At the same time as purchasing electric cars, the bank decided to build 170 new charging stations in Prague and other regions. “Cars with a battery capacity of 62 kW will be distributed taking into account the production capacities of the Mladá Boleslav plant and the speed of installation of charging stations,” Komerční banka said in its statement. Last year, Škoda Auto delivered 44.7 thousand Enyaq iV cars to the market.
The carmaker experienced a difficult year last year, when it reported a drop of 126 thousand cars and delivered a total of 878 thousand of them to the market. The reason for the decline was the coronavirus pandemic and the crisis with a lack of chips in on-board electronics. The best-selling model remained the Octavia, of which the company delivered 200,000, which was a fifth less year-on-year.
