Skoda Enyaq iV 80 1000 km challenge

this video was sponsored by about the root planner yo what's up we're now well near circle k or we are in oslo yes and today we will do one thousand kilometer challenge with skoda enyak so you know the antioch is based on the same platform as the id4 but the antioch has slightly different body and supposedly around 0.26 drag coefficient versus 0.28 on the id4 so anyak is better at higher speed so today we will see how fast it will do it i already did the calculation and it should be only 5 to 10 minutes faster than the id4 well we will see so i charge any up to 100 this is the one with 21 inch wheels which is actually a disadvantage we had 20 inch wheels on the id4 so but i can use the ev notifier you see i have the dongle here and i use the app ev notify we have 99.6 the battery has been pre-heating in my garage overnight so it's 14 to 18 degrees celsius so hopefully we won't see too much um too much uh colgate right so yeah 100 percent we will go the norway route uh big pretty big screen here and we will start exactly at 10. so let's get ready then all right we are now at swinosun this is the first turnaround point and uh according to trip meter it's supposed to be 114 kilometers to the roundabout and let me check the status oh it's 113.2 well this car is under reporting wait wait a minute what the heck are we supposed to do then it's under reporting by about well not much though uh it's supposed to be 114 something it's 113.5 ah no it's almost spot on yeah yeah so by the time we reach the roundabout he'll be 113.7 let's just make it one thousand yeah we make it one thousand we can always round down the time a little bit okay okay let's go back again [Music] [Music] we're now at the fourth challenge top as usual we come to the mail charging grillon this is my favorite spot you see we have four chargers here eight stalls but of course i want to have my own charges i get maximum speed which is 125 kilowatts so far so good let me show you man now in daylight without too much sun even though this car looks like a fossil car i have to say that it has a pretty nice and aggressive front so um all right but let me show you we are getting 125 kilowatt right now you can see it here this is the oh it's kind of hard to show you uh you see evie notify what what the heck there you see the number 125 we came every 13 so i have to figure out where my next stop is um yeah i actually don't have too much time so i have to hurry and go to the gas station and get some food go to the restroom this car charges so fast so we need to go to around 55 to 60 roughly and we have in this car display but i never use this one because i have i have whatever is in in evnotify well this is the luxury of having an enyak or id4 is that we're already at 45 minutes i went inside and bought some food and i think already in five minutes we should be leaving but no big deal we can charge a little bit i want to eat maybe at least one or two of these slices look at that oh yeah [Music] [Applause] [Music] nice [Music] [Applause] [Music] let's [Music] we are now at lee this is the exact same place we stopped with the id4 i came here with 11 i didn't dare to go further i could maybe reach oslo but it's a little bit cumbersome over there and here i like it because we have one two three four five six hundred fifty kilowatt fast charges there you're guaranteed to get the spot here so um yeah here we have uh the self-charging zoe look at it this nice cute little sewing here just blocking a charting station for no reason and then here we have littering norwegians they are not very intelligent people they litter you see i said oh is even corona i hate littering i don't want to touch that it could be sharp uh yeah it could be glass or over there just wanna take a look at the enyak again man this car is growing on me and also it turns out that enyak is quite efficient it is more efficient than the id4 so if it matters that you drive a lot on high speed runs then get any all right anyway let's go inside again yeah i need to test the headlights it has skoda crystal lighting lightning no lighting okay skoda crystal lighting i'm not sure if that one is the same as the ide thing because i feel like they are sharing the hardware like the mirrors seem to be the same and some of the interior lights and some other stuff like the screens so as usual i can fill me with film with the other via this one yeah 125 kilowatt [Music] we are now at minnesota this is going to be second the last charting stop the trip just went so fast and suddenly yeah and we need to eat i like this location because we have fast chargers right by the highway we also have stuff we can clean the windscreen with and we have noisy fossil oh summertime means noisy fossil motorcycles oh not my favorite thing but anyway we lost a bit of time here because uh the stuff in here they were really slow at communicating and making the taco salad so now that i'm about to eat we yeah we are almost good to go well actually i have about five more let's say ah about uh maybe five five more minutes i think five or ten more minutes but i'm gonna test this because i think this is this one adminison is better than the one a doll just the way they make it [Music] [Music] [Music] this is it the last running stop we are now at ionite door yeah so i just have to clean the windscreen remember remember to abc always be cleaning so we now need to drive only 169 more kilometers and we'll finish the challenge the hour speed right now is 97 kilometers per hour that is amazing after driving eight and a half hours see this car here has amazing speed as good as a tesla back in 2016 which is pretty good for today's standard 2021 standard so yeah let's just finish this this is the last journey stop four charging stops tottenham really nice oh yeah been charging for almost 20 minutes we're almost good to go i calculate i need exactly 60 so uh just gonna chill here and enjoy the last moments of the very fast charting stuff see 20 25 minute charting stop that's totally okay for me one hour charting stops good coke and i just felt like buying some buns yeah you suck okay try them okay not as good as aspartame but that will do oh look at that muslin is so nice and calm today yeah but anyway we are now on the last run so we have done 917 kilometers and consumption for the whole trip is 232 that is impressive wow for the id4 it was 251 so this again proves that the antioch is more efficient than id4 well okay so um we actually figured out that we have to subtract eight minutes total because of a little uh traffic roadworks and also had some problems at the previous charting session we'd look into the the live stream log and they found out that i lost three and a half minutes there so so that means we have to extract eight minutes from that that one oh that's it we have passed the 10 hour mark actually at 10 hour and one minute we have done 958 kilometers okay okay consumption is 234 all right so now we have to drive another uh 42 kilometers until we are done okay so the roads are quite empty right now so uh saturday evening at eight so i already have the low battery symbol here uh okay okay let's finish this all right let's do the countdown 9990 9991 992 993 994 995 996 2031 what what 20 31 oh okay i have to check after oh wow okay okay let's go home oh yeah we're back home now so after subtracting eight minutes it means that we did it in 10 hours and 25 minutes and if i remember correctly my spreadsheet claimed 10 20 or something i don't remember what i said this morning but you see my spreadsheet again estimates highly accurately the the result but the consumption was 233 watt amp kilometer and in the id4 run which is slightly colder it was 251 but again here we proved that the the enyak is in fact more efficient than id4 at high speed uh so it means that we are done 10 minutes faster than the id4 but you know under the same condition we might only be five minutes faster but they are pretty much neckline we're talking about over 10 hours of driving and charging here but it also means that the antioch should actually be able to match or maybe even slightly beat each one even and mod lex raven uh because those tests were done in nice nice summers so this is really impressive that we still have cars more and more cars are getting down to the 10 minute 10 hour mark because you guys have to remember what is the purpose of 1 000 kilometer challenge i made this challenge many years ago to simulate real world driving conditions because i had the range test that was more like uh semi slow you know you drive 90 kilometers per hour people don't understand the point of it but that actually simulates typical driving in norway or other places where you can't drive that fast for example if you're going to lapland somewhere you know or other places in the world like if you try to drive to holst you will see that there is no more way going all the way to holst for example or to the alps or somewhere but the 1000 comma challenge is more for when you have access to a malware and you just have to drive and drive and drive for example from paris to brussels from hamburg to uh let's say humble to stockholm something like that then this type of test is more relevant where you drive and then you charge and then you drive more and you have speed limits also but most good cars should be able to do it close to one to 10 hours and that's what we are seeing more and more now and then cars that does it in 12 13 14 hours they are not that fit for long trips not that long trips more like 300 to 500 kilometer trips so yes really impressive of anyak and then of course maybe i should conclude that which car should you get them well i say that if you drive a lot on motorways then you should go for the antioch because it's slightly more efficient but then if you drive not too fast for most norwegians then id4 will be also perfectly fine for you but of course the difference here in efficiency will be slightly greater in winter because then the air is more dense yeah but like i guess it's for you guys to figure out because i think you will also choose between anyak and id4 based on other preferences than just efficiency so anyway i think that's gonna be it for now i hope you guys enjoyed this video as always thank you for watching and talk to you later

The MEB platforms continues to impress.

What I'm mostly wondering now is how well the Enyaq 60, and corresponding mid-size battery ID.4 would do on longer trips. It's obviously worse, but by how much? 11 h? 12 h?

[u/thecoolness229]

Wish we could bring the Enyaq to NA, I like the idea of the id.4 but the Enyaq looks so much better.

[u/tdm121]

This is pretty good. Now we just need more 150 to 350 kw chargers .

[u/ActingGrandNagus]

Not a fan of the exterior, but I love the interior options of the Enyaq. And both Skodas I've had have been amazing. I mean my old Octavia came with a 1.9L TDI engine that kills people, but other than that it was great. I got 415,000 miles out of it, and it's still being used by someone else to this very day.

Not a fan of SUVs, but if Skoda made a Superb or Octavia based on MEB... well then I couldn't not buy one.

With all the talk of superior Tesla road tripping times because of their high charging speed and range, it really shows how little importance it actually has. A flat charging curve and decent range/efficiency is all that really matters.

It's odd that Bjorn doesn't want to do the 1000 km test in a Taycan. His chart shows his predicted time for the Taycan, which is 4-5 minutes faster than the model S raven... which would make it the fastest BEV to 1000 km. I guess "Tesla" Bjorn doesn't want Tesla to come in 2nd.

I like Bjorn's full vehicle test suite that he runs on every car. If he got rid of the Tesla favoritism, it would only improve his channel. Although, with the amount of free stuff he's gotten from Tesla, I imagine that would be hard to do. I also think he gives far too much priority to range in his tests. Range isn't the end all be all. Not everyone road trips, and not everyone likes to do 10+ hour jaunts at a time.

It'd also be nice if he could just "think" about the benefits of PHEVs, instead of blindly crapping on anything that burns fossil fuel. The big picture is what matters, the entire global car market as it applies to emissions. He seems to concentrate his efforts only on the individuals' experience, even if OEMs can only produce a limited quantity of BEVs.
