Skoda Enyaq iV RS EV charger: which one fits best?
The Skoda Enyaq iV RS is the sportiest Enyaq, with two electric motors and all-wheel drive. At home it charges over an 11 kW alternating current (AC) charger. The sporty drivetrain buys no extra charging speed, so the choice comes down to the charger itself. Battery and charging power differ per version. Compare them in our Skoda Enyaq EV chargers overview, or browse all Skoda EV chargers.
For the Skoda Enyaq iV RS we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger suits the Skoda Enyaq iV RS?
The Enyaq iV RS charges at up to 11 kW AC at home. A more powerful charger buys you nothing, because the car sets the ceiling, not the unit. So aim at features rather than kilowatts.
To use all 11 kW you need a three-phase connection. That means three separate live wires running into your meter box. With only one phase available, an 11 kW charger drops back to 3.7 kW. Even a single-phase 32 amp charger tops out at 7.4 kW. Filling a 77 kWh battery then takes twelve hours or more, so it is worth asking your electrician about three phases.
A built-in MID meter is worth asking for. That is a certified kWh meter. It logs your charging separately from the rest of the house. So you know exactly what driving this car costs you at home. Be aware that the choice is narrow at 11 kW. In our range the MID meter is a three-phase feature. Only a small part of our charging stations with MID meter covers 11 kW; the rest are 22 kW units.
The second feature that earns its place on a 77 kWh battery is dynamic load balancing. The charger measures what your meter box has to spare and adjusts the power as it goes. That keeps the circuit from tripping when several appliances run at once. Our EV chargers with dynamic load balancing do this automatically.
For the Enyaq iV RS, 11 kW is the sensible maximum, and you will find every one of them in our 11 kW EV chargers. Our EV home chargers show the everyday options side by side. We give independent advice, because we are not a brand-tied dealer.
How long does the Skoda Enyaq iV RS take to charge?
With a usable battery of 77 kWh and 11 kW going in, a full charge takes about 7 hours on paper. In practice, count on roughly 8 hours 15 minutes, because the last stretch slows down and some energy is lost as heat. Plug the Enyaq iV RS in for the evening and it is full by morning.
Away from home you charge on direct current at up to 175 kW. A short stop then adds a serious amount of range.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Skoda Enyaq iV RS charge faster than the other Enyaq versions?
Not at home. Despite the sporty dual-motor drivetrain, the Enyaq iV RS charges on alternating current at 11 kW. The iV 60 and iV 80 do the same. Only the entry-level iV 50 charges more slowly, at 7.2 kW. On a rapid charger the RS does take direct current at up to 175 kW.
Does the Skoda Enyaq iV RS need a three-phase connection?
To get the full 11 kW at home, yes: you need three phases at 16 amps each. With a single-phase connection you charge more slowly and a full battery takes far longer. A qualified electrician can tell you what your meter box allows and what upgrading would involve.
Why does a MID meter matter for the Enyaq iV RS?
A MID certified kWh meter records your charging accurately and separately from your household use. That tells you what a kilometre in this car actually costs at home. At 11 kW the choice is narrow, so check the specification before you order.
Ordering and installation
You order your charger on its own, or with installation included in the Netherlands and Flemish Belgium. In Germany the installation runs through a free quotation. We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician, because it is safer and it matters for your insurance. We ship worldwide, but outside those three countries you arrange the fitting locally.
