Skoda Epiq: Price, Range and Charging
Oct 27, 2026
)
The Skoda Epiq fits a 475-litre boot into a 4.17-metre body, and its French price starts at €26,470. Unveiled on 19 May 2026 in Zurich and built in Pamplona since June, Skoda's smallest electric SUV reaches dealerships with two battery chemistries, four trims and a launch series limited to 315 units. The most affordable version, called the 35, opens for orders in October; the 40 and the 55 are already in the catalogue. Between the two batteries on offer, the gap shows up at the charger as much as on the bill.
Epiq prices, from €26,470 to €39,050
Skoda offers the Epiq with three powertrains, named with a number that refers to the battery and the power output, and in three trims, City, Element and Clever, plus a Sportline with a bolder look. A First Edition tops the range, built on the most powerful version.
Version | Trim | Net battery | Power | List price incl. VAT |
Epiq 35 | City | 37 kWh LFP | 115 hp | €26,470 |
Epiq 40 | City | 37 kWh LFP | 135 hp | €27,670 |
Epiq 40 | Element | 37 kWh LFP | 135 hp | €29,750 |
Epiq 40 | Clever | 37 kWh LFP | 135 hp | €32,100 |
Epiq 55 | City | 52 kWh NMC | 211 hp | €32,070 |
Epiq 55 | Element | 52 kWh NMC | 211 hp | €34,150 |
Epiq 55 | Clever | 52 kWh NMC | 211 hp | €36,500 |
Epiq 55 | First Edition | 52 kWh NMC | 211 hp | €39,050 |

The Sportline trim, offered with two powertrains, starts at €38,600 and claims 311 to 427 km WLTP depending on the version. It gets sport seats and a sport steering wheel, as well as a more dynamic exterior look.
These prices are before incentives. In October 2026, Skoda deducts a CEE bonus of €3,450 from its advertised prices; the amount of this incentive depends on the buyer's profile and on the body paying it. The general conditions for this incentive, reserved for new cars sold for no more than €47,000 incl. VAT, weighing less than 2,400 kg and reaching the required environmental score, are set out on the Service-public.fr page dedicated to the Coup de Pouce.
Choosing between the LFP and NMC batteries
The Epiq 35 and 40 get a 37 kWh usable lithium-iron-phosphate battery. Skoda claims 275 to 310 km in the WLTP cycle for them depending on the version, figures that are still provisional. The Epiq 55 moves to a 52 kWh usable nickel-manganese-cobalt battery and reaches up to 441 km WLTP in City trim, with range dropping slightly with the larger wheels of the higher trims, 429 to 431 km on the First Edition.
At equal trim, the larger battery costs €4,400 more. For that premium, it brings about 130 km of rated range, 76 more hp and more powerful fast charging. LFP's strengths are its resilience to full charges and a gentler entry price; it is more than enough for anyone who charges at home and mostly drives around the city outskirts. NMC becomes the right choice as soon as 300 km trips come up several times a month.
At equal battery size, charging power also sets the 35 and 40 versions apart. On the Epiq 35, DC charging power tops out at 50 kW, against 88 kW on the Epiq 40 with the same battery. The €1,200 separating the 35 from the 40 in City trim therefore buys 20 more hp, and above all around ten minutes saved on every fast charge.
At a fast charger, 24 minutes from 10 to 80% on the larger battery
Skoda publishes the maximum charging power and the time needed to go from 10 to 80% for each powertrain.
Version | Max fast charging (DC) | 10 to 80% on DC | AC charging | Energy recovered from 10 to 80% |
Epiq 35 | 50 kW | about 35 min | 11 kW | about 26 kWh |
Epiq 40 | 88 kW | 23 min | 11 kW | about 26 kWh |
Epiq 55 | 105 kW | 24 min | 11 kW | about 36 kWh |

For just one more minute than the Epiq 40, the Epiq 55 puts 36 kWh back into its battery versus 26, which is 40% more energy for the same stop. Based on WLTP figures, the distance between two stops goes from about 215 km to 305 km. On the motorway, where consumption exceeds the rated figure, these distances shrink, but the proportion holds. Our guide to motorway charging helps you plan these stops.
Why charging time stops at 80%
Like any electric car, the Epiq does not hold its maximum power up to 80%. Charging power decreases as the battery fills up, which is why manufacturers quote the 10 to 80% range rather than a full charge.
Home charging on alternating current
All versions of the Epiq accept 11 kW on alternating current as standard. Skoda claims a 0 to 100% charge in 4 hours for the 37 kWh battery and in 5 hours 30 minutes for the 52 kWh one, on a three-phase wallbox. On a 7.4 kW single-phase wallbox, Skoda claims about 5 hours 30 minutes for the 37 kWh battery and 7 hours for the 52 kWh one: one night is enough in every case. It is also the cheapest way to charge, and the one most owners will favour day to day, keeping the fast charger for long trips.
A 475-litre boot in 4.17 metres
The Epiq measures 4,171 mm long, 1,798 mm wide and 1,581 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,601 mm. The boot is rated at 475 litres, including 25 litres under the floor, and 1,345 litres with the seats folded. A 25-litre front storage compartment is planned; in France, for now, it only appears in the First Edition's Premium Pack.
The V2L function, which lets you power an electrical device from the battery, is prepared as standard from the Element trim upwards (absent on the City), with the adapter announced as an accessory for late 2027. Skoda also plans V2H, to power a home with a certified bidirectional wallbox. The heat pump, useful for preserving range in winter, is an option at €990, with production announced from late November 2026.
The direct cousin of the Volkswagen ID. Polo and ID. Cross
The Epiq sits on the Volkswagen Group's front-wheel-drive MEB+ platform, the same one used by the Volkswagen ID. Polo, the Volkswagen ID. Cross and the Cupra Raval. Like them, it is built in Spain: the Epiq comes out of the Pamplona plant, where the ID. Cross is due to join it. This shared architecture explains why the spec sheets are so close; the differences come down to size, interior space and each brand's pricing policy.
Against the ID. Cross, its closest Volkswagen equivalent, the Epiq focuses on clear trim levels and a generous boot. Families who need more space will find the answer further up the Skoda range, with the Elroq and then the seven-seat Skoda Peaq.
Charging an Epiq on the Electra network
The Epiq charges via CCS connector at all of our fast charging stations. Our charge points deliver up to 400 kW, well beyond what the Epiq needs, so it will use its full charging power, 50, 88 or 105 kW depending on the version. With Autocharge, activated once in the app on a compatible vehicle, charging starts automatically when you plug in. The Electra station map lets you find stations along your route.
Without a subscription, electricity is billed between €0.39 and €0.61 incl. VAT per kilowatt-hour depending on demand, with the app. A 10 to 80% charge on an Epiq 55 takes about 36 kWh. With the Smart plan, the €0.20/kWh discount means a little over €7 saved on that single session, before deducting the subscription, enough to cover it with the first charge of the month.
The Electra+ subscription comes in two plans:
Electra+ Essential: €1.99/month with no commitment, €0.10/kWh discount on every charge on the Electra network.
Electra+ Smart: €4.99/month with no commitment, €0.20/kWh discount on every charge on the Electra network.
The details of Electra charging rates specify prices by payment method.

Key takeaways
The Skoda Epiq plays the cards of usable space and simplicity, with a price starting at €26,470. Which version to pick depends on how you use it: the Epiq 40 suits city driving and regular trips with home charging, while the Epiq 55 is the one for anyone who covers a lot of road.
