Skoda's first electric car for 1 September debut

Skoda will be revealing its first fully electric car in Prague in 1 September, writes Brian Byrne.

The Enyaq iV will be an SUV based on the Volkswagen Group's dedicated MEB electric vehicle platform.

It will be available with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and the company says it will have a range of up to 500km.

The online broadcast of the car's premiere will be the highlight event of a year in which the carmaker celebrates its 125th anniversary.
