Not that I have an issue with the range or efficiency, but if Jag wants the I-pace to be a bigger seller it needs to increase the range and charging speed as these seem to be the most important specs to reviewers and prospective buyers regardless of how the good the rest of the car is.
When are marketing folks going to realise that making a new product that mimicks an existing product but with limitations is neither progress nor commercially viable.
If a driver wants a car with supercar performance guess what they"ll buy if they can afford it. If we are totally honest, none of us bought the I-Pace primarily because it was good for the environment otherwise we would be driving a Leaf or a Volt.
Compare with meat substitutes - ok, but not the same. Won't outsell a good old fashioned hamburger unless it is marketed as better in some way - perhaps the consumer's health?
Find something that is better about the product that the buyer REALLY cares about and you'll have a commercial success irrespective of any shortcomings like taste, texture, range or charging speed.
[Apologies for the rant, but the average driver doesn't need more range or faster charging. They need more reliability, easier use and cheaper upkeep/ maintenance. Give me an EV that ALWAYS gets me to work 5 days a week with no maintenance costs, no stopping at a gas station, that's easy to drive, and costs less than the alternative.]
