1. What is the Škoda Epiq and what role does it play in Škoda’s all electric portfolio?

The Škoda Epiq is the brand’s new all electric entry model. It combines compact exterior dimensions with a spacious interior and high everyday usability. It is Škoda’s most affordable fully electric model and the entry point to the all electric portfolio.

• Position: entry level city SUV crossover in Škoda’s BEV line up.
• Price: base variant achieves price parity with the Kamiq (ICE) in many markets.
• Relation: sits below the Enyaq and Elroq; together with the upcoming Peaq, it will double Škoda’s all electric model range.
• Development: part of the Brand Group Core “Electric Urban Car Family”, targeting the compact, high volume, price sensitive small BEV segment in Europe.

2. What market segment does the Škoda Epiq target and how does it achieve price competitiveness?

The Škoda Epiq targets the entry-level compact SUV crossover segment. In its base variant, it achieves price parity in many markets with its internal combustion engine counterpart, the Kamiq. This makes electric mobility accessible to a broader group of customers and positions the Epiq competitively in the high-volume compact BEV segment alongside the Volkswagen ID. Polo, Volkswagen ID. Cross, and Cupra Raval — all sharing the same MEB+ platform.

3. Which platform is the Škoda Epiq based on, what type of drivetrain does it use, and which battery and power variants (35, 40, 55) are available?

The Škoda Epiq is the first Škoda model based on the new front wheel drive MEB+ electric platform. It offers two traction battery sizes and three power variants, all with front wheel drive.

• Platform: MEB+ electric platform, optimised for small FWD electric vehicles.
• Drivetrain: front wheel drive (FWD) only.
• Batteries:
   - Smaller battery: 38.5 kWh gross / 37.5 kWh net, LFP chemistry.
   - Larger battery: 55 kWh gross / 51.5 kWh net, NMC chemistry.
• Power variants:
   - Epiq 35: 85 kW, 267 Nm, smaller LFP battery.
   - Epiq 40: 99 kW, 267 Nm, smaller LFP battery.
   - Epiq 55: 155 kW, 290 Nm, larger NMC battery.

4. What traction battery options are available for the Škoda Epiq?

The Epiq is available with two traction battery sizes:
• Small battery: 38.5 kWh gross / 37.5 kWh net, LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate) chemistry – lighter weight, suitable for urban use
• Large battery: 55 kWh gross / 51.5 kWh net, NMC (nickel-manganese-cobalt) chemistry – higher energy density, longer range

The MEB+ platform architecture is specifically designed for smaller, lighter batteries, contributing to reduced energy consumption and more efficient interior packaging.

5. What are the charging capabilities of the Škoda Epiq, including AC and DC?

All Epiq variants include 11 kW AC charging as standard. The range-topping Epiq 55 supports fast DC charging from 10% to 80% in approximately 24 minutes.

6. Does the Škoda Epiq support bidirectional charging, and what bidirectional charging modes are available?

Yes, the Škoda Epiq supports bidirectional charging, enabling the energy stored in the traction battery to be used outside the vehicle. Three bidirectional charging modes are supported:
• V2L (Vehicle-to-Load): powers external electrical devices directly from the vehicle’s battery
• V2H (Vehicle-to-Home): supplies energy from the battery to a household
• V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid): feeds energy stored in the battery back into the public electricity grid

V2H and V2G functionality requires the use of a compatible wallbox. All three modes are available across the Epiq range, regardless of battery size or power variant.

7. What is the approximate WLTP range for each Škoda Epiq variant?

The Škoda Epiq offers the following approximate WLTP ranges depending on the chosen power variant:
• Epiq 35 (85 kW, LFP battery): approximately 310 km
• Epiq 40 (99 kW, LFP battery): approximately 310 km
• Epiq 55 (155 kW, NMC battery): approximately 440 km

The range difference between variants is primarily determined by the traction battery chemistry and capacity: the smaller 38.5 kWh LFP battery is shared by the Epiq 35 and Epiq 40, while the larger 55 kWh NMC battery is exclusive to the Epiq 55.

8. What AC and DC charging times and speeds are available for the Škoda Epiq?

All Škoda Epiq variants include an 11 kW AC onboard charger as standard, suitable for home wallbox and public AC charging. DC fast charging is available on the range-topping Epiq 55, which can be charged from 10% to 80% in approximately 24 minutes at a compatible DC fast-charging station. The Epiq 35 and Epiq 40 variants do not support fast DC charging at the same rate, as they use the smaller LFP battery optimised for urban use and everyday charging cycles.

9. How does one-pedal driving in B mode work in the Škoda Epiq, and what are its benefits?

The Škoda Epiq is the first Škoda electric vehicle to enable full one-pedal driving via B mode. Once activated, the driver can control the vehicle primarily using the accelerator pedal.
• Releasing the pedal causes the Epiq to decelerate smoothly while simultaneously recuperating energy back into the traction battery.
• The intensity of recuperation is switchable and can be adapted to the current driving situation and personal preferences.
• The function is particularly beneficial in urban traffic, slow-moving queues, and on long descents.

Key benefits include more intuitive vehicle control, a calmer driving experience, and more efficient use of the electric powertrain, contributing to an extended driving range in real-world conditions.

10. What are the key exterior design features of the Škoda Epiq within the Modern Solid design language (including the T shaped light signature, Tech Deck Face and aerodynamic elements)?

The Škoda Epiq is the first Škoda production model to fully incorporate the Modern Solid design language. Its exterior is defined by clear, minimalist lines and functional details.
