Walked into the local Jag dealer on 11 Sep and a 2022 I-Pace had just come off the truck. Bought it immediately and absolutely love it. Only remaining challenge is I cannot (nor can the dealer yet) figure out how to adjust the max charge limit. Will need to get it to 100% occasionally for road trips...followed the instructions in the drivers manual, but the manual doesn't agree with the screen in the 2022 model.

Anybody know how to adjust the charge limit on the 2022 model?

Can you explain why you want to limit the max charge ? Apart from the fact that Tesla drivers HAVE to do it because the there is pretty much no buffer in the top end of the battery , so Elon ask them to manually care about this buffer. Do you see any official documentation from Jaguar asking to do so ?
Personally I top the battery every time I charge, the car is 3 years old now, and the SOH is still 96%. We top our Nissan Leaf 24Kwh every time we charge since 7 years now, and we still have 90% of SOH. Jaguar engineers manage to put a buffer at the low and high end to preserve the battery, I will not pretend I am smarter then them.

As Dernotte wrote, there is no need to limit charging, contrary to for instance Tesla. Some other brands (VW comes to mind) also advise to limit to 80% in everyday use.

Jaguar kept luxurious buffers to protect the battery, so we need not worry about that.

This said, I usually limit charging to 90% because I prefer to have regen capacity from the start.

For doing so, you install Wattcat on your Android or MyPace on your iOS. There you can select to limit charge to a certain SoC.

I use the 120VAC charger and keep my charged mileage between 100 to 200miles. I plug the car in on some evenings and the next day before lunch I've gained about 40 miles. No maximum monitoring required! About once a month or more, I fully charge the Jag with 240VAC(my wife's) charger to make sure it gets it's balance and gets the mileage straight. Over the years, it does appear the industry is stating you will loose life out of your battery, if you fully charge it all the time. How much is the question. I fully charged my Ford Focus Electric every night over 4 years and could see no degradation in my 76 mile range! In addition Jaguar wants to sell you a new car in 10 years.
