Smooth driving is key to efficiency. Avoid rapid acceleration and harsh braking – instead, try to anticipate the road ahead and aim for gentle, consistent movements.

To make this easier, select Eco mode for a softer accelerator response.

Recuperation (or regenerative braking) recovers energy generated during braking and feeds it back into the battery – boosting efficiency and helping extend your range.

To make the most of it, gently press the brake pedal to engage recuperation first; regular brakes only kick in once regenerative braking is maxed out.

For best results, look ahead and maximize the use of the Coast function to avoid unnecessary braking – energy not used is better than energy recovered.

Eco Driving Assist can also help by automatically adjusting recuperation based on driving conditions and speed limits, so you can drive efficiently without overusing the brake pedal.

Heating and air conditioning can reduce your range, so it pays to use them wisely.

Rather than relying heavily on heating while driving, use the Climate Control function in the MyŠkoda app to preheat your car while it’s still plugged in – drawing energy from the charger, not the battery.

You can also enable warming the front seats and steering wheel in advance, when using the Climate Control function. This keeps things cozy without using extra battery power.
