What the numbers say

- Call it a tie: €897 apart over 5 years is inside the noise of estimates like these — choose on fit and charging access, not on cost.
- The Skoda Enyaq 85 pulls ahead of the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid 1.6 T-GDi 239hp Comfort Plus if you drive more than about 17,500 km/yr.
- On cost per month the Skoda Enyaq 85 ranks #10 of 16 EV models we track in Ireland.
- Where the Skoda Enyaq 85's €46,493 actually goes: depreciation €28,508 (61%), financing interest €8,083 (17%), charging €4,155 (9%), insurance €3,400 (7%), maintenance €1,748 (4%), registration & fees €600 (1%).
- Per km, that is €0.38 of depreciation and €0.06 of charging, with €0.18 for everything else — €0.62/km all-in.

What we assume for maintenance
Assumed €350/yr for an EV at 15,000 km/yr — about €1,748 of the 5-year total above. On this market's assumptions an EV runs about €351/yr less in maintenance than a petrol car (€350 vs €701). See the methodology for sources; adjustable in the calculator.
Cost to charge the Skoda Enyaq 85 at home
The Skoda Enyaq 85 runs about €4.26 per 100 km at home — versus about €12.81 for a typical 7 L/100km petrol car. Home charging only (the ~12% AC charging loss is included); public DC fast-charging is billed per session by each network — often 2–3× the home rate — and isn't in these figures.
- Per 100 km at home
- €4.2615 kWh/100km + 12% charging loss × €0.25/kWh
