Jaguar Electric Cars UK: I-PACE & New Electric Range Guide 2025
Source: Jaguar Media Centre
Jaguar is transitioning to become a fully electric luxury brand, moving from its pioneering I-PACE SUV to a new generation built on the purpose-designed Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA). The British brand is developing entirely new models rather than simply electrifying existing ones.
The upcoming Type 00 four-door GT showcases Jaguar's electric direction, combining distinctive design with cutting-edge technology and targeting an ambitious 478-mile range. For UK drivers, particularly those with access to salary sacrifice schemes, Jaguar's electric lineup offers a blend of heritage, performance, and British craftsmanship.
Jaguar Electric Cars Overview & Transformation Strategy
Jaguar's shift to electrification represents a foundational transformation rather than an incremental shift. Under the Reimagine strategy announced in 2021, Jaguar Land Rover has committed to making Jaguar a fully electric brand, positioning it at the pinnacle of luxury EV performance.
The I-PACE, launched in 2018, served as Jaguar's electric pioneer, demonstrating that the brand could deliver electric performance with distinctive British character. However, Jaguar's ambitions extend far beyond adapting existing models; the brand is building an entirely new electric identity from the ground up.
The Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA) forms the foundation of this transformation. This purpose-built EV platform optimises efficiency, packaging, range, and driving dynamics in ways that converted combustion platforms simply can’t match. The clean-sheet approach gives Jaguar's designers and engineers freedom to reimagine what a luxury performance car should be in the electric age.
Jaguar is investing substantially in UK manufacturing facilities, including upgrades to Halewood, to support this electric transition. This commitment reinforces the brand's British identity whilst creating a domestic supply chain for next-generation EVs.
The transformation extends beyond engineering to include a complete brand reinvention. Jaguar introduced a new logo, fresh visual identity, and bold design language alongside the Type 00 reveal, signalling that this isn't simply about swapping powertrains - it's about redefining British luxury in motion.
Jaguar's All-Electric Future Vision
Jaguar is pursuing emotional design, sculptural surfaces, and driver-focused experiences that honour their sporting heritage.
The Type 00 concept, revealed in late 2024, signals this dramatic departure. Rather than conventional SUV or saloon forms, the Type 00 offers sculpture-like surfaces, a sloping fastback roofline, and a presence that demands attention.
Key strategic pillars shaping Jaguar's electric future include:
Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA): A bespoke EV platform optimised for efficiency, packaging, range, and driving dynamics, maximising interior space and weight distribution.
Range ambition: The Type 00 targets up to 770 km (approximately 478 miles) WLTP range, positioning it amongst the longest-range luxury EVs available and eliminating range anxiety for genuine grand touring capability.
Flagship performance positioning: New models sit at the premium end of the luxury EV market, with power outputs expected to exceed 600 kW in performance variants, delivering supercar-level acceleration with everyday usability.
Design reinvention: The Type 00's dramatic styling represents Jaguar's commitment to "fearless creativity," embracing bold proportions, minimal ornamentation, and surfaces that interact dynamically with light.
Recent reports suggest Jaguar's first new production EV may arrive in 2026, reflecting the rigorous development required for such an ambitious reset. The roadmap remains clear: the I-PACE acts as a bridge whilst we eagerly await the Type 00.
Jaguar EVs (I-PACE)
Overview & Status
For a long time, the Jaguar I-PACE was the brand's only production electric vehicle. Positioned as a luxury, sporty electric SUV - it was even featured in our Top 10 Best EVs to Salary Sacrifice list earlier this year!
At the end of last year, Jaguar announced that new vehicle sales in the UK are paused until next-generation models arrive, making the I-PACE a transitional flagship. Used and pre-registered examples remain available, though the I-PACE programme is winding down as resources focus on new electric platforms.
Technical Specifications & Performance
Make it stand out
Here's what the I-PACE EV400 delivers:
Battery: 90 kWh lithium-ion pack
Range: WLTP 291–298 miles, with real-world figures varying based on conditions
Power: Dual-motor all-wheel drive delivering 400hp (294 kW)
Acceleration: 0–62 mph in approximately 4.8 seconds
Top speed: 124 mph (electronically limited)
Source: Jaguar Media Centre
Charging:
AC: Up to 11 kW on three-phase supply
DC fast: Up to 100 kW, typically achieving 10–80% in around 44 minutes
Real-world range is influenced by temperature, driving style, and terrain. Winter conditions can reduce your range by 20-30%, though pre-conditioning the cabin whilst connected to mains power helps mitigate this impact.
Strengths & Considerations
| Strengths | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Driving dynamics: The I-PACE remains one of the sportiest electric SUVs available, with nimble handling, a low centre of gravity, and dual-motor AWD delivering genuine driver engagement. | Aging architecture: Designed between 2015-2017, the I-PACE's battery and charging capabilities lag behind newer platforms. The 100 kW DC charging limit feels modest when rivals push 200 kW or beyond. |
| Luxury interior: Materials quality, cabin layout, and technology integration remain competitive, particularly following the Pivi Pro infotainment upgrade. | Range versus newer competitors: Real-world motorway range of 220-240 miles requires planning on longer journeys. |
| Brand prestige: As a Jaguar, the I-PACE carries heritage and cachet that purely rational EV brands cannot replicate. | Market availability: With Jaguar pausing new vehicle sales until next-generation models arrive, used, pre-registered, and remaining dealer stock represent the only purchase routes. |
The I-PACE is a great option for buyers looking for a second-hand luxury EV with Jaguar's distinctive personality.
Next-Generation Jaguar EVs (Type 00, GT Flagship)
Type 00: Jaguar's "Car Zero"
The Type 00 concept represents Jaguar's visual and technical manifesto for its electric future. It's the first model built entirely on Jaguar Electric Architecture - essentially "car zero" for the new Jaguar lineage.
Design highlights:
Sculptural surfaces with flush glazing, an elongated bonnet, and a dramatic fastback silhouette
23-inch alloy wheels, minimal panel seams, and flush door handles
Bold two-tone colour treatments (Miami Pink and London Blue options)
Panoramic glass roof creates an airy, light-filled cabin
Distinctive lighting signatures serving as brand identifiers
From a technical standpoint, early reports suggest an ambitious range target of up to 770 km WLTP (approximately 478 miles), which would position it amongst the longest-range luxury EVs available. UK assembly reinforces Jaguar's British identity and manufacturing commitment.
The production version of Type 00 is expected in 2026. This represents a clean break from Jaguar's past and is a bold statement of intent rather than cautious evolution.
Future GT & Derivative Models
Beyond Type 00 itself, Jaguar's strategy will likely include a family of high-performance electric GTs, possibly including sport, performance, and extended-range variants.
Expected features:
Very high power outputs: Possibly 600 kW+ (over 800hp) in top performance trims
Advanced battery systems: Fast charging capabilities likely exceeding 200 kW
Top-tier luxury finishes: Bespoke materials and technological sophistication befitting Jaguar's premium positioning
Redefined driving experience: Marrying performance, comfort, and exclusivity in ways that honour Jaguar's sporting heritage
The Type 00 will anchor Jaguar's electric brand relaunch, with future models adopting its design DNA and engineering underpinnings.
Jaguar Electric Performance & Design Philosophy

Performance DNA
Even as an exclusively electric brand, Jaguar remains committed to its heritage as a maker of "the world's most desirable sports cars." This philosophy carries into the electric era through several key elements:
Multi-motor AWD systems: Delivering torque vectoring, optimal traction, and genuine driver engagement
Chassis tuning emphasis: Balancing comfort and agility through adaptive damping and sophisticated torque distribution
Lightweight materials: Jaguar uses composites like carbon and glass fibre to offset battery mass and maintain sporting dynamics
High power and torque: Delivering sports car-level acceleration and responsiveness whilst maintaining refinement
Jaguar's electric cars don't simply match rivals in range or technology - they compete on thrill, nuance, and driver connection. The brand refuses to accept that electrification means compromising engagement.
Design Language Reinvention
Jaguar's design evolution embraces "fearless creativity" as its guiding principle. The Type 00 concept has a new identity: sculpted surfaces, minimal ornamentation, bold colour contrasts, and fluid proportions.
Key Design Principles:
Flush exteriors: Hidden door handles and minimal panel seams enhance both aesthetics and aerodynamic efficiency
Panoramic glazing: Expansive windows creating airy, light-filled cabins
Reduced complexity: Surfaces that play with light and shadow
Signature lighting: Distinctive three-dimensional signatures front and back
Interior as a cabin of calm: Clean interfaces, ambient lighting, and sustainable materials
This design philosophy resets expectations rather than following trends.
British Luxury Electric Innovation
Jaguar's electric future anchors itself firmly in British identity: a heritage of craftsmanship, engineering innovation, and design audacity.
UK manufacturing commitment: New Jaguar EVs are earmarked for UK production, reinforcing homegrown prestige and supporting domestic manufacturing capability.
Engineered in Britain: With JEA and electric systems developed in-house, Jaguar owns its electric technology stack.
Sustainable luxury: Beyond zero-emissions driving, materials and supply chains emphasise lower carbon impact, circularity, and responsible sourcing.
Design leadership: By embracing bold, unconventional forms, Jaguar reasserts itself as a creative force in global automotive design.
Brand storytelling rooted in legacy: The rebrand and Type 00 evoke Jaguar's past whilst looking decisively forward to an electric future.
Jaguar Electric Car Salary Sacrifice Benefits
Salary sacrifice schemes offer one of the most attractive routes to electric car ownership in the UK, delivering significant tax savings and simplified budgeting - particularly valuable for premium vehicles like Jaguar.

Why Salary Sacrifice Works for Electric Cars
Low Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) rates: For 2025/26, pure electric vehicles have a 3% BIK tax, rising to 4% in 2026/27 and 5% in 2027/28. This compares to 37-39% rates for petrol and diesel vehicles, making electric cars particularly tax-efficient for company car users.
Tax and National Insurance savings: By paying for the car through pre-tax salary sacrifice, you reduce your taxable income. As a taxpayer, you can save hundreds every month compared to traditional financing, whilst employers benefit through reduced National Insurance contributions.
Bundled running costs: Salary sacrifice schemes typically include servicing, insurance, maintenance, breakdown cover, and road tax in one monthly payment, eliminating unexpected costs and simplifying budgeting.
Jaguar Availability Through The Electric Car Scheme
Current status: The Jaguar I-PACE is no longer available to lease through The Electric Car Scheme as production winds down ahead of next-generation models.
Future availability: Once the Type 00 launches in 2026, it will be available through salary sacrifice schemes, allowing you to benefit from low BIK rates and tax savings on Jaguar's new electric flagship.
