Skoda is engaged in intensive tests of its electric vehicle fleet based on ten Skoda Octavia Green E Line introduced recently. The current phase is all about new findings in operations under everyday conditions. Skoda has begun operating one of the Green E Line cars at Prague airport.
Everyday operating data will be especially important for fine-tuning the electric cars. These are to be delivered to selected partners in late March 2012 as a next step. The ten Octavia Green E Lines making up the test fleet are to provide Skoda with important customer-relevant insight regarding future development of electric traction all the way to series production readiness. This might involve solutions for usage or designing new functions, positioning the charging socket or the issue of how electric cars, being quiet by design, might make themselves heard in traffic.
