2019 Jaguar I-Pace

Used I-PACE batteries get a second life in portable solar charging unit

A big question critics of EVs pose is how sustainable the disposal of the technology is once it has reached the end of its product cycle. As research and development is completed in the growing industry, more promising solutions are found and now Jaguar Land Rover-used I-PACE batteries have found a second life after partnering with Pramac.

The global merger into electrification will have millions of EVs in circulation by the end of the decade as automakers begin to transition into the more sustainably friendly technology. As a fundamental basis; most electrically powered vehicles require lithium batteries to provide power to the motors for the vehicle to operate and propel itself forward. As with everything, these components have a finite product cycle where their use will eventually inhibit operation and need to be replaced – similar to that of an ageing smartphone.

Jaguar Land Rover has partnered with Pramac to give their used I-PACE batteries a second life in Pramac’s Off Grid Battery Energy Storage System (ESS). This proof of concept has taken used I-PACE batteries from prototype and engineering test vehicles and supplies zero-emissions power where access to mains is limited or unavailable. This is another stride into a prospective net zero status by 2039 for the British automaker which will see the launch of programmes that deliver second life and beyond uses for batteries from its used EVs.

ELECTRIC TWIN TEST: HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 VS JAGUAR I-PACE

On the face of it they have little in common, but dig a little deeper and interesting things start to emerge...

Not an outing from which a winner can legitimately be declared then, but a sign that although the automotive old world order has proved it can turn its hand to electricity, the concepts of brand strength, technology, desirability and design are being globally reconfigured by more forward-looking firms. Maybe the coming resurrection will put Jaguar on a similar success trajectory to Hyundai. As of right now though, the I-Pace is the only car that looks forwards rather than back. That needs to change, and soon.

Florida based Jaguar I-Pace EV becomes a hot mess while charging

This Florida based Jaguar I-Pace is reportedly the fourth of its kind to catch alight with an exact cause yet to be determined.

With the incident taking place in mid-June, the latest EV to be embroiled in some controversy is this Florida based Jaguar I-Pace. The midsummer heat of the tropical American state isn’t believed to be the cause of the blame since this is reportedly the fourth such fire for the model to happen globally.

As can be seen in the images, the Florida based Jaguar I-Pace experienced its demise in a clear stretch of suburban road but that is because owner Gonzalo Salazar promptly moved it from its garage parking bay while it was charging after he noticed smoke billowing from its greenhouse. Having not done this, his entire house risked the same fate in a rapidly escalating fire that engulfed the entire EV in a short period of time.

Locally armoured Jaguar I-Pace becomes a world first

A local company has become the first to armour a Jaguar I-Pace in the world, while the model also serves as the first bulletproof electric model to prowl South Africa’s roads in stealth.

Armormax, renowned for building luxury armoured vehicles, recently handed over an armoured version of the all-electric Jaguar I-Pace to its owner. This is the first Jaguar I-Pace to be armoured globally, as well as the first all-electric luxury passenger vehicle to be armoured in South Africa. Since Armormax is an approved armoured for Jaguar Land Rover South Africa, the additions to the vehicle do not interfere with or void the standard warranty and maintenance plan and with only 200 kg added to the overall body weight which would now put it around 2,4 tons, there is no discernible decrease in performance either.

Managing Director of Armormax, Grant Anderson says “This project presented a great opportunity to challenge ourselves and expand our capabilities. We immediately involved the technical team at Jaguar Land Rover South Africa to assist and they were fantastic in helping us understand the intricacies of this electric vehicle. We are proud to say we built this car to our high standard despite the challenges and left the base vehicle very much unchanged”.

World’s first armoured Jaguar I-Pace

Customer is always right and what the customer wants is what they always get. Every market has its quirks - US cars have always been sold with automatic transmission and driving the stick is considered a black magic whereas in Europe automatics have been frowned upon as devil’s contraption. Chinese cars can come painted in strawberries and in South Africa they come armored.

It’s a different market but thanks to its unique requirements local company Armormax have become a global expert in producing armored vehicles for customers from all over the world. The company can count the rich and famous and royal families among its customers and its services are of such high quality that none of the vehicles converted lose manufacturer’s warranty.

Armormax built the world’s first armored EV - it was Tesla Model S Plaid and it was delivered to its US based owner not that long ago. It would be interesting to find out how the added weight affects the performance and range.

The Jaguar I-Pace the company just finished working on is the first armored EV in South Africa and just like all the other cars from the company, it comes with full manufacturers warranty despite wearing a B4 rated armored suit. B4 means being able to survive a direct fire from handguns of a maximum 0.44 caliber. The conversion involves armor plating, ballistic glass, run-flat tires and exterior speakers to communicate with the outside world without opening windows or doors.

2023 Jaguar I-Pace gains styling tweaks, new range-topping trim

Electric SUV's new 400 Sport specification gains adaptive air suspension and sports seats, starts at £79,995

The Jaguar I-Pace has been updated for 2023, gaining exterior design changes, technology upgrades and a new range-topping specification for the UK.

With prices starting at £69,995, the electric SUV is available to order now, with deliveries slated to begin in May.

The BMW iX3 rival is powered by the same 90kWh lithium ion battery as before, giving it a range of 292 miles. It also retains the same dual-motor set-up with 394bhp and 513lb ft so is capable of hitting 0-62mph in 4.5sec.

The design changes include a smoothened-off front grille, which is now coloured grey rather than gloss black. The car's vertical blades are also finished in grey, while the rear diffuser, lower doors and front bumpers are body-coloured.

The I-Pace range now consists of four specification levels. The £69,995 R-Dynamic S trim opens proceedings, followed by R Dynamic SE Black, R-Dynamic HSE Black and 400 Sport.

All models are equipped with Jaguar’s Pivi Pro infotainment system, featuring Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa connectivity and Spotify.

The Black specifications feature a black exterior design package as standard, adding bespoke finishes to the windows, grille, Jaguar badging and door-mirror caps.

New Jaguar I-Pace 400 Sport revealed for the UK

New 394bhp EV heads up the refreshed Jaguar I-Pace range

Jaguar has revealed a new version of its rather delectable electric car. And it is thus: behold, the Jaguar I-Pace 400 Sport, exclusively built for the United Kingdom.

It sits atop the other I-Pace derivatives, which run ‘R Dynamic S’, ‘R Dynamic SE Black’, and ‘R Dynamic HSE Black’, with this 400 Sport acting as the new halo Jag EV. Already, it’s easier to write down and say, which is a boon.

The other big boon is the 400 Sport’s trim which takes in a “discreet” rear spoiler, standard-fit adaptive air suspension, 22in gloss black alloys, and slimline performance seats decked out in Windsor leather with 14-way adjustability. They’re heated and cooled, too.

Speaking of heat, the 400 Sport packs the familiar I-Pace drivetrain: a 90kWh battery powering motors front and back, able to accelerate from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and up to a top speed of 124mph. The Sport also gets standard-fit ‘Adaptive Surface Response’.

Updated Jaguar I-Pace Confirmed for SA

Jaguar has announced some updates to its all-electric I-Pace and the good news is it’s confirmed to land in SA in the middle of 2023.

The Jaguar I-Pace was the British brand’s effort at offering an all-electric performance SUV and some would say that it did a good job of being first to market from the legacy brands. It’s won numerous awards across the globe, but in the era when technology moves exceptionally fast, it needs to be kept relevant.

Which is why Jaguar has just announced updates to it. The updated 2023 Jaguar I-Pace gets upgrades both visually and in terms of technology. You can spot the newer model with its new-look front grille, body-coloured lower door finishers and diffuser and there’s now the option of a contrast panoramic roof. Jaguar is also offering some satin paints and R-Dynamic trim.

There’s a 90 kWh lithium-ion battery that powers a motor on each axle and the I-Pace is good for a 0-100 kph in just 4.8 seconds. A range of 470 km is claimed based on the WLTP cycle. It can be charged using a 100 kW DC box that will give it a range of around 127 km in just 15 minutes. SA customers with 3-phase supply and the 11 kW home wall box will get around 53 km per hour, and a full charge takes 8.6 hours. Single-phase customers on a 7 kW home wall box get 35 km per hour and a full charge in 12.75 hours.

Jaguar I-Pace gets a design refresh, new trims and higher prices

The Jaguar I-Pace electric SUV boasts a host of impressive features that set it apart from the competition. It offers excellent all-wheel drive performance and overall refinement and software-over-the-air upgrades have only enhanced the vehicle's technology and capabilities.

However with the EV development progressing at breakneck speeds even the best can't afford to stand still or they will be swallowed by the pack and Jaguar realizes that. The company has now detailed several updates to refresh the I-Pace. The front grille has been smoothed out with an Atlas Grey finish, which gives the car a more streamlined look and emphasizes its electric nature.

The grille now sports a black and silver Jaguar emblem, and the front bumper finishers, lower door finishers, and rear diffuser are now body-colored, reducing visible bulk and simplifying the design. The 22-inch wheels have been updated with a Satin Grey finish to match the carbon fiber inlays and all standard wheels are diamond-cut.

In addition to these changes, the I-Pace now also features new R-Dynamic versions and metallic satin paints in Eiger Grey and Carpathian Grey. These new colors add more variety to the already award-winning design.
