Who would want an electric Jag?
I don’t recall any recent breakthroughs in battery technology that would be behind this, so I suspect looming US dominance in oil has something to do with all the Eurons diving into electric vehicles prematurely by legislative fiat. And, I’m honestly not opposed to electric vehicles, I think they’re great if they fit your needs and circumstance. But they don’t fit everybody’s need and circumstance, so forcing the issue is going to create problems.
So they are assuming that battery tech will improve at a vastly better than it ever has. Lol!

Can I ask a stupid question???
Where is the electricity to recharge all of these electric cars going to come from?
I know liberals think you just plug in an electrical cord into an outlet , but they don’t often realize that the electricity coming from that outlet has to be generated somewhere.
I read that, if liberals dreams come true, and we suddenly had tens of millions of electric cars on the road, that our power grid and power plants don’t have the capacity to deliver the electricity needed to recharge all those cars.
We really should think all this through before we jump headlong with both feet into phasing out fossil fuels and gasoline powered cars.
From electrical problems to electric car. With more electrical problems.
Because British electrics have the confidence of the world!
With Lucas electrical components?!
Dont Britain and France also want to eliminate Coal and Nuclear power plants?
So, where is all of this electricity going to come from run all these electric cars?
Death of a great marque. I’ll never forget the first time I fired up the ‘61 XKE a friend of my father’s lent me to use for my 14 day leave after boot camp in early 1968. Turn the key and wait for six or seven clicks of the electric fuel pump and punch the starter button. Best automotive vibrations ever conceived.
Oh my, I just can’t wait to not get one!
I’m glad I got mine now.
Big mistake by the Indian owners.
One that drives me nuts are people who pronounce Jaguar as “Jag-wire”. “Jag-war” is fine, the Brits say “Jag-u-ar” and that’s OK too, but only morons say “Jag-wire”.
But now that they are going electric, I guess “Jag-wire” will be their new name, along with the smell of burning insulation.
