Transformation of School Run to Work Run: Skoda Enyaq becomes a Cargo Vehicle for Business Use
## Introducing the Škoda Enyaq Cargo: A Game-Changer in Electric Commercial Vehicles
The automotive landscape is shifting, and Škoda is leading the charge with its latest innovation - the **Škoda Enyaq Cargo**. This groundbreaking vehicle marks Škoda's return to the commercial vehicle market since the Felicia pick-up, offering a panel van conversion of the popular Enyaq SUV.
### Versatile and Efficient Performance
The Enyaq Cargo comes in two main variants: the rear-wheel-drive Enyaq 85 and the all-wheel-drive Enyaq 85x. Both models deliver impressive performance, with the Enyaq 85 boasting a combined WLTP range of up to **359 miles** (577 km) on a single charge, while the Enyaq 85x offers a WLTP range of up to **332 miles** (534 km) for situations requiring better traction[1][3][4].
When it comes to charging, the Enyaq 85 supports DC fast charging at speeds up to **135 kW**, allowing a 10-80% charge in approximately **28 minutes**[1][3][4]. The Enyaq 85x, with its all-wheel-drive capabilities, can charge at up to **175 kW**, providing faster charging to compensate for its slightly reduced range[1][3][4].
### Robust and Practical Design
The Enyaq Cargo is designed with practicality in mind, offering up to **1,620 liters** of cargo space with a flat load floor, tie-down points, and a metal bulkhead separating the front cabin[2]. It can handle a maximum payload of **1,000 kg**, making it suitable for urban trades like electricians or couriers[2].
In terms of technology, the Enyaq Cargo features a **13-inch central screen**, digital cluster, Apple CarPlay, sat-nav, and connected services. Optional extras include heated seats and a heat pump[2].
### Tailored for Fleet Customers
The conversion costs for the Enyaq Cargo start at **£1,815 plus VAT** and are aimed at fleet customers. The base vehicle price for the Enyaq Edition 85 starts from **£44,310** inclusive of VAT and registration charges[3][4].
The Enyaq Cargo is a perfect fit for city-focused operations, offering a balance between range, charging speed, and practicality for urban commercial use. It was initially developed for National Grid Energy Distribution (NGED), with the company already taking delivery of 70 units as part of its fleet decarbonisation plans.
This new addition to Škoda's lineup is officially registered as a light commercial vehicle (LCV) from new, marking a significant step forward in the brand's commitment to sustainable mobility solutions. The final costs for the Enyaq Cargo conversion depend on individual specification.
The transformation of the Enyaq Cargo includes replacing the rear passenger area with a high-strength, lightweight cargo compartment. A 10-80% top-up for the Enyaq Cargo can be achieved in under half an hour when plugged into a suitably powerful charger.
The Škoda Enyaq Cargo is set to redefine expectations for electric commercial vehicles, offering a blend of performance, practicality, and sustainability that is hard to match in the industry.
- Embracing the shift towards sustainable lifestyles, Škoda's newest innovation, the Škoda Enyaq Cargo, is not just a commercial vehicle; it's an electric-vehicle game-changer, demonstrating how technology can revolutionize our cars and our cities.
- With its robust design, practical features like up to 1,620 liters of cargo space and a maximum payload of 1,000 kg, and the versatility of two performance variants with impressive electric ranges, the Škoda Enyaq Cargo makes a compelling case for the merging of technology, cars, and lifestyle, particularly for urban trades and fleet customers.
