Mladá Boleslav, 9 December 2024 – A digital voice assistant with AI support, comprehensive vehicle control via the MyŠkoda app and Škoda Charger wallboxes for convenient home charging: the all-new Škoda Elroq provides state-of-the-art connectivity. The MyŠkoda app offers numerous options and special services for electric vehicles and can also control the Škoda Charger wallboxes.
Newly designed MyŠkoda app offering a wealth of functions
The redesigned MyŠkoda app combines numerous options and services in a single application, making it the perfect control centre for Elroq owners. With its intuitive, clean and straightforward design, the app now also offers access to the Powerpass in addition to controlling numerous vehicle functions, from locking and unlocking the doors to Remote Parking.
The Elroq’s Škoda Connect services now also include Lock & Unlock, allowing users to lock or unlock their vehicle through the MyŠkoda app, with no distance limitations.
Furthermore, the Powerpass is now integrated directly in the MyŠkoda app, granting access to more than 800,000 charging points across Europe. Drivers can also take advantage of the Plug & Charge option, enabling seamless charging at public stations without the need for external authorisation methods like RFID cards or apps. Compatible charging stations appear in the MyŠkoda app and the vehicle’s infotainment system once the service is activated.
The new Predictive Maintenance service uses driving data and the Vehicle Health Report to anticipate potential issues. It monitors the status of the traction battery and 12V battery, brake pad wear, and the condition of the air conditioning system.
The latest version of the MyŠkoda app supports up to four guest users who can access most services. The main user retains control over guest accounts and receives real-time notifications of their actions. Management of the Plug & Charge service, Service Scheduling, and Digital Certificate services remains exclusive to the main user.
The Discover tab now provides Škoda-related news, while the Loyalty tab allows users to earn and redeem points for brand merchandise, and the Track & Explore tab enables users to monitor the production status of their new car and learn about its features. Charging processes at a domestic Škoda Charger wallbox can also be controlled and programmed via the MyŠkoda app. Specific services for electric vehicles include remote activation of the vehicle’s air conditioning and the integration of charging stops into route planning.
Laura is the perfect intermediary in the vehicle itself – a digital voice assistant that offers an extended range of functions courtesy of the integration of ChatGPT. The ChatGPT software, which is based on artificial intelligence (AI), enables Laura to answer general knowledge questions in addition to controlling vehicle infotainment, navigation and climate control systems. The range of answers, even to complex questions, is constantly increasing. As ChatGPT has no access to vehicle information or personal data and all interactions are subsequently deleted, maximum data protection is guaranteed at all times.
