Electric Dreams: Jaguar makes living with an I-PACE easy

Jaguar has made owning an electric vehicle even easier thanks to a trio of features focusing on use and cost.

The new online calculator, simple-tariff public charging service and the Go I-PACE app is helping owners and potential buyers get maximum benefit from their EV.

Rob McKay, Jaguar Land Rover’s Head of e-Mobility, said: “By using these digital tools, existing and potential customers are able to see with great accuracy how an EV could fit into life and gain a real insight into how the range of the vehicle is affected by different features. 

“Add to this the simple-tariff charge across Europe, and it has never been simpler to own and run the Jaguar I-PACE.”

The new online calculator will showcase the effects wheel size, temperature and other features have on the I-PACE’s maximum range. 

The new simple-tariff public charging service gives owners access to more than 110,000 public locations across Europe, with customers able to choose to pay as they go or with a fixed subscription.

The I-PACE Go app, available on iPhone and Android, has given would-be buyers some idea how an EV could fit into their lives by measuring how they use their car daily. 

The app measures how much battery would be used per trip and the number of full charges they would need to cover the same distance based on individual journey data. It will then show the potential cost savings from switching to an EV.

Joanna Hewitt, Jaguar Land Rover’s Digital Innovations Senior Analyst, said: “The Go I-PACE app was designed to demonstrate how EV ownership can benefit drivers, particularly in understanding journey impact on range and how often they would need to plug in.

“Looking at the data we have had so far, it is clear to see that not only is I-PACE ownership cost-effective, it is extremely convenient too.”

The I-PACE Go app has revealed that 85 percent of owners across Europe could cover their weekly mileage with a maximum of just two full charges, with 54 percent only needing to charge once every seven days.
