Frequently asked questions
How much does a Skoda Enyaq iV cost to run per mile in the UK?
At a standard UK home electricity rate of 26.1p/kWh (the Ofgem price cap unit rate for July–September 2026) and a real-world efficiency of 3.4 miles/kWh, the Skoda Enyaq iV costs approximately 7.7p per mile when charging at home. On a dedicated overnight EV tariff (around 7p/kWh) this falls to just 2.1p per mile. Relying entirely on public rapid charging — which averaged 79p/kWh in mid-2026 — raises the cost to 23.2p per mile.
Is the Skoda Enyaq iV cheaper to run than the Skoda Kodiaq?
Yes, for most UK drivers who can charge at home. The Skoda Kodiaq costs approximately 18.9p per mile in petrol at current UK prices. At home on a standard tariff, the Skoda Enyaq iV costs 7.7p per mile — a saving of 11.2p per mile. At 10,000 miles per year with 80% home charging, the Skoda Enyaq iV saves around £807 per year in fuel costs.
How long to break even switching from a Skoda Kodiaq to a Skoda Enyaq iV?
Based on an estimated price premium of £6,000 for the Skoda Enyaq iV over the Skoda Kodiaq, and annual fuel savings of approximately £807 at 10,000 miles per year (80% home charging), the break-even point is around 7.4 years. Drivers covering more miles will reach break-even sooner — at 15,000 miles per year the saving is proportionally larger.
What if I can't charge the Skoda Enyaq iV at home?
Without home charging, the economics change significantly. Relying on public rapid charging — which averaged 79p/kWh in mid-2026, up sharply from a couple of years ago — puts the Skoda Enyaq iV at 23.2p per mile — higher than the Skoda Kodiaq at 18.9p per mile. EV running cost savings are almost entirely dependent on home charging access. Drivers without off-street parking should factor this in carefully.
