NEW DELHI: Drivers of Skoda’s all-electric
CitigoeiV
and SuperbiV
plug-in hybrid
can now use
Amazon Alexa voice assistants
to start or stop charging remotely and check on the remaining range of their cars through the help of Amazon’s voice assistant.
The new features are part of a raft of upgrades added to the
Skoda Connect service
. One of the highlights is that customers can check the charge level of their vehicles’ lithium-ion battery before a journey, and if needed, can give it an extra bit of charge.
All a customer has to say is “Hey Alexa!
Ask Skoda
, I want to start charging my car” and similar command to stop can be used to halt the charging.
The new
Skoda-Alexa
skill will be able communicate in four languages-English, French, German and Italian.
Amazon Alexa will also offer other relevant information about the car such as the oil levels, parked location of cars and much more.
The technology updates will continue to be rolled out across the rest of the
ŠKODA
iV range, including the Octavia iV and Octavia iV vRS plug-in hybrids, which are due to be released later this year.
