Škoda Makes Car Camping More Comfy
Owners of Škoda’s electric vehicles can now make use of a new Camp Mode to maintain a constant temperature overnight, if they’re kipping in their car.
An update to the MyŠkoda app means that drivers of the Epiq, Elroq, Enyag and Peaq can now have a climate-controlled sleep, as long as there’s at least 30 per cent charge in the battery pack.
Car camping is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to pitching a tent for an overnight stop on a road trip, with SUVs offering sufficient space to lie flat in the back, and offering the kind of weather protection that no canvas can compete with.
Drivers of many EVs - now including Škodas - can stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter by running their car’s heating and ventilation system. In a combustion powered car you’d have to fire up the engine to do the same thing - which just isn’t practical or responsible.
For those who enjoy the spontaneity and freedom that car camping allows, but with added comfort, Škoda can now be added to the list of camping candidates.
