this was fun too, a public beta test of Skoda Citigo EV

I had to sign an NDA to drive this lmao

suck my fucking balls, Skoda

I calculated an ROI (against a similar fuel operated vehicle) of like 5+ years

Never heard of this one, is it any good?

I'm gonna report u to skoda

back when I tested it, it was still unreleased officially and this was one of the like 6 cars produced for testing with companies who could potentially be customers

it also had no price tag and no real range estimates

but as a city-shitbox or a pizza delivery vehicle it would work extremely well

sadly the pricing is way too high imo

.
Škoda, a Czech automaker owned by Volkswagen, has unveiled today the Citigo iV, an all-electric city car that is expected to cost **less than $20,000.**

.
265 km (165 miles) on the WLTP cycle is expected to result in roughly 200 km (125 miles) of real-world range.

way too much for what it offers, IMO

The charging capacity is limited to 40 kW on a DC fast charger and it’s equipped with a 7.2 kW onboard charger.

Well if it can be less than 20k Euromarks here in France it's gonna be a real contender for the Zoé

not with the range imo

IF

IF ONLY Skoda would've been able to price it under 15k for the base model

and they could've upped the range a bit

it would be great

Well the Zoé is better but also way more expensive

And for people like me with a kinda short commute, even 150 (real) km of range is ok

And a lot of people here have that kind of commute length

@Matthew go on I dare you, the NDA was only related to talking about driving characteristics and interior design (hint: they literally ripped off the Volkswagen e-Up!, both in drivetrain and interior design)

Around big cities I mean

the final release is a bit different in interior design iirc

not even journalists could drive the skoda

everyone else except for Skoda and Audi at this event were like "well yeah, hop in and drive wherever you want"

@Mereck sure, but then the citigo lacks fast charging

so unless you live in a house and can have a charging station in your garage, it becomes worse

Oh, according to some french articles it's gonna be priced at less than 14k

is that with bonuses or something?

over here there's no incentive to buy EV

With

Without 20k

That's still decent

But they also say it's gonna feature fast charge

Not extra fast but still...

4h for a 80% charge

12h30 on a home plug lmao

How is that even that bad tho
