Welcome to today’s “Cleantech Talk Today” discussion of fresh electric vehicle (EV) news. In this daily podcast and video series, we talk about anything electric that moves, crawls, flies, rides, drives, swims, swings, or skips. In this episode, #5 of Cleantech Talk Today, we cover CleanTechnica’s fresh review of the Jaguar i-PACE, Elon Musk’s recent comms regarding Tesla and other matters, and Denmark squeezing cargo space!
While driving the Jaguar I-PACE in Portugal last week, I was curious about the company’s plans for electrified automobiles in the future. Here is what I found out.
The Jaguar I-Pace offers extraordinary power and decent range at an affordable price. In the premium SUV segment, it is truly a compelling electric car.
Road trips are the final frontier for electric cars to totally outshine combustion-engine vehicles (gas/diesel cars). Already clearly a better technology than combustion vehicles in every other respect, of all the electric cars currently on the market, only Tesla so far provides truly compelling road trip ready offerings. This is an area that other carmakers need to pay much more attention to if they have a hope of ever competing with Tesla’s stratospheric demand and world-leading EV sales volume.
Waymo has announced it will purchase 62,000 self driving Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid vans to go along with the 20,000 autonomous electric I-Pace SUVs it is buying from Jaguar. What does it plan to do with all those self driving cars? We are about to find out.
Alejandro Agag will introduce the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY this Saturday, May 19, on the Berlin Tempelhof Circuit for the start of the 2018/19 season of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship. Get ready for another season of electric racing!
An all-new luxury chauffeur service by WeKnowGroup running to and from London’s Heathrow Airport is purchasing as many as 200 Jaguar I-PACE vehicles for the route, Jaguar has revealed.
As was reported a few days ago, it appears that the Tesla Model Y could begin limited production sometime in late 2019, with mass production following in 2020. Assuming that those dates are accurate, the Tesla Model Y compact SUV or CUV will be hitting the market right around the same time as numerous other all-electric SUV/CUV models.
What actually changed in the electric vehicle world in Q1 2018? Here’s our rundown:
Waymo and Jaguar have created a partnership that will see Waymo self-driving technology being added to as many as 20,000 Jaguar I-Pace electric SUVs by 2020.
