The All-Electric Jaguar I-PACE SUV: The Complete Guide For The UK

---

Overview

---

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Automotive PLC is a leading luxury vehicle manufacturer with a distinctive reputation of being British and iconic. However the automotive company is now owned by the leading Indian industrial conglomerate, the Tata Group. The blue chip, India headquartered company is a leading player in the automotive sector via its Tata Motors subsidiary based in Mumbai. Tata acquired Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford Motor Company in 2008. JLR continues to conduct its operations from Coventry in the United Kingdom.

Jaguar Cars was founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company in 1922, and has since been responsible for the development of a number of vehicles that have achieved a global iconic status, to include the famed Jaguar full-sized luxury saloon cars.

The All-Electric Jaguar I-PACE SUV

---

The Jaguar I-PACE battery-electric vehicle (BEV) was unveiled at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. It is the first all-electric performance SUV from Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). Deliveries commenced in the second half of 2018. The model has won a number of awards, to include: the European Car of the Year, World Car of the Year, the Best Design and Best Green Car awards. 

Though the Jaguar I-PACE was one of the first pure electric SUVs from a mainstream automotive manufacturer to challenge the dominance of Tesla electric cars, since 2018, many other car manufacturers have entered the zero-emission electric vehicle (EV) sector. Competition in the pure electric SUV segment is now fierce, with a number of EVs on offer at different price ranges. Jaguar competes in the premium e-SUV range, along with Audi and Mercedes.

The Jaguar electric SUV is available in one EV battery size (90 kWh) with a claimed emission-free range up to 286 miles. The newest eco-friendly BEVs on the market will average between 200 to 300 miles on a fully-charged EV battery! Of course, the real-world electric range will be lower, impacted by several factors. Some include: weather conditions, road surface, tyre size, speed, load, onboard services used etc. Expect the I-PACE to deliver an electric range closer to 250 miles.

This is certainly a useful range for city and motorway driving. It is a widely known fact, in that, the average distance of a trip in the UK is a mere 12 miles. An average vehicle in the UK will travel between 8k and 10k miles per annum i.e. less than 30 miles per day.

The Jaguar EV offers DC charging up to 100 kW DC. This is not bad, but it is not class-leading. Some of the newer pure electric cars offer even faster DC charging capability. Having said that, 100 kW DC is still very fast and can charge the I-PACE 10% – 80% in 47 minutes. Put another way, at 100 kW DC, the EV can achieve 78 miles in 15 minutes. At 50 kW DC, the EV can achieve 63 miles in 15 minutes.

Though the I-PACE incorporates a 3-phase 11 kW onboard AC charger, given that most homes in the UK are powered by single-phase, leveraging up to 11 kW will only be possible for those homes fortunate to have 3-phase power supply.

Using a single-phase (7.4) kW dedicated EV charger, the I-PACE electric SUV can be fully charged in 12.75 hours (22 miles of range from 60 minutes). For 11 kW AC charging, the EV can be fully charged in 9 hours (33miles of range from 60 minutes). Though the EV can be charged using a domestic 3-PIN socket, we at e-zoomed discourage the use of a domestic socket to charge an electric vehicle (EV). It will take up to 48 hours to charge the e-SUV via a domestic socket!

Depending on the cost of electricity, the cost per mile for driving on electric can be as low as 3 pence per mile. But at an average it is between 5 pence and 10 pence per mile, which is substantially cheaper than driving a conventional combustion engine SUV! We recommend charging overnight, at home, when the electricity prices are lower.

The Jaguar BEV is practical and versatile without compromising on quality and comfort. The rear seats are comfortable for adults, with ample legroom and headroom and appropriate for most family requirements. The available boot space is 505 L. The EV offers a number of safety features, to include: driver condition monitor, traffic sign recognition and adaptive speed limiter, lane keep assist, rear camera and more. The e-SUV has a 10″ Pivi Pro infotainment system and interactive driver display.

The all-wheel drive Jaguar I-PACE can achieve 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds. The EV delivers a maximum power up to 400 PS and 696 Nm instant torque. The top speed is 124 mph. Do keep in mind that the EV has an increased weight due to the onboard battery. The SUV also benefits from regenerative braking.

Company-car drivers can take advantage of the lower Benefit-In-Kind (BiK-2%) tax charge for pure electric cars. The all-electric Jaguar I-PACE is available to lease via e-zoomed at fantastic prices. Simply follow this link to enquire!
