Video Summary
This YouTube video review of the electric Škoda Enyaq car and its cousin the Enyaq Coupé can be summarized as follows:- The Škoda Enyaq and Enyaq Coupé are the same car, except that they may have a slightly different sized boot.
- There are lots of new Enyaq owners out there because the Elroq is the top selling car in the UK, and this comes with people’s concerns and worries.
- The efficiency from driving the Enyaq by addressing and reducing fears is a hot topic that always appears in Enyaq Facebook groups.
- The use of D mode or B mode is often a topic of discussion by owners. In B mode one can regenerate and put lots of energy back in the battery.
- The Enyaq, when pressing the brake pedal, actually uses regeneration first, which is approximately only 60% efficient. Therefore, if you do not use energy at all in the first place that is the most energy efficient option.
- A personal test was conducted on a 12-mile drive on the A71, and it was an uphill and downhill, but overall it dropped approximately 90 metres.
- The first trip in B mode the power efficiency was 5.6 m/kWh, but in D mode the efficiency improved to 6.6 m/kWh.
- A large part of being successful comes from anticipation of what the car is capable of. Some have complained about being thrown forward upon pressing the accelerator. It is far better to use the D mode, which is best if you want to conserve battery life.
- It may seem like B mode is less efficient, but more testing may be required. Personal preference is another major factor in one’s ultimate choice.
