This past weekend, Jaguar has finally lifted the wraps off of their first ever all-electric vehicle. Known as the 2019 Jaguar I-Pace, the British manufacturer is going straight after Telsa and their Model X electric SUV.<\/p>\n

Beneath its tough exterior is a 90kWh lithium-ion battery of which Jaguar claims the model can traverse 475 kilometres on a single charge. Owners can charge the battery up to 80% in just over an hour and 25 minutes using a 50 kW DC charger.<\/p>\n
Swap that for a 100 kW rapid charge and that time decreases to 40 minutes!<\/p>\n
Not only can it be charged in no time, but it’s also fast in a straight line. With 395 horsepower and 696 Nm of torque, This allows the 2019 Jaguar I-Pace to race from 0-100 km\/h in an\u00a0impressive 4.6 seconds.<\/p>\n
