Skoda has today launched the all-new CITIGOe iV electric car at an event in Bratislava, Slovakia. This is the Czech car manufacturer’s first ever electric car and is a zero-emissions iteration of the internal combustion engine model. Skoda stated that “the era of mobility begins today” as the car silently edged onto the stage. Engineers described the launch of the CITIGOe iV as a ‘very special moment’ and described the EV as the ‘perfect e-car for the city’ and they may have a point.

The compact electric car is priced ‘well below €20,000’ which suggests a sub-£17,500 in the UK, making it relatively affordable.
One issue people have with electric cars, especially those of this price point, is that they don’t have a very ‘useable’ real world range.
However, the new Skoda electric car has 265km (165-miles) of real-world range on the WLTP standards.
This will be suitable for the vast majority of motorists and the car will likely take on sister company’s VW’s e-Up and the Renault Zoe, which it has less range than.
