If, on the side of SEAT and CUPRA, the goal is to launch six plug-in electric and hybrid models by 2021, on Skoda hosts the goal is to have 10 (!) electrified models by 2022. For this, the Czech brand created a sub-brand, iV, and has already unveiled its first 100% electric model, the citigoe iV.
Like the SEAT Mii electric, the Citigoe iV has a motor from 83 hp (61 kW) and 210 Nm , numbers that allow Skoda's first tram to meet the 0 to 100 km/h in 12.5s and reach 130 km/h of maximum speed.
Available only in the five-door body, the electric version of the Citigo will be available in two equipment levels: Ambition and Style.
Three ways of loading
Equipped with a battery of 36.8 kWh of capacity, the Citigo electric has an autonomy of up to 265 km (already according to the WLTP cycle). Charging can be done in three different ways.

The simplest (and slower) allows you to charge up to 80% of the battery in 12h37min on a 2.3kW outlet. The other two options require their own cables (available as standard in the Style version) and take, respectively, 4h8min in a 7.2 kW wallbox and an hour using a 40 kW CCS (Combined Charging System) system.
iV, the new subbrand
Finally, with regard to the iV sub-brand, it is intended to develop a series of electrified models and new mobility services, representing an investment of two billion euros over the next five years (the largest investment program in history from Skoda).
