Well to be honest it would not be right and proper to put an iconic Jag emblem on an EV.
It would be like putting a diamond tiara on a pig. 
I would love a proper Jaguar as an EV. Sleek lines ... |

| The 3 door would be fine for a second car for us. But it's the 5 door that has me interested, as that would give a bit more extra internal space. If it was a BEV then power/torque would not likely be ... |

| I don’t believe that demand is the reason. The Jimny 4 seat version is not sold anywhere in the EU. Every source has stated that emissions is the reason, and that’s why the commercial has been ava ... |

| Ironically the whole regulation hurts the smaller manufacturers the most, as they don't have the broad range of high volume cars (including hybrids and BEVs) that can bring their averages down. The Ji ... |

No, because I’m talking about refilling while on a journey, if it takes 6 times as long you’ll need 6 times as many ‘pumps’ - unless people’s driving habits change significantly. For the ... |

Nobody is saying that EVs won’t suit 90% of journeys, for local driving about or things like taxis or delivery vans in cities they are very suitable.

My Puma can add 400 miles in five minutes, which is a whole different league to the figures you have quoted above.

Thank you, I was just curious. Just something that would need to be factored in for anyone planning a journey in similar conditions in the future.

I'd be interested to hear how the recent cold spell effected the range of EV vehicles when the heating had to be on more than usual.
