Skoda CITIGOe iV was recently withdrawn from the British market because of a high "demand problem," which occasionally affects electric cars.
The company sold all 400 units, allocated for the right-hand drive British market, within just two months and was forced to temporarily end sales. The first CITIGOe iV appeared at the dealerships in late January, and by mid-March all were gone.
The sales will be restarted once the company first restarts the production plant in Bratislava, Slovakia.
More Skoda news:
Other models from the Czech brand were not withdrawn, which clearly indicates production constraints for an attractively priced car.
Interestingly, the two other vehicles from this set of triplets – Volkswagen e-up! and SEAT Mii electric – still remain available for order in the UK (all are produced in the same plant).
However, since Volkswagen reported 20,000 orders for the e-up! within three months, we would not be surprised if sales of all triplets will quickly become constrained by manufacturing output.
