Skoda Academy Students Transform Enyaq iV EV Into a Mini Motorhome

A team of 29 innovative students from the Skoda Academy has taken on a new project that could change the way we view electric vehicles (EVs) forever. Their mission is to convert the Enyaq iV EV into a versatile mini motorhome that can double as a camping van and mobile office.

Although the vehicle is still in its development phase, the crew has shared their incredible renderings that offer a glimpse into what they are working on. The Enyaq iV’s exterior has been modified with a bulbous extension that covers the roof and hatchback, adding at least one foot to the vehicle’s height.

While the outside of the vehicle looks stock, the interior is where the magic happens. The team has created a raised bed on the driver’s side with an adjacent space that doubles as a table. At the back, there are three drawers for storage, with two more storage spots incorporated into the roof.

Of course, the modified Enyaq iV is not designed for long-term living. Rather, it is perfect for weekend adventures and spending time outdoors. The team member, Sandra SkokanovĆ”, stated that although they have an idea of what the car should look like, fine-tuning everything to the way they want it will be a significant challenge.

This isn’t the first attempt to convert the Enyaq iV into a camper. Skoda’s UK branch previously built a one-of-a-kind model with a pop-up tent on the roof that sleeps two people. Inside, the rear bench has an extendable bed that sleeps another pair of people, and a slide-out section at the back has a gas cooktop and sink for making meals while camping.

The Enyaq iV was introduced in 2020 and has various available power outputs, ranging from 146 horsepower to 302 hp, and three battery capacities: 55 kWh, 62 kWh, and 82 kWh. The longest available driving distance is 317 miles, depending on the powertrain. In 2022, Skoda launched the Enyaq Coupe, featuring a sleeker roof design.

The Skoda Academy’s project to convert the Enyaq iV into a mini motorhome is undoubtedly one to keep an eye on. It showcases the incredible innovation and creativity of the team members while demonstrating how EVs can be transformed to meet our diverse needs beyond transportation.
