoda Charger integrates directly with your home solar system. It detects surplus solar energy and uses it to charge the car, and can reduce your electricity cost and carbon footprint. This feature will be integrated into the MyŠkoda app later and is currently only available in the Elli Smart app.
Can I set the charger to automatically charge when electricity is cheapest?
Yes. All Connect models allow you to set a charging schedule and departure time in the MyŠkoda app, so the car charges during off-peak hours and is ready when you need it. The Škoda Charger integrates with your home energy system and adjusts charging automatically based on real-time electricity prices, solar production, and household load.
How much does it cost to purchase and install a wallbox? Can I install the wallbox on my own? How long is the warranty period for a wallbox?
The price differs from market to market. Please contact your authorized Škoda partner for the precise price and installation information.
Škoda Charger must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with your country's electrical regulations. This is required for the charger to operate safely and remain within warranty. Your local Škoda dealer can advise on installation options and connect you with suitable installers in your area.
The Škoda Charger comes with a standard two-year warranty.
Yes. The Škoda Charger supports multiple users via RFID card authorisation. Each user's consumption is tracked separately through the MyŠkoda app, making it straightforward to split costs or monitor usage.
By default, the charger can start automatically when a cable is connected — no card needed. If you prefer to require authorisation before charging starts, you can turn on authorization. The RFID card for charging authorization is included in the packaging of all smart Škoda Charger models, or you can authorize the charging session from your MyŠkoda app.
The Škoda Charger is compatible with all electric vehicles that use a Type 2 connector, which is the European standard. App features such as charging schedules, statistics, and solar integration are available when paired with a Škoda vehicle via the MyŠkoda app.
How can I control the wallbox? Does the wallbox have a user interface screen?
Each wallbox has status diodes to indicate the charging process, an error in handling, etc. Our smart wallbox models are connected to the MyŠkoda app, so you can remotely control and manage them.
Is home charging safe for my car's battery?
Yes - and it is generally better for the battery than frequent public fast charging. The Škoda Charger uses AC charging at controlled speeds, which generates less heat and causes less battery wear over time. The charger also includes overvoltage and grounding protection, and is built for outdoor use (IP55 dust and water resistance, IK10 impact resistance, operating range from -22 to +50 °C).
Which charging option is better? Home or public?
Public charging using DC chargers is faster and thus more useful when travelling. For everyday use, home charging is the right option as it is cheaper, more convenient and also better in terms of battery health.
