The Five Priorities of ŠKODA’s eMobility
eMOBILITYHow exactly is ŠKODA approaching the rise of eMobility? It has identified five key issues to pursue in the development of electrified vehicles. Each of these themes can be found here.

The first is driving pleasure. Devotees of nimble driving will be pleased, for example, by the fact that the maximum torque for electric vehicles is available from zero revolutions, which means the car will accelerate at lightning speed.
Designers will be able to create an extremely spacious interior. As you can see in the VISION E concept, electric ŠKODAs will offer the elevated seating position typical of SUV models and generous space combined with a dynamic silhouette and a gently sloping coupé-style roof line. Because electric technology doesn’t need so much space as an internal combustion engine and gearbox, two boots can fit into the car – one at the back, the other at the front.
As it ponders the future, ŠKODA is not thinking solely of the production of electrified vehicles, which are forecast to account for 25 per cent of all cars sold in Europe in 2025. ŠKODA is set to invest EUR 2 billion in the development of electric cars and new mobile services over the next five years as part of Strategy 2025. It has also put its weight behind the building of charging infrastructure. The rapid charging point put into service in Mladá Boleslav in September is one such example.
ŠKODA VISION RS 
The ŠKODA VISION RS concept is another example of a ŠKODA electrified vehicle. The car features a plug-in hybrid drive combining a 110 kW (150 PS) 1.5 TSI engine with a 75 kW (102 PS) electric motor. They unite to deliver a system output of 180 kW (245 PS), enabling the concept study to accelerate from a standing start to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds. On its purely electric drive, i.e. emitting no local emissions, the car will travel 70 kilometres.
