The Jaguar I-Pace is going to be India’s second luxury electric vehicle after the Mercedes-Benz EQC. However, unlike the Mercedes, the I-Pace has one big advantage, that is a robust charging system, thanks to Jaguar’s tie-up with Tata Power. One can charge the I-Pace at Tata Power’s 200-plus points across 23 cities. It’ll also provide the 7.4kW wall box charger for charging the I-Pace at your home.

However, the Jaguar EV lags behind the EQC is in the powertrain department. It develops 400PS of power and 696Nm of torque, which is 8PS and 64Nm less than that of the Merc. However, it has a larger battery pack, and therefore, the increased WLTP-claimed (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) range. Here is the detailed specification of both the models:

	Mercedes-Benz EQC	Jaguar I-Pace
Power (PS)	408PS	400PS
Torque (Nm)	760Nm	696Nm
Battery Pack	80kWh	90kWh
WLTP-Claimed Range	Around 400km	470km
Fast Charging Speed (0-80 percent)	40 minutes*	45 minutes

*10-80 percent

Prices of the Jaguar I-Pace are likely to start from Rs 1 crore. Apart from the Mercedes-Benz EQC, the I-Pace will also face competition from the all-electric Audi e-tron set to be launched later this year. For more details on the India-spec I-Pace, click here.
