Škoda has announced the name of the first MEB-based all-electric vehicle by the brand. The Škoda Enyaq is derived from the Irish "Enya" which means "source of life" with the characteristic "Q" of Škoda's SUV family at the end. The "E" at the beginning of the name stands for electromobility. The Škoda Enyaq is the next of the series of more than ten electric models that will be launched under the Škoda iV sub-brand by the end of 2022. By 2025, Škoda expects all-electric vehicles and models with plug-in hybrid drives to account for 25% of sales. The photo accompanying the press release shows the lettering on the rear of the SUV.
