...with a 90kWh .lithium-ion battery pack, Jaguar claims the I-Pace has a range of up to 500km.
Each axle is driven by a 147kW/350Nm electric motor, giving a total system output of 294kW and 700Nm along with a single-speed transmission sending drive to all-four wheels.

Jaguar claims the I-Pace can sprint from 0-60mph (0-96km/h) in ‘around 4.0 seconds’, a second quicker than the equivalent Tesla Model X 90D which also features a 90kWh battery pack..
........this isnt just a concept, its a preview of a five-seat production car that will be on the road in 2018. This will be Jaguar’s first-ever battery-powered electric vehicle and opens a new chapter in the history of our legendary brand,” he added.

Awesome to see Ford making a serious step toward EVs.
 
Gas is weak at low RPMs, and only "takes off" once the RPMs are up (Like a turbo civic, Luke?), and electric has massive torque available from one RPM up to 80%. Electric power tapers off as it nears it's highest RPM (top speed,in a one-speed system) but....that is not a bad thing.

Performance wise, you just can't beat AWD electric.

edit: why the hell are you up in the middle of the night? I have to be here for my job...

Jaguar Cars - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Jaguar_...
Jaguar (/ˈdʒæɡjuː.ər/ JAG-ew-ər) is the luxury vehicle brand of Jaguar Land Rover, a British multinational car manufacturer with its headquarters in Whitley, Coventry, England, owned by the Indian company Tata Motors since 2008.
 
I think, understandably, Jag enjoy greater autonomy and design freedom under TATA than they did under Ford.

The I-pace looks interesting but the spec and battery/drivetrain are strikingly similar to Tesla's. I don't think it's copying, just validates Tesla's design as being well-suited to the task.
 
..added images.
also, as more info slowly leaks out, ..
apparently Jaguar have a technical tie up with Panasonic... but..
the pack in the i-pace appears to have a pouch cell format as opposed to those of Tesla etc ?
and drive train technology is a derived from Jaguars Formula E race car developments with concentric motors and drive train

apparently the Jag EV will be hitting the public roads later this year as production ramps up.
Tesla ..take note of how to style a EV please

Great to see some development in the pouch cell side of things - you could be forgiven for thinking the 18650 / 21700 cell is the only approach around.
Love the concentric motor-differential too. Chevy first used this in the Spark - very compact.
 
I read a lot, and I know this is unscientific, but...my informal polling indicates that every car manufacturer who adds an EV model to their line-up experiences a sudden boost in their reliability.

E-systems are fairly well-known, mature, and hard to screw up...any manufacturer who has developed a reputation for being unreliable will experience a definite boost in marque prestige as more of their EV models hit the road.

Let's see...Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Jaguar, Peugeot, Maserati, BMW, Volvo...

And BMW!

The Jag looks nice.
