Hello. I’m Andrew Hunter Murray, one of the hosts of No Such Thing As A Fish, the fact-filled podcast from the makers of QI. Back in 2014, there were just 10,000 electric cars in the whole of Britain; today, there are over a million. We’ve changed too – all four of the hosts of NSTAAF are either driving EVs already or will be for our next car. I’ve been taking an Enyaq for a spin and researching the electric revolution along the way – and as Christmas is coming, here is our present to you, a collection of bizarre facts from the world of electric motoring…

Škoda produced its one-millionth battery system.The carmaker has been manufacturing high voltage traction batteries since 2019, when it launched battery production for the Superb iV with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The company is focused exclusively on producing larger batteries for fully electric vehicles based on the MEB platform; two assembly lines achieve a combined daily output of 1,500 units. These batteries, with capacities ranging from 55 to 91 kWh (net capacity 52 to 86 kWh), are installed in the Škoda Enyaq and Škoda Elroq as well as other Volkswagen Group brands.

The all-new Škoda Kodiaq has added to its remarkable tally of industry accolades with another best-in-category title. The Czech seven-seater SUV was crowned Best Family Car at the 2024 Scottish Car of the Year Awards, seven years after the first-generation its first SCOTY award.

Two of Škoda’s newest arrivals have been honoured in the 2025 Carwow Car of the Year Awards. The all-new Superb and Kodiaq, which arrived in the UK earlier this year, were both recognised as exceptional offerings in their respective classes with the Superb topping its category and the Kodiaq winning a ‘Highly Commended’ accolade. In selecting its winners, the Carwow jury considered more than 100 new models before awarding just 13 category winners.

Škoda Auto India unveils the all-new Škoda Kylaq, the Czech brand’s first model in the popular sub-4-metre segment, which accounts for nearly 50% of sales in the Indian car market. The Kylaq SUV is the first model in India to adopt elements of Škoda’s new Modern Solid design language. It is powered by an efficient 1.0 TSI engine and features more than 25 active and passive safety features as standard. The latest addition to Škoda’s line-up, developed and produced locally for the Indian market, will hit the roads in early 2025 with a very competitive price tag of INR 789,000 (around EUR 8,700).

Škoda is partnering with digital newspaper and magazine reading app Readly to offer owners free access to the brand’s extensive library of content. The partnership, which gives Škoda owners two months of free reading on the Readly app, is the first of its kind in the automotive market.

Škoda maintains its positive momentum: deliveries to customers in the first nine months of 2024 increased to 671,300 vehicles (+4.5% YoY). This growth was supported by a strong third quarter, with 222,700 vehicles delivered (+6%). The automaker is performing particularly well in Europe, outpacing the overall European market. The company’s financial figures underscore its position of strength: revenue increased to €20.4 billion (+3.8%), operating profit rose by 34.8% to €1.7 billion, and the return on sales (RoS) reached 8.3% (6.4%).
