Audi e-Tron vs. Jaguar I-Pace

[soggybiscuit]

Seeing as 100kwh charging was introduced via a software update it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that charging rates will improve as they gather more real-world information on battery performance - hopefully we’ll start seeing higher sustained rates like the eTron before too long......

I think the charging rates are very much still a learning curve for the car companies because they are worried about the life of the batteries. I'm sure they will improve as they gather more information. I suspect you are correct and software updates will happen, they already have with the 40kwh Leaf.

The I-pace is dreadful

Seriously? I can’t imagine you’ve driven one - it is infinitely better that the GTE which has terrible range and is slow.

I drove an ipace the other day and it’s faster than my Macan Turbo and even the handling is sublime.

So take a comment out of context (I was referring to the charging rate) and compare it with a (decent) PHEV which costs less than half

Brilliant

You didn’t provide much context yourself really, more a sweeping statement on the car as a whole. Not disagreeing with the point you’ve now made clear BTW, but still a non-issue for most owners I’d say.

Genuine question: have you driven one?
