Electromobility on the Rise: Showcased at e-SALON
The e-SALON clean mobility fair was held at the Prague Exhibition Grounds in Letňany in mid-November. The Škoda brand attracted a lot of attention by exhibiting both the Vision O electric estate concept and the L&K 130 student car, as well as the Elroq and Enyaq models. Visitors also learned about the Škoda Explore service, which lets them rent electric cars for up to 15 days at a favourable rate. In five months, the service has reached 1,136 reservations with an average distance travelled of 723 kilometres. “The Škoda Explore service is the ideal first step into the world of electromobility. It offers potential customers a unique opportunity to try out an electric car in everyday use and test its capabilities, such as range on a single charge, in settings and situations they are familiar with,” emphasised Jiří Maláček, Head of VT – Sales and Marketing CZ. The Czech electric car market is growing. From January to October this year, 11,444 cars were registered, corresponding to a market share of 5.56%. The Škoda brand had 4,291 registrations during this period, with the Elroq model attracting the most interest.
