Guys, just had my H514 update done today. I guess that means I'm limited to 80% charge. However, I can't seem to find if it's now safe to charge indoors? Anyone know?

Have you read the notification letter?

I can assure you, they will not say it’s ok to charge in doors. That would open up to responsibility. I have been and will be charging in doors. I’ve added smoke detectors and a camera to help warn me so I can get out of the house. I’ll accept the risk.

Ok thank you for the reply. I'm out of town often so would worry about leaving it in the house. I think I'll just sell it, dealer seemed to think nothing will be done about it ever. They were not happy to see another iPace coming in this morning. I get the impression they are over it.

I personally don’t worry about it sitting while not charging. I’m more concerned about it charging unattended. I know this is blasphemy. But I may get a new MachE because the 2025 have ventilated seats as an option now. That was one of my must haves.
At least that car will get support. My JLR dealer I bought my iPace from is now only Land Rover and a Jaguar service center. So in a few years they won’t support it anymore . I really like the IPace and as of lately it’s been performing perfectly. But it is hard to not to feel like I bought a bastardized vehicle.

I have a Mach-e as well. It's mine and the iPace is my wife's. The Mach-e is fantastic. Such a solid car. iPace is nicer inside, but for half the cost it's hard to beat. And service has been no problem at all.

The IPace is such a nice car. It’s such a shame us owners are feeling left out on a limb.

This ongoing battery dilemma is psychologically maddening. Regardless of the outcome, having to deal with this every time you go to start the car is particularly debilitating. The buyback option is only considered after all else fails and benefits only a few. Months on end of driving a loaner car while the I Pace sits in the shop waiting for battery modules or other parts is fucking annoying. For most Jaguar I Pace's constant electrical problems makes them almost unusable for extended road trips for fear of being stranded. These cars are now so stigmatized to the point that guests simply do not feel safe stepping foot into the car for a night out. Sad.

Ignoring this problem will nearly guarantee the end of Jaguar. Seemingly small thing to management, but as they try to re-invent themselves as a super-premium EV brand, this will haunt them. I think it was going to be a hard uphill pull for them anyway, but this will seal their fate. Their only attempt at an EV thus far has shown their lack of investment in customers and product. They're done.

California has the following legal definitions and I would expect that other states are similar:
Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 44, November 1, 2024
Section 13 - Shall, Should, May, and Best Practices
In determining whether compliance with a law, regulation, rule or policy is achieved, the following definitions apply:
(a) "Shall" means action which is necessary to achieve compliance and no alternative courses of action are acceptable to achieve compliance.
(b) "Should" means action which is preferable to achieve compliance, while recognizing that there are circumstances where alternative courses of action are open to users.
(c) "May" means action which is an acceptable course to achieve compliance, but alternative courses of action are also acceptable.
(d)"Best Practices" means a technique or methodology that, through experience and research, has been proven to reliably lead to a desired result, while recognizing that alternative techniques or methodologies are open to users.
Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 2, § 13

The recall says "Should" so is parking in the garage still in compliance?

November 8 2024 recall report

Adding to the general chaos surrounding my ownership of my car, I hit 85% SOC this morning at a ChargePoint CCS, and still going when I ended the session. My car allegedly got the H514 patch installed last week, so of course I was expecting the session to end at 80%. Car is going back in Tuesday morning because I can't charge at level 2 at all (either before or after the H514 work, presumably not a related issue), so I'll ask what might be going on here.

 

[Ayepace]

Would those of you who got H514 fed to their cats please check the Battery Energy Control System value (the long string of characters) and post what you now have?
Has it changed from starting with BS/BT/BU/BV? What is the rest of the string?

Updating your signature to include this information would be nice too. See mine as an example.

Thank you.

"Has it changed from starting with BS/BT/BU/BV? What is the rest of the string?"

PS "connectivity system"...that's the TCU version? 18.2? Do I care what version I have? Anyway I'll add that to my signature too.

Also here's what they did last week:

I received the newest H514 software today and the maximum my car will charge is 72%. I suspect they need to reset the high temp alarm they gave me the last time they were playing with the H441 software and called it a trail H514 software. My first number letter of my BECS is Y.

I get mine done tomorrow. I’ll report back also.

That would be interesting to see if they have added more info (more PID) in the "BY" compared to the "BV" version.

I was just looking around and LG Chem makes the IPace Battery and LG energy solution makes the battery for the Chevy Bolt. I know the bolt has a recall similar to the iPace.
Similar recall different solution.

“The Advanced Diagnostic Software will initially limit your vehicle’s high voltage battery to a maximum state-of-charge of 80%. If no anomalies are detected after approximately 6,200 miles (10,000 km) of use, the high voltage battery will automatically return to a maximum state-of-charge of 100% without a return trip to the dealer. After this occurs, the software’s advanced diagnostics will continue to monitor your vehicle’s high voltage battery system. Once this software is installed on the vehicle, the recall will be resolved.”

I wonder if that would be a route Jaguar would take? 6200 miles would take a while for some.
