Skoda Elroq: The Affordable Electric Car VW SHOULD Have Made?

Jack takes a first look at Skoda's smallest and most affordable EV to date. With impressive bang-for-buck as far as range, and lots of thoughtful family-friendly touches, is this affordable family EV the car that parent company, VW should have made all along?

Jack-videos are a pleasure! Could you please translate miles and miles per kWh for us metric people. Fully Charged Show has fans all over the world.

As a middle aged Dad, ... I. LOVE. THIS.

Just give me practical and thoughtful. I don't need insane 0-60, just give me a clever compartment and a door umbrella.

Yes, I'm dull. But proud.

[funkeeee]

VW are building everything decent EXCEPT VWs.

[neerajsaxena]

This is one of the best-looking electric SUVs in the market. The front is designed cleverly and elegantly, and the rear is designed smartly having practicality in mind. The interiors too are classy.

It'd be nice if Skoda were allowed to Skodify the ID3. That might actually be a good thing. Especially if they added that charging cable net on everything from now on, great idea.

Why couldn't they just make a small electric car the size of the Fabia instead? That's what we need... Not yet another overpriced boring SUV/Crossover thing.

Update after watching the video:
You know your car is boring, when the most interesting thing about it is the boot... Although I do agree that they are very smart design choices.... It's just a shame they are attached to this type of car though. The augmented head ups display is a nice touch too.

I am the only one, who thinks an "affordable" car would be between 10.000-15000€ and not over 30.000€.

[ltpinecone]

As much as I am sick of SUVs becoming the norm...This car does look really nice.

[danielardelian]

I like that it has NORMAL DOOR HANDLES! You don't really see that anymore these days...
PS: I enjoyed the review.

[richharper]

I’m just watching these thinking ‘these EVs are the second hand purchases of the not too distant future’.

[stephenclutton]

Efficiency absolutely needs to grab more focus. It's key to everything. More efficiency = greater range = no need for bigger batteries = even more efficiency and so on. Virtuous circles right there

[marinusk]

If these cars are called little then the environment is fucked

[ajtame]

Need more small electric cars, we are over-saturated with medium ones

[chrisball]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how brilliant Jack is.
I’m a huge petrol head but he still manages to get me to watch videos on cars I’m not the slightest bit interested in and I enjoy it!! In 10 years if Top Gear was to have another re-boot I think Jack would be is saviour!

[shmulikeilat]

My Fabia 2013 has this feature with the boot shelf option half way, you can also place it tight to the rear seats in a vertical way

[TheHughsie]

I used to love riding around in the boot of our car when I was a kid. Aaah memories😅

[Banyan]

It would be great to see that cable storage in the tailgate. The parcel shelf is one of the first things to be removed as soon as the car is loaded up for the first tip run. Great idea to remove the cable from under the boot floor, but not convinced this stowage will be in place after 12 months of normal use. A HUD should be on ALL EVs as a safety measure.

I suspect their best selling car is the Octavia, many many taxis and private hire drivers use them because they are so practical and good, wouldn't it have been a logical move to make an EV replacement for one of those instead of yet another SUV? We need more saloon and hatchbacks in Europe, plus estate versions of those same cars.

[mrright]

Took you long enough to publish, it’s been weeks since the launch. But then again, Jack makes it worth the wait 👏👏

[randomjasmicisrandom]

I love my Enyaq and if this is anything like as good then it will be a great buy. That said what I really, really want is an EV Octavia.
