What is this that I see on Jaguar India's website? Does this mean the I-Pace is launching soon?

I wonder how much it costs for bringing it through CKD route for Jaguar? Otherwise it will be way overpriced and will struggle to cross double digit sales per month.

All companies should consider bringing EVs at least through CKD route which will make them eligible for just 15% import duty. With just 5% GST on EVs, the final price will be comparable to petrol/diesel models.

@sri_tesla, with Chinese factory online, I wonder how long before we can get Model 3 in India.

Jaguar Land Rover has announced that it has opened bookings of the Jaguar I-Pace electric SUV. The I-Pace, which will be Jaguar's first electric car to go on sale in India, will be offered in three variants - S, SE and HSE.



The I-Pace is fitted a 90 kWh Lithium-ion battery and two electric motors that deliver 395 BHP. Jaguar claims that vehicle accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.



The Lithium-ion battery of the I-Pace comes with a warranty of 8 years or 1,60,000 km. Besides, the vehicle will come with a complimentary 5-year service package, 5-year Jaguar Roadside Assistance as well as a 7.4 kW AC wall mounted charger.



Jaguar Land Rover has tied-up with Tata Power to provide office and home charging solutions to customers of I-Pace. Tata Power as part of its ‘EZ Charge’ EV Charging network, has installed 200+ charging points in more than 23 cities across the country.

The EQC has some competition coming its way, especially with the infrastructure that Tata will provide. Some can view this as an extremely premium Nexon EV.

Well, that is one really good looking vehicle. Any ideas about the pricing?

[ruchiragrawal]

EVs by JLR should certainly help the company as far as reliability is concerned. JLR engines are known to be problematic. With EVs, that issue pretty much goes away. Despite Indian terrains being harsh on the suspension, mechanically, electronic JLRs should be quite strong and sturdy cars. Also, with relatively less frequent maintenance visits for electric cars, I think these beautiful cars would certainly win when compared to other EV vehicles.

If one were to disregard charging feasibility, I would go so far as to say that luxurious electric vehicles would make a lot of sense for rural India since the maintenance visits to service centers would be fewer than that for a luxurious combustion-based vehicle. And I'm guessing that changing rotors, pads and even calipers is something any mechanic can do. Even passive suspension components like non-adaptive coilovers can be easily replaced if need be.

EVs could be really big for us, as long they are exciting to own. If only they could come with vroom boxes
