Mladá Boleslav, 2 September 2026 – It all began with an idea from two Škoda employees, Marek Jež and Jakub Krs: How far could the new electric seven-seater Škoda Peaq travel on a single charge of its 91 kWh battery?

The record attempt was conducted under the supervision of certification authority TÜV SÜD. A detailed account of the record-setting drive, extensive photo gallery and tips on economical driving – for both electric and combustion vehicles – are available on the Škoda Storyboard.
