Škoda Elroq
Charging curve · consumption · motorway range
The Škoda Elroq has 77 kWh of usable battery and peaks at 165 kW on a DC charger. In this app's model it uses about 179 Wh/km at a steady 100 km/h and 262 Wh/km at 130, so 47% more energy per kilometre buys you 30 km/h more speed. Weigh that against a 30-minute 10-80% charging stop and you have the whole question of how fast to drive.

DC charging curve
Charging power against state of charge, on a charger fast enough not to be the limit. Peak power is 165 kW, but it has halved by about 64% state of charge. That is why a short stop low down the curve usually beats a long one near the top.
How long a stop takes
| Charge from | Time | Energy added | Average power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10% to 80% | 30 min | 53.9 kWh | 107 kW |
| 20% to 80% | 27 min | 46.2 kWh | 101 kW |
| 10% to 60% | 16 min | 38.5 kWh | 140 kW |
| 20% to 70% | 20 min | 38.5 kWh | 118 kW |
| 80% to 100% | 29 min | 15.4 kWh | 32 kW |

Consumption and range by cruise speed
Steady motorway cruising on flat road in mild weather, from the fitted model Wh/km = 58 + 0.0121 · v². The “usable range” column is the honest one for trip planning: it is 100% down to 10%, because nobody arrives on empty.
| Cruise speed | Consumption | Range (full pack) | Usable range (100 to 10%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90 km/h | 156 Wh/km | 494 km | 444 km |
| 100 km/h | 179 Wh/km | 430 km | 387 km |
| 110 km/h | 204 Wh/km | 377 km | 339 km |
| 120 km/h | 232 Wh/km | 332 km | 298 km |
| 130 km/h | 262 Wh/km | 293 km | 264 km |
| 140 km/h | 295 Wh/km | 261 km | 235 km |
| 150 km/h | 330 Wh/km | 233 km | 210 km |
| 160 km/h | 368 Wh/km | 209 km | 188 km |
What the model does not include
- Elevation. The trip planner does account for climbs and descents; the range figures on this page are flat-road, so an alpine route will come out worse than the table.
- Temperature. These are mild-weather numbers. Cold raises consumption and cuts the charging curve. The planner models both. The numbers on this page do not.
- Wind, rain, roof boxes, payload and tyre choice, all of which move real consumption more than most people expect.
- Charger-side limits. The charging times above assume the site can deliver whatever the car asks for. A 150 kW cabinet shared with the car next to you will not.
Where these numbers come from
VW MEB, 2025-on pack and rear motor: a taller peak than the 120/135 kW generation and a much later taper, so these want a single long stop where the older MEB cars wanted two short ones. Curve fitted to the 10-80% time and average power published by EV Database, cross-checked against the manufacturer's own charging figures. Fitted to the MY27 Elroq 85. Škoda's own press kit and EV Database disagree on this car's peak (135 vs 165 kW) because they describe different model years; the later figure is used, and it is the one to re-check first if these numbers ever look wrong.
What speed should you actually drive?
It depends on your route, on where the fast chargers happen to be and how the legal limits fall. Plan the real trip and the simulator will sweep every cruise speed against this car's curves and tell you which one arrives first.
