Finally a long-range high power EV that does not look like a Jaguar.

Yes, Tesla has changed the EV world forever. But styling-wise they look a bit like a Jaguar, if you squint an eye.

Now, finally, there is a 90 kWh ~240 mile real range EV that does not look like a Jaguar.


Because it IS a Jaguar! Behold the Jaguar i-Pace...
Quote:
The production model basically matches the specs Jaguar originally set out to achieve with the I-Pace concept. A 90 kWh battery will give it an estimated 240 miles of range, which is more than enough for day-to-day driving. If and when you wind up running low on charge, Jaguar says the batteries can go from zero to 80 percent in just 40 minutes at 100kW DC fast charging stations. (A similar charge on a Level 2 home charger will take about 10 hours, according to Jaguar.)

With regards to performance, the dual motors — one on each axel — combine to give the I-Pace 394 horsepower, which gets it from 0–60 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds, Jaguar says.
