Tips & Tricks
Use downtime efficiently
Your car spends hours – or even days – parked at home, work, or elsewhere. Use that downtime to charge you electric vehicle with alternating current (AC). AC charging is gentler on your battery and typically cheaper than direct current (DC) fast charging, making it ideal when you have time to spare.
You can charge overnight during off-peak hours to take advantage of lower electricity rates. This ensures your vehicle is fully charged and ready to go by morning.
Tips & Tricks
Charge on the go
When you're on the road, fast direct current (DC) chargers can recharge your battery in under 30 minutes, getting you back on track quickly. Use our Charging Calculator to estimate how long it takes to charge your Škoda.
For best results, start charging at around 10% and stop at 80%, as charging slows down beyond that. Ideally, charge just enough to comfortably reach your destination.
To optimize charging speed, ensure battery preconditioning is active. If your navigation is automatically planning the charging stops, preheating is already enabled. Otherwise, you can manually activate it in your car infotainment.
Find chargers along your route with your car’s navigation or the Powerpass Map infotainment app. You can also plan trips in advance using the MyŠkoda app and send them straight to your car.
