Skoda Enyaq 85 EV charger: which one fits best?
The Skoda Enyaq 85 carries the largest battery in the Enyaq range and charges at the full 11 kW. A three-phase charger supplies current on three phases at once, and the Enyaq 85 uses all three. That is the quickest alternating-current speed in the Enyaq line-up. With a battery this size every kilowatt counts. A charger that holds 11 kW all night fills it from empty.

Which EV charger suits the Skoda Enyaq 85?
A battery this large asks for a charger that holds a steady 11 kW through the night. Two features are worth weighing.
Dynamic load balancing is the first. The charger keeps measuring how much current the rest of your home draws. It lowers the charging power when it has to, which prevents your main fuse from being overloaded. You can compare them in our range of EV chargers with dynamic load balancing.
A built-in MID meter is the second. MID stands for the European Measuring Instruments Directive, and a MID meter is a calibrated kWh meter. It sits inside the charger, so it counts your charging apart from the rest of your household use. The calibration is what makes that reading legally valid.
You therefore see exactly what charging at home costs you. On a car that charges as much as the Enyaq 85, those kilowatt hours mount up quickly. We carry chargers with this meter at 11 kW and at 22 kW. Every one of them is three-phase. Compare them in our range of charging stations with a MID meter.

How long does the Skoda Enyaq 85 take to charge?
A usable battery of roughly 77 kWh divided by 11 kW comes to about seven hours for a full charge. Plug the car in at 23:00 and it is full by morning, without any planning on your part.
On a single-phase connection the ceiling depends on the current the charger can deliver on that one phase. At 16 A that is 3.7 kW. At 32 A it is 7.4 kW, which the Enyaq 85 accepts. That does ask for a charger built for 32 A on one phase. Watch out for one thing here. A three-phase 11 kW charger delivers 16 A per phase, so on a single phase it stops at 3.7 kW. For a battery of this size a three-phase connection is well worth having.
Other versions of the Skoda Enyaq
Wallbox Discounter also publishes charging advice for the other versions of the Skoda Enyaq:

Frequently asked questions
Does the Skoda Enyaq 85 need a three-phase connection?
For the full 11 kW, yes. On a single phase the ceiling follows the current. At 16 A that is 3.7 kW, and at 32 A it is 7.4 kW with a charger built for that current. Note that a three-phase 11 kW charger supplies 16 A per phase. On a single-phase connection such a model therefore stops at 3.7 kW. With this battery, three-phase is the logical choice.
Is load balancing necessary for the Skoda Enyaq 85?
Not always, but it is sensible when your home has little headroom on its main fuse. The charger then lowers the charging power for a while, which keeps that fuse from being overloaded.
How do I get the charger installed?
We arrange installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. We ship chargers worldwide, but we install only in those three countries. In Germany it runs through a free quotation rather than an order you place online. Wherever you live, have the connection to your fuse box made by a qualified electrician. That is safer, and it matters for your insurance.
