Škoda CITIGOe iV is in high demand in its home market. Now, it is slightly better equipped and pricier.
It seems that the all-new Škoda CITIGOe iV really revived the electric car segment in Czech Republic, as Škoda reportedly already received 500 orders for its first BEV model.
For comparison, during the first half of 2019, only 360 new all-electric cars (and 134 PHEVs) were registered in Škoda’s home market.
The launch edition of the first 500 cars was sold from 429,900 CZK (€16,805/$18,610), having automatic air conditioning and DC charging port as standard.
After the first 500 units, Škoda tweaked the offer a little bit, extending the list of standard equipment (see details here), but also increasing the price to 479,900 CZK (€18,760/$20,773).
With new plug-in hybrids and BEVs from Škoda on the horizon, we should see tremendous growth of plug-in car sales in the Czech Republic in 2020.
