Skoda Enyaq iV 80 EV charger: which one fits best?

The Skoda Enyaq iV 80 charges at home on alternating current at up to 11 kW. That is the number that fixes the power of your charger. A charger that can go heavier gives you nothing extra, because the car never draws more than 11 kW. An 11 kW charger is therefore the sensible middle ground for this version. The Skoda Enyaq EV chargers overview compares the other versions. Our Skoda EV chargers page covers the rest of the range.

For the Skoda Enyaq iV 80 we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Charging specifications of the Skoda Enyaq iV 80

Which EV charger suits the Skoda Enyaq iV 80?

Because the iV 80 charges at 11 kW, an 11 kW charger on a three-phase connection is the logical choice. Three-phase means three phases of 16 amps each. Only a single-phase connection at home? Then the car charges at 7.4 kW on 32 amps, or 3.7 kW on 16 amps. That is worth checking before you order.

After the power rating, look at how the charger behaves in a full house. Load balancing is the one that matters most here. The charger measures how much power the rest of your home is using. It then lowers the charging speed on its own. That way a full 77 kWh charge overnight does not overload your main fuse. Our EV chargers with dynamic load balancing do that automatically.

A built-in MID meter is the second thing to weigh. That is a certified kWh meter. It records what you charge at home separately from the rest of your electricity. You then see exactly what a full battery costs you, instead of losing it in one household bill. At 11 kW the choice of models carrying that meter is narrow. Browse our EV chargers with a MID meter early on. An EV charger with an app rounds it off by moving the session to cheaper night hours.

Our home EV chargers gather everything built for a private driveway, so start there if you want to compare more broadly. At home the iV 80 uses the fixed type 2 connection on the charger. A loose type 2 charging cable is only needed for public charging points.

How long does the Skoda Enyaq iV 80 take to charge?

With a useable 77 kWh battery and 11 kW of charging power, reckon on about seven hours of pure charging. In practice a full 0 to 100% charge lands closer to eight hours, because charging tapers off near the top. Plug the car in around 11 in the evening and it is full by morning. On the road the iV 80 takes up to approximately 135 kW at a DC rapid charger. Half an hour there puts a serious amount of range back in.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Skoda Enyaq iV 80 need a three-phase connection?

For the full 11 kW, yes. The iV 80 charges three-phase, so a three-phase connection at home gives you the whole 11 kW. On a single phase the car reaches 7.4 kW at 32 amps and 3.7 kW at 16 amps.

Is a 22 kW EV charger worth it for the iV 80?

No. The Skoda Enyaq iV 80 draws 11 kW at most at home. A 22 kW charger fills this version exactly as fast as an 11 kW one. The extra power stays unused. The same ceiling applies to the iV 80X, which differs in drive rather than charging speed.

Why does a MID meter matter for the iV 80?

Because you charge most of those 77 kWh at home. That is a real share of your electricity bill. The MID meter keeps it separate from the household total, so you see exactly what driving costs you.

Should I have the Skoda Enyaq iV 80 charger installed?

We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician. That is safer and it matters for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. We ship worldwide, but outside those three countries you arrange the installation locally.
