Below is my Wattcatt data for the past few days.

Nov 11th:
81% charge - 55.55 kW
100% charge would be 69.44 kW
Nov 11th
75% charge - 51.45 kW
100% charge would be 68.01 kW
Nov 12th
68% charge - 46.25 kW
100% charge would be 68.6 kW
Nov 14th
93% charge - 63.85 kW
100% charge would be 68.65 kW
Nov 14th
96% charge - 66.1 kW
100% charge would be 68.85 kW

So I have contacted my dealer to get my battery checked.
I live in Princeton, NJ and have had this car for exactly a year.

I have some serious concerns about the health of my battery.

The vehicle suffered from coolant leakage for the first 5 or 6 months. I didn't use the AC because it was cold. When I realized the AC wasn't working, I gave my vehicle for repair and Jaguar took 3 weeks for repair.

I am concerned that the battery pack may have some suffered damage during this time because of impaired thermal management.

If the data that Wattcat is showing is anywhere close to being correct, the degree of degradation my battery pack has suffered, is unacceptable.

 

It certainly appears that you have a battery problem. Definitely need to return to the dealer to have it addressed.

 

Model Year: 2020
Mileage: 1703
12V Battery Issue: N
Main Battery Issue: There could be a battery issue/
Can’t get more than 201 miles charge. Tried to reset the GOM that added 10-15 miles and one time took it up to 272 that reverted to 208 the next morning after short ride and closing down night before. Given latest software update 2 weeks ago without change. Had 2 separate “Coolant low” warnings on start up 5 days ago that has not recurred. Took car into service yesterday.

 

Quite honestly, because they have somehow screwed up the distance to empty predictor with the software updates, at this point we would all be better off if they simply disabled it. You charge your car to a certain state of charge (SOC) by putting Kw in the battery, like putting gallons of gas in a gas tank. If you have a 14 gallon tank, you can add no more than 14 gallons, but even then the usable capacity is often less (or the tank is bigger that reported). The I-PAce has a battery that can 'hold' 90kWh, but you can only use ~84kWh of that. You do not charge a car to a number of miles regardless of what that silly little gauge tells you. You charge it to a % of battery capacity. This is no different than when you filled up your gas car, you didn't say I filled it x miles, you said I put x gallons of gas in.

You can determine if you have a possible battery issue by keeping track of how much energy was used in your miles driven compared to how much energy you put back in the car. At this time it appears the distance to empty predictor is not reliable enough to serve any real purpose other than to freak people out because for some reason we have convinced BEV drivers that they charge to a set number of miles versus actual battery capacity.

WattCat shows an average battery health of 95% (fluctuates between 86-96% depending upon SoC, used to always hover around 99% a month ago) and the battery capacity has dropped to 79-80 kWh at 100% SoC from 82-84 kWh a month ago. Not sure if that is an "issue" or just normal battery aging that's to be expected as this is my first EV.

 

Model Year: 2019

12V Battery Issue: N
Main Battery Issue: Yes, at 2441 miles. Car became a brick in our garage. Had to be towed using two trucks to get it on the flatbed.
Long story short, one cell replaced. Car now seems to be working properly other than weird results with guess o meter. Doesn't charge to 100%.

 

What do you mean when you say it doesn't charge to 100%? Does the car actually stop charging at 91%, with the message 'charge complete'? If so, please take a look at this post from #timbo - https://www.i-paceforum.com/forum/47529-post13.html you may be having the same issue.

thank you jpklmartin and spicyj, you're representing the many people who mostly lurk on the board. keep posting! and lurkers, please chime in! in the context of this thread it's particularly important that not only the people with issues contribute, so that we get a better cross-section of all who own i-paces

I would be nice to know the build date or ViNs.

 

Mine is 03/19 and most of us with main battery issues have noted our build dates. There doesn't seem to be a correlation, it's a broad range of dates with some pretty recent cars and some from last year.

I'd wager it's more of a quality control issue. I don't think JLR is sufficiently checking the batteries they get in and I know that the dealers are neither sufficiently checking nor safely storing the cars. I do wonder how much of this issue could be contributed to dealers storing cars with drained batteries for extended periods without charging or even running.

I seem to have the same issue others have stated and have posted about it, 201 range after a full 100% charge, consistent 201 range after any driving and environmental pattern/history. Reset the GOM it went to 234 the EPA stated range then has slowly decreased and is down to 204 today after a full charge today. I suspect it will level off back again at 201. Unlikely this is a battery issue and more than likely some kind of programming characteristic for some untold JLR reason as many others have this same 201 range issue. One would like to have an accurate range and SOC/DOC and more detailed charging history. As others, hope JLR is listening and chooses to prioritize giving us this.

 

As others, hope JLR is listening and chooses to prioritize giving us this.

I truly believe JLR has serious battery issues with the iPace and the wonky range meter is the best disguise they have going for them. Now I won't speculate as to whether that's intentional or a coincidence but I'd wager all of us with bad batteries first got the "oh no, your battery is fine, it's just the silly range meter giving you trouble! No big deal!" It's not until you push and show hard evidence that they take it seriously.

It makes me wonder how many people have bad batteries but due to interactions with dealerships & JLR just think the range is normal for an iPace. If I was just using the iPace for city driving that's exactly what I'd think.

 

No issues

Mileage: 6500
12V Battery Issue: N
Main Battery Issue: N

Range has always shown 201 miles at full charge. Then gives me warnings as I get down to about 20 mi. in the "tank". Dealer said the issue didn't really matter; I think I could easily get 240 out of the battery if I drove the speed limit and carefully. By I usually get 70% of the stated mileage because I'm a crazy driver.

 

Model Year: 2019
Dealer said the issue didn't really matter

Dealers are always like this when its a warrantee claim; "all iPaces do it", bla bla bla. Personal history has proven their tune changes when not a warrantee claim and they're making money off of you...can't image why that is. 0:laugh::|:grin2:

 

I doubt they've done it on purpose, that's true, but that doesn't excuse the useless GOM, nor does the fact that other companies use horrible software for their range meters. If they just used your last 50 to 100 miles kwh/100 miles (already available on the trip computers) versus current KWH capacity, the range meter would be much more accurate and linear. It'd also be simpler software that's less likely to glitch. Why these manufacturers overcomplicate the software, I don't know.

Regardless of the range meter debate, I really wonder how many people have a battery capacity issue and don't realize it. There's no warning sign to identify the issue other than WattCat or taking a long trip, so people that bought the car for city use would be unlikely to realize the problem without delving deeper. It shows 100% charge and no faults. If you think you have poor range and bring it to a dealer without having researched it yourself, I guarantee you they'll tell you it's fine and send you on your way.

I have said from the beginning that it would be much more useful to show actual available energy versus a percentage. Without knowing percentage of what, it is not that helpful

 

I've had an EV in some form for almost 10 years and hybrids before that. There are so many variables in calculating range and not one has got it exactly right. My Model S always says the same thing after an 80% charge. Usually 172-177. Summer, winter; it doesn't matter. But the rate at which the miles tick-off is a lot higher in the winter. Yesterday we drove up to a Jag dealer and by the time we got home, would have gotten 140 miles out of the charge if we had driven perfectly. With heaters on and 70mph on the freeway, I'm guessing range would have been closer to 120 miles out of the listed 172 we started with. Our 2011 Volt was actually a little smarter and would show available miles in the 20s during the colder months and 40+ in summer.

 

I am curious what was your outside temp? I don’t think I have ever gotten less than 160 when temp was around 30 outside even when driving freeway.

 

Only mid 40s or so. Wife was cold though and she had her seat fully heated and jacked the temp up. Freeway speed was 68-70. Not the most efficient driving. My car is also a 7yr old 60kwh.

Updating this for some cool weather data ...

I earlier reported 220 real world highway miles from some warm weather runs. Last night in low 40/upper 30 degree temps I had a highway run of 171 miles. The car reported using about 68.317 kWh at an average speed of 59 MPH through what passes for hilly terrain in Florida (Orlando to Crystal River and back). I was very conservative with the cabin heat whereas I had the A/C blasting on warm weather run. The car reported having 10.58 kWh in the pack when I arrived home . So even though the car reported a respectable 40 kWh/100 mile efficiency, I'd adjust cold weather range down from 220 to 190 miles for my particular car and driving style.
