Due to an agreement with VW regarding technology sharing, if the model is a success, Skoda has to wait for at least two years before building its own version of the EV. The 18kW batteries give the vehicle a range of 80 miles and can easily be charged in about 5 hours.
“If VW or Audi develop this technology then it is a great opportunity for Skoda to develop a car like this” declared a sourced company to Autocar, “but they must do it first”.
