Jaguar’s all-electric I-PACE will deliver both rapid charging and rapid performance when it goes on sale on 1 March, says the company.

Capable of charging in a claimed 45 minutes and “with sports car performance and SUV practicality, the I-PACE will be the perfect every day car – whether on the school run, daily commute or even coping with sub-zero temperatures”.

Customers will be able to use mains power to prepare the car’s battery and cabin temperature ahead of a journey. Pre-conditioning the car ensures maximum range, performance and comfort whether temperatures are freezing cold or extremely hot. Setting up preferred charging times and pre-conditioning schedules can be done from either the on-board InControl system, or the Remote smartphone APP.

The Jaguar I-PACE was recently voted by readers of What Car? magazine as the most anticipated new car of 2018.

The I-PACE will be revealed in a live global broadcast on 19:00 CET on 1 March 2018, and will go on to make its public premiere at the Geneva Motor Show on 6 March 2018.
