That may seem like loads, but it\u2019s some way off the 2,180 litres available in Tesla\u2019s Model X.PriceBoth Jaguars and EVs are renowned for being expensive, so you\u2019d think that combining the two would result in a seriously pricey motor; again, not so.You\u2019ll be able to pick up an I-Pace up for \u00a363,495, but you can deduct \u00a35,000 thanks to the current government’s plug-in vehicle grant, slashing the price to a reasonable \u00a358,495.RangeThe achilles heel of EVs is often how far the car can go on a single charge and in the I-Pace, you\u2019ll be able to drive for 298 miles before you\u2019ll need a charging point.Connect it to 50 kW DC outlet and it\u2019ll recharge to up to 80 per cent of its total mileage range in 85 minutes, reducing to 40 minutes for 100kW charging points.It\u2019s the closest any car has come to giving Tesla sleepless nights, but what do you think of the I-Pace? Let us know down there in the comments.
