It depends on what the driver wants
Jaguar has been flying journalists to Portugal to drive the new I-Pace EV. Here are some of the first impressions on Jaguar’s first-ever electric car.
The Jaguar I-Pace draws its juices from a 90 kWh battery pack. It feeds two electric motors – one tasked with spinning the front wheels, the other taking care of the rear wheels – for an overall system output of 394 hp and 512 lb-ft (696 Nm) of torque.
According to Jaguar, the I-Pace can travel for about 480 km on a single charge – that’s roughly 298 miles – and it takes about 13 hours to fully recharge the Li-ion battery.
So, what’s it like to drive? Well, we won’t make a transcript of the Edmunds video below, but they do mention it’s still Jaguar-sporty despite of its generous weight – as you know, a chunky battery pack and two electric motors are the biggest culprits for that.
