Electric Vehicles
Our electric vehicles that have arrived in Australia feature state-of-the-art battery technology with the high energy density, developed with safety as our highest priority. Our Battery Management System ensure optimal performance for every charging cycle throughout the lifetime of the vehicle. Škoda’s electric range currently only includes BEVs, but will be expanded to include, electric cars variants such as PHEVs, and MHEVs. Škoda’s approach to eMobility sets us and owners up for a more innovative future.
About Electric Cars
Electric cars are redefining modern driving by offering a cleaner, more efficient, and technology-driven mobility experience. By combining advanced technology with thoughtful design, electric vehicles deliver impressive performance, reduced emissions, and innovative features that make every journey more efficient and enjoyable.
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV)
Battery Electric Vehicles run solely on electricity, eliminating petrol or diesel engines and producing zero tailpipe emissions. They offer quiet operation, instant torque, and regenerative braking for energy recovery. With fewer moving parts, BEVs need less maintenance and have lower running costs. Currently Škoda’s range of BEVs include the Enyaq, a large SUV , and the Elroq, a medium SUV, both combining everyday practicality with long-range performance and modern technology.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV)
Plug-in Hybrids combine an electric motor with a petrol engine for flexible driving. They can run on electric power alone for short trips and switch to petrol for longer journeys. PHEVs offer a great balance between performance and efficiency, ideal for those transitioning to electric mobility without compromising range. Škoda’s range of PHEVs are arriving onto Australian shores in 2026, with the Superb and Kodiaq being the first ones to be available.
Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicles (MHEV)
Mild Hybrids primarily use a petrol engine supported by a small electric motor to boost efficiency and reduce emissions. Though they can’t run on electric power alone, MHEVs capture energy during braking and assist during acceleration, providing a smoother and more economical drive. Škoda MHEV technology is coming to Australia in 2026, with the Octavia and Kodiaq being the first models to feature it from Q2.
Škoda’s commitment to eMobility encompasses all these technologies from fully electric BEVs like the Enyaq and Elroq, to PHEVs and MHEVs which have already been announced for launch in Australia. Each type of vehicle is engineered to combine efficiency, comfort, and advanced technology, offering drivers options tailored to their lifestyle, environment, and driving needs.
Our Approach to E-Mobility
Healthier Mobility
There is no disputing that eMobility lowers our reliance on fossil fuels while producing less air pollution as we travel (compared with petrol vehicles). People in cities with higher concentrations of electric cars also enjoy a much lower degree of noise pollution.
Savings For Your Wallet
E-Mobility isn’t only about reducing our environmental footprint compared to petrol vehicles – it can also result in a healthy amount of savings for the wallet. With lower fuel and maintenance costs than cars with combustion engines, electric vehicles present a far more attractive value for owners.
Electrifying Style
Electric cars promise an effortless driving experience, and the Škoda Enyaq and Elroq take it even further. The Enyaq stands out with its dynamic design and sporty bumpers and electric tailgate, with optional body-colour side skirts and high-gloss details taking it to the next level. The compact Elroq brings the same modern elegance to city driving with its sleek lines and smart interior. Both models combine cutting-edge electric performance with Škoda’s signature style and innovation.
Škoda Electric Cars
Škoda Auto is accelerating its transition to electric mobility with a growing lineup of electric SUVs that cater to various needs and preferences. From compact city-friendly models to spacious family-oriented options, Škoda's electric vehicles combine practicality, performance, and sustainability.
Electric SUV
Electric SUVs are gaining popularity for their blend of versatility, efficiency, and eco-friendliness. Škoda's electric SUVs exemplify this trend, offering modern design, advanced technology, and impressive driving ranges.
Large Electric SUV
Large electric SUVs offer the perfect balance of space, range and performance—ideal for families and everyday adventures. The Škoda Enyaq is a large-size electric SUV that delivers a spacious interior, advanced technology, and a range of over 400 km^. With various configurations, including rear-wheel and all-wheel drive, it caters to diverse driving needs.
Medium Electric SUV
Mid-size electric SUVs combine compact agility with smart efficiency, offering versatility and style for urban and everyday driving. The Škoda Elroq offers practicality and efficiency in a smaller footprint as a medium size SUV. It provides a range of up to 561km^ on combined cycle and 687km^ on city cycle, making it suitable for both urban commuting and longer journeys.
Small Electric SUV
Whilst the Škoda Epiq is still not yet announced for release in Australia, you can still learn more out the brand's vision for accessible electric mobility.
Electric Vehicle FAQs
All of our Škoda vehicles are highly reliable, and our electric cars are no exception. We put a great deal of effort into producing top-quality vehicles and only use components of the highest standards, designed and tested by our expert engineers.
In electric cars, consumption is measured in kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometres (kWh/100 km). Much like fuel consumption in conventional vehicles, your instrument cluster displays both instantaneous and average energy usage, along with information about the amount of recovered energy returned to the battery through regenerative braking.
Electric motors require minimal servicing because they contain very few moving parts, mainly the rotor . There’s no need for oil changes or fuel. With fewer mechanical components and an efficient design, pure electric drive systems generally require less maintenance than traditional combustion engines. Scheduled Servicing for pure electric vehicles is every 2 years.
Several factors influence an EV’s lifespan, including driving habits, vehicle care, and adherence to maintenance schedules. Škoda provides an 8 year warranty (or 160,000 km – whichever comes first) on all high-voltage batteries, ensuring owners can rely on consistent performance throughout the period of ownership.
Electric vehicles do not require more maintenance than conventional cars. In fact, they often need less, with no oil or transmission fluid changes and fewer moving parts overall. Regular service and inspections are still essential to ensure your EV remains safe and efficient on the road.
There are two main ways to charge an electric vehicle: using a rapid charging point or a standard household power socket. Rapid charging stations, increasingly available in shopping centres and fuel stations, use higher current to charge your battery faster than at-home options.
You can charge your Škoda electric car either at home or at public charging stations. For home use, Škoda’s preferred supplier Jet Charge# offers compatible wall box solutions that can be installed in your garage or driveway for safe, convenient overnight charging.
Currently, Škoda Australia’s electric range includes the fully electric Enyaq and Elroq SUVs. However, several Škoda plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models are already available overseas and are expected to arrive in Australia soon, offering drivers even more choice on their journey to electric mobility.
