The ŠKODA iV ecosystem: Powerpass and three wall boxes

› Powerpass enables convenient charging throughout Europe using just a single card
› The pass includes access to Ionity fast-charging network
› ŠKODA iV Charger wall boxes for the home, including planning and installation support

Mladá Boleslav, 31 January 2022 – The charging infrastructure is key for making electromobility a success. That’s why ŠKODA AUTO is committed to building the ŠKODA iV ecosystem. Using just a single card, the Powerpass enables easy and convenient vehicle charging at points throughout Europe, including the Ionity fast-charging network. ŠKODA is also rapidly advancing the expansion of the charging infrastructure through its dealers. For charging at home, the car manufacturer offers its customers a choice of three different ŠKODA iV Charger wall boxes and supports them with planning and installation.

Using just a single card, the Powerpass allows ŠKODA customers to charge their vehicles at most of the current 260,000 charging points in the EU. These include most public charging stations as well as fast chargers on international traffic routes and trunk roads. ŠKODA is helping to develop the charging infrastructure by being involved in building the Ionity fast-charging network throughout Europe and the installation of publicly accessible charging points at ŠKODA dealerships. Buyers of a brand-new ŠKODA ENYAQ COUPÉ iV can benefit from reduced Powerpass rates for one year following tariff activation. The costs are in line with market standards and are charged to the customer in a transparent and convenient monthly Powerpass invoice. Owners of a brand-new ENYAQ COUPÉ iV opting for the Simply Charge tariff will get a discount on the base rate for one year, while those opting for the DC pack will receive the Charge Faster tariff for one year following activation, without having to pay the base rate.

ŠKODA offers three different types of iV wall boxes for at-home charging. Even the entry-level box, the ŠKODA iV Charger, is an ideal solution for safe charging at home. The ŠKODA iV Charger Connect wall box with LAN and Wi-Fi connection allows the charging process to be controlled remotely via the Powerpass app. This wall box also has an RFID reader, enabling the user to securely identify themselves before charging can begin, for example in residential car parks. The ŠKODA iV Charger Connect+ can communicate with the server over the mobile phone network via an LTE connection and is equipped with a certified electricity meter in addition to the RFID reader. The Powerpass app allows users to keep an eye on the energy used to charge the ENYAQ COUPÉ iV’s battery. Even before the purchase of a ŠKODA iV Charger wall box, ŠKODA AUTO will clarify all technical questions for the customer with its optional installation service. This eCheck process comprises four steps. First, the general suitability of the desired installation location is assessed in an online pre-check. The next step is to order the ŠKODA iV Charger wall box that meets the respective requirements. Then an installation partner checks the infrastructure on site before the ŠKODA iV Charger wall box is installed. Following a functional test, the Charger is ready to use.
