Borne de recharge Skoda Superb iV : laquelle choisir ?

The Skoda Superb iV liftback is a plug-in hybrid with a 13 kWh battery. At home, it charges at up to 3.6 kW through a Type 2 connection. That low charging power has a pleasant consequence: you do not need an expensive high-power charger. A basic EV charger can easily recharge the battery overnight. A 22 kW charger will not save you any time, so choose a charger for its features rather than its maximum power. You can compare more models from the brand in our overview of Skoda EV chargers.

For the Skoda Superb iV, we recommend a charger from our range of 11 kW EV chargers.

Charging specifications of the Skoda Superb iV

Why 3.6 kW is enough for the Superb iV

With a fully electric car, you often want the highest charging power available. With a plug-in hybrid such as the Superb iV, things work differently. The car itself limits AC charging to 3.6 kW. Connect it to an 11 kW or 22 kW EV charger and the charging power remains 3.6 kW. A charger cannot supply more power to the car than the car can accept. You would therefore be paying for charging power that this vehicle cannot use.

At 3.6 kW, the battery is full again in about 3.5 hours. Plug the Superb iV in during the evening and the next morning you can drive the first 55 kilometres fully electric. For daily commuting, this means a large proportion of your journeys can be driven without using petrol. The Superb iV has a Type 2 connection, like almost every modern EV charger. You only need a separate Type 2 charging cable at a public charge point or when using a charger with a socket.

Which EV charger suits the Skoda Superb iV?

Because the Superb iV charges at 3.6 kW, almost any home EV charger is technically suitable. Your choice is therefore not about speed, but about convenience and smart features. A charger with a built-in MID meter is a good choice. This is a certified kWh meter inside the charger that accurately records the electricity used for charging. This makes it easier to separate the car's charging consumption from the rest of your household use and provides a reliable figure for reimbursement by an employer or leasing company.

App control is another useful feature. You can set a start time so the Superb iV charges when it suits you rather than immediately when you plug it in. You can also see how much energy each charging session added to the battery. Chargers with this functionality can be found among our EV chargers with an app.

You can find both features in our range of 11 kW EV chargers, while models with a certified meter are grouped under EV chargers with a MID meter. If you want a simple starting point, our EV home chargers bring together the models intended for home charging.

How long does the Skoda Superb iV take to charge?

The calculation is simple. Divide the usable 10.4 kWh battery capacity by the charging power of 3.6 kW. That gives just under three hours of theoretical charging time. In practice, it takes about 3.5 hours from empty to full, including charging losses. A more powerful charger does not change this. The car sets the charging speed, not the charger. For the Superb iV, overnight charging is therefore more than sufficient.

The Superb iV compared with electric Skoda models

Within the Skoda range, the Superb iV is a plug-in hybrid. It partly runs on petrol, which is why it has a relatively small battery and low charging power. If you drive fully electric, the Enyaq models are more relevant. They have much larger batteries and can charge three-phase at up to 11 kW, so a more powerful EV charger is useful there. The Skoda Enyaq 85 is a clear example. You can find the rest of the range in our overview of Skoda EV chargers.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Skoda Superb iV need a three-phase charger?

Not for charging speed. The Superb iV charges single-phase at 3.6 kW, so a single-phase connection would be sufficient for the car itself. You can use a three-phase charger, but the car will not charge any faster. A three-phase model is mainly useful for additional features or if you want to charge a more powerful EV in the future.

Why does a MID meter matter on the Superb iV?

A MID meter records the electricity used for charging accurately with a certified kWh meter. This allows you to see how much electricity the car uses separately from the rest of the household. It is also useful when charging costs need to be reimbursed by an employer or leasing company.

Can you connect the Skoda Superb iV at home without an electrician?

That depends on where you live. In several countries, only a registered or qualified electrician may connect a fixed EV charger to the electrical installation. We recommend using a qualified electrician in any case, because this is safer and can also be important for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter can arrange the installation through our fixed installation partner. You can book it with your charger in the Netherlands and Flemish Belgium, while in Germany the process starts with a free quotation.
