Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Skoda Elroq 50. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Europe

Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Skoda Elroq 50 can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Skoda Elroq 50.

  • Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
  • Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
  • Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
  • Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

The Elroq 50 features a rear-wheel-drive configuration powered by a single electric motor, delivering a balance of efficiency and practicality that appeals to first-time EV buyers and families alike.

The Elroq 50 distinguishes itself through its aerodynamic design, boasting an impressive 0.26 drag coefficient that contributes to its efficiency credentials. Built on Skoda’s modern EV platform, this model emphasizes interior space and usability, with a 470-liter trunk capacity that expands to 1,580 liters with rear seats folded. The Skoda Elroq 50 represents the brand’s commitment to democratizing electric vehicle ownership, offering genuine EV capability at a price point that doesn’t require significant financial compromise.

Skoda Elroq 50 Performance and Driving Experience

The Skoda Elroq 50 delivers modest but adequate performance for urban and suburban driving. Its rear-mounted electric motor provides linear power delivery characteristic of EV drivetrains, with smooth acceleration from standstill. The Elroq 50 prioritizes efficiency over outright performance, making it ideal for drivers who value range and economy over thrilling acceleration. The rear-wheel-drive setup provides predictable handling characteristics, while the low center of gravity from floor-mounted batteries contributes to composed cornering behavior.

Real-world driving impressions suggest the Elroq 50 feels composed and stable, with responsive steering and adequate braking performance. The suspension setup uses MacPherson struts at the front and multilink at the rear, tuned for comfort rather than sportiness. Ground clearance of 186mm provides a modest SUV-like driving position without compromising efficiency.
