Jaguar Electric Cars

Why Jaguar EVs are some of the best on the market

When Jaguar decided an SUV was going to be its first fully electric car, it made a bold statement to the automotive industry: it’s not here to mess around. As a result, Jaguar instantly cemented itself as a serious player in the electric car market. Below, we’ll discuss why you should consider a Jaguar electric car.

How long has Jaguar been producing EVs?

Jaguar is actually a newcomer to the electric car industry, having introduced the I-PACE as recently as 2018. However, the I-PACE received plenty of positive reviews and consumers quickly realised Jaguar means business.

In fact, Jaguar Land Rover has announced that its entire Jaguar brand will be all-electric by 2025 – five years before the government’s 2030 deadline. To do this, it also stated that each of its British plants would remain open as part of this strategy.

Why driving an EV is great

There are plenty of reasons why driving an electric car is great, and benefits not only you as the driver, but also the environment.

While Jaguar produces great petrol and diesel cars, the benefits of an EV mean they’re the perfect choice for drivers looking to make the switch to electric:

• There are far fewer moving parts in an EV, which means maintaining them is cheaper and there’s less that can potentially go wrong
• Charging an EV is quick and simple – by using a rapid charge point, you can charge your EV’s battery to 80% in as little as 20 minutes
• EVs are far kinder to the environment, and by using green energy to charge the battery they can be completely carbon neutral after manufacture
• Compared to petrol and diesel, the cost of charging an EV is considerably cheaper than a tank of fuel

Why are Jaguar EVs so highly regarded?

Even before it made its leap into the world of electric, Jaguar had a reputation for producing high-quality, luxurious cars that were powerful and fun to drive. Thankfully, with the I-, these qualities have continued into its EVs, with the added benefits of saving the driver and helping to protect the environment.

The I-PACE has the performance and room of an SUV, with sleek handling and enough torque to give it a real kick. On top of that, with 235 miles of real-world range, Jaguar has given drivers peace of mind so they won’t be constantly watching the battery.

How do electric Jaguars compare to other EVs?

Being its first foray into electric, Jaguar might be forgiven if it produced an EV that didn’t match the standard of its competitors. However, this isn’t the case at all.

It ticks so many boxes, you’d think Jaguar had been manufacturing electric cars for as long as the likes of Tesla and BMW. But the I-PACE can easily stand alongside the Model 3 or the i3 in many ways, including performance and reliability.

Plus, it has a range of up to 292 miles – that’s over 100 miles more than the industry average of 184 miles. It also comes with the added prestige of carrying the Jaguar badge, which is synonymous with luxury and class.

What makes the Jaguar I-PACE the right car for you?

The I-PACE is comfortable and versatile, and as well as the power and acceleration, it also has a number of safety features that make it an ideal family car.

With automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot warning and sign recognition, safety is a priority – it even has a five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP. And with drive assist, as well as a number of other features and tech, your driving experience will be an absolute pleasure.

GQ Magazine even said the I-PACE is ‘one of the best electric cars in the game’. So, if you’re looking to make that switch to electric, the I-PACE should tick most, if not all, of your boxes.
