Skoda Enyaq Home Charging UK: Cost per Charge, Time & Best Chargers
Vehicle guide
The 77 kWh Enyaq 85 fills in about 10½ hours on a 7 kW wallbox and costs under £6 on an off-peak tariff. Intelligent Go works through the car; Battery Care keeps it at 80%; here's the charger to fit.

Charging time estimates
Approximate AC charging times
| Charge window | 3-pin (~2.3kW) | 7kW | 11kW max |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20–80% | 21h 40m | 7h 10m | 4h 30m |
| 0–100% | 36h 10m | 11h 55m | 7h 35m |
Assumes 8% charging losses and rounded 5-minute estimates. 3-pin assumes about 2.3kW; 7kW uses up to 7kW; three-phase only appears when the vehicle can accept more than 7.4kW AC.
Vehicle-specific tariff cost
Skoda Enyaq 85 charging cost at 10,000 miles.
EV electricity only, using 3.6 miles per kWh and assuming every charging kWh reaches the listed lower rate. Household electricity and the postcode-dependent standing charge sit outside these figures.

The hardware
The Enyaq (SUV and Coupé, facelifted in 2025) charges through a Type 2 inlet on the rear right wing. Reverse in and the socket faces the house; nose-in parking wants a 7.5 m cable. The on-board charger is 11 kW on every version, which means 7.2 kW on a UK single-phase supply and the full 11 kW on three-phase. A 6 m Type 2 cable is in the boot; the 3-pin lead is an extra.
DC peaks at 135–175 kW depending on version, 185 kW on the vRS: motorway numbers that have no bearing on home charging.
Variants (2026)
| Variant | Battery (usable) | Max AC | Max DC | WLTP range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enyaq 60 | 58 kWh | 11 kW | ~135 kW | 283 miles |
| Enyaq 85 (RWD) | 77 kWh | 11 kW | 175 kW | 378 miles |
| Enyaq 85x (AWD) | 77 kWh | 11 kW | 175 kW | 360 miles |
| Enyaq vRS | 77 kWh | 11 kW | 185 kW | 349 miles |
Usable capacities from EV Database; Skoda UK quotes 79 kWh net for the 85, so 77–79 is the honest range. Coupé figures are a few miles higher. Real-world range for the 85 is about 280 miles.
How long it takes to charge the Enyaq
The figures below are for the Enyaq 85, the version most people buy, with its 77kWh usable battery.
20% to 80%, the everyday window
| Supply | Charge time (20–80%) | Range added |
|---|---|---|
| 3-pin socket (~2.3 kW) | ~20 hours | ~166 miles |
| 7 kW wallbox | ~6 hours | ~166 miles |
| 11 kW three-phase | ~4.2 hours | ~166 miles |
Full charges are overnight on single-phase and evening-length on three-phase. Most nights you are replacing 30–50 miles, which is two hours either way.
0% to 100%
| Supply | Charge time (0–100%) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 3-pin socket (~2.3 kW) | ~33½ hours | Emergency use only |
| 7 kW wallbox (single-phase) | ~10½ hours | The standard overnight charge |
| 11 kW wallbox (three-phase) | ~7 hours | Only if the house has a three-phase supply |
Costs
The tariff does most of the work. The Enyaq returns about 3.6 mi/kWh in real-world UK driving.
Cost per full charge (77kWh)
| Tariff | Rate | 0–100% | 20–80% |
|---|---|---|---|
| EDF GoElectric | 6.66p/kWh | £5.13 | £3.08 |
| Octopus Intelligent Go | 7.6p/kWh | £5.85 | £3.51 |
| Octopus Go | 9.5p/kWh | £7.32 | £4.39 |
| British Gas EV Power | 9.5p/kWh | £7.32 | £4.39 |
| Standard variable (Ofgem cap) | 26.32p/kWh | £20.27 | £12.16 |
| Public rapid charger | 79p/kWh | £60.83 | £36.50 |
Annual charging cost at 10,000 miles
| Tariff | Cost per mile | Annual cost |
|---|---|---|
| Octopus Intelligent Go | 2.1p/mile | £211 |
| Octopus Go | 2.6p/mile | £264 |
| Standard variable | 7.3p/mile | £731 |
| Public rapid only | 21.9p/mile | £2,194 |
| Petrol equivalent | ~19p | ~£1,900 |
Petrol assumes 40 mpg at £1.45 a litre. The electricity figures are charging only: no standing charge, and no allowance for the 5–10% lost between the wall and the battery.
The gap between the standard rate and a good EV tariff is several hundred pounds a year on typical mileage, and it costs nothing to close. The interactive savings calculator runs the numbers for your mileage; the UK EV Charging Cost Index compares every tariff per mile.
NMC battery and the 80% habit
The Enyaq's NMC pack wants the same treatment as every MEB-platform car: 80% for daily use, 100% for trips. Skoda's Battery Care mode enforces the 80% ceiling and, usefully, resets itself to 80% after you have charged to 100%, so you cannot forget to put it back.
That same behaviour is the most common "my Enyaq won't charge past 80%" complaint: the in-car limit overrides whatever the app says (Enyaq forum thread). If a trip charge stops short, raise the limit on the car's screen, not just in MyŠkoda.
Smart tariffs and the Enyaq
Intelligent Octopus Go can control the car directly through the manufacturer's app, so any charger works: the charger is just a socket, and Octopus tells the car when to draw. Skoda is on Octopus's car-side list, so Intelligent Go runs through MyŠkoda with any charger; the integration was offline for part of 2025, so a charger with its own Octopus link is sensible insurance. OVO Charge Anytime lists Skoda as well. For Octopus Go or EDF GoElectric, the car's departure timer does the job.
Choosing a charger
Every home charger on this site works with the Enyaq: Type 2 is universal for UK AC charging. The car can do the scheduling itself, so the decision is cable length, price and whether you want a backup supplier link.
- Tesla Wall Connector at £475: a 7.3 m tethered cable and a four-year warranty for the least money of any premium-feeling unit. It works with any Type 2 car.
- Ohme Home Pro at £559: Octopus, OVO and E.ON links in the charger itself, so a Skoda server outage does not cost you a cheap night.
- myenergi zappi at £684: for homes with solar. A 77 kWh pack soaks up a summer day's surplus, and the zappi also carries the Octopus and OVO links.
Full head-to-heads are on the charger comparison page, and the smart-tariff chargers guide covers which units talk to which supplier.
Common questions
Can I charge an Enyaq from a 3-pin plug?
Yes, with Skoda's optional lead or any portable charger, at about 2.3 kW. That is 8 miles an hour and more than a day for a full charge; fine in an emergency. 3-pin guide.
Does the Enyaq work with Intelligent Octopus Go?
Yes, through the MyŠkoda app; no special charger needed. Run Octopus's eligibility checker before switching, as the Skoda link has had outages.
Enyaq or Enyaq Coupé: any difference at home?
None. Same packs, same 11 kW on-board charger, same socket position.
Does the Enyaq support vehicle-to-grid?
Not on current UK cars. Skoda has spoken about bidirectional charging for the platform; nothing is live.
