The i-pace is a 2020

 

I just set a manual timer and unplug when it's at 80-90 percent, but I also sometimes just let it go and charge to 100%. Charging to 100% doesn't damage the battery (yes there is a buffer) but I wouldn't let it sit for too long at 100%.

 

MY2018-2020 do not have the ability to stop at a specific SOC. WattCat (Android) app has a feature that it can monitor charging and stop it near the target. This is dependent on the phone and car maintaining cellular service.

As for charging, please read https://www.ipaceforums.co.uk/threads/range-loss.6956/page-4#post-91333

 

Don't worry about filling it up to 100% on the Jag, by design you can't reach real 100%, as opposed to the Tesla , where Elon wants to use every single electron of the battery, so he put very little buffer (or no buffer at all ?) on the battery, and ask owner to manage the buffer themself.

 

It is plugged in overnight and used in the am. It may sit at 100 for 3-5 hours. Is that too long? And it begs the question, why didn’t jag set it up like Tesla. Manual timer for such an advanced electric vehicle seems oxymoronic.

 

Jaguar (as have many other EV makers) built in a buffer for the battery, so charging to 100% and discharging to 0% is not actually 100 and zero to the battery, so the battery never experiences those extremes. Tesla decided to leave that strategy to the owner and recommended 80% but gave you the option of using 100% when needed. Many of us still only charge to 80'ish %, but it is unclear if this is actually beneficial or just gives us a sense of control. Jaguar does not recommend limiting to 80% as they are confident maintaining their buffer is just as good and keeps the battery talk to a minimum since any talk of EV batteries increases the anxiety of potential customers who are considering switching to EVs, but are worried about long term battery life. Ideally, you want the EV to be as similar to an ICE car as possible to reduce the reluctance to switch.

In general, I think most people agree on the following general guidelines. When charging using a L2 charger (what we normally have at home), there is no hard reason to limit charing to 80% however if it is 6 of 1 and half a dozed of the other, there is no harm stopping at 80% and maybe, just maybe, you might be a little easier on the battery (but may be more for our sense of control than actual battery longevity) and Jag says it is perfectly fine to go to 100% all the time. If you charge using DC fast chargers all the time, then there is a stronger argument that going to 100% all the time might be harder on the battery and lead to faster degradation. Charging does slow down as you get to 100% (to protect the battery), so it is also unclear just how bad it is. It gets more expensive on many DC chargers to go to 100% since the charging slows after 80%, so there is a financial incentive to use the fast chargers more in their best efficiency range, which is below 80%.

It may not be the best idea of leaving your car sit at 100% for weeks or months at a time (I don't think there is any evidence that it is an actual issue, but in general batteries don't like sitting at 100% in long term storage), but for day to day use, there is no reason to worry about having your battery sit at 100% after charging before you drive your car.

 

People, thank you for all your info and time. Question answered fully, I appreciate it.

 

5 years in, and only charging the car to 100%, I haven't noticed any impact on range. Not like we go long distances, but the GOM shows the same numbers more or less.

 

Hi guys, I’ve got 2019 I pace and my problem is that it’s not charging more than 72% , plus it says battery fault detection. In dealership they answered that 28th battery is detected but other dealers said it’s problem of settings. Did u experienced that kind of probs ?

 

No settings on a 2019. You have a bad cell module in the traction battery. See information on recall H441 (type H441 in search function).

 

Do you know what’s the average price is for one modul ?

 

There is more to the cost of the fix than the cost of one module. There are numerous bolts, seals, coolant, etc., involved plus labor. You would have to check for prices in your area.

This should be covered by the recall at no cost to you, or argue for coverage by 8 year/100000 mile warranty.

 

Unfortunately it’s totaled and retailer can’t do anything for me. So I have to change modul myself and trying to figure it out now)
