Jaguars Tesladödare a dream to drive – until the anxiety takes over

Jaguarens idiom is a bit difficult to grasp, at least initially. Linjeföringen recognized from the E-Pace, and the F-Pace, but Pace has a private expression that hindsight really appeals. In marketing it is argued that it is a suv.

The relatively low instep do not resemble the suv, the crossover might be better (but that is the epithet of the Jaguar reserved for the F-Pace). A kind of sports car for the four feels most right.

the Design with a wheel in each corner and a gently sloping rear windscreen, rounded off with the sharp cutting in the rear (the latter is a bit like the old Saab 9000 CS), provides a powerful impression without being the least aggressive.

This formula, however, has nothing to with good all-round vision to make. With an eye in the rear view mirror reminds rear window most of the early Folkornas paltry ditto. Style can be recognized from, for example, group sister the Range Rover Evoque.

anyway, In-the Pace is good looking in a kind of sophisticated way, clearly worthy of the venerable Jaguar.

The 400 horsepower is distributed on two engines, one on each shoulder, and gives by eldriftens direct torque this five-seated car of breathtaking acceleration. Zero to a hundred to go at 4.8 seconds.

but it was also here that the novice in me began to suspect something and gets restless. Should the electricity be enough?

My only fully electric bilbekantskap then the former is Mitsubishi's small car I-Miev. A shorter tour centrally located in Stockholm eight years ago, was a small but still eye-opener for what eldriften have to give. The concept of räckviddsångest already existed then, but no I had reason to think of (DN:s Pia Gripenberg was arrested, however, by räckviddsstressande concerns...).

Two days in a row was, however, this particular anxiety is palpable in the Jaguar, in a high degree depending on bad planning is blamed on my lack of elbilserfarenhet, but also of the non-functioning charging stations – in my case in the town of Vingåker and Katrineholm. With 18-mile range, the named seemed the most risky, from the town of Vingåker, where a charging station at an outlet store gave zero in the result – guiding the home towards Stockholm, a total of 16 miles.

in Katrineholm, two with a total of seven laddpunkter, the head of the company informed that the three were out of order. After many if and but, with commendable help of the on duty serviceperson, we produce electricity for the car's thirsty batteries on one of these points.

But it took time to get to an extra dose of 58 kilometres. Luckily Mcdonald's was situated, with a warm coffee and other things in the näringsväg.

Help, so a little force there is in the battery! And 22 hours and 47 minutes before it is again fully... Photo: Kalle Holmberg

After the shooting the next day followed a further portion räckviddsångest. Eventually rescued by a charging station at Huddinge hospital visitor parking. Clean hägringen, but it was really el that stood there and waited. Thank you!

Tesla's bet on its laddservice is exemplary, a major reason behind the brand's success. In the long run, however, need a standard emerge that all manufacturers can adhere to.

drivability, notwithstanding laddningsaspekterna. In-the Pace is absolutely wonderful to drive, the ride is comfortable with air suspension (optional) as a factor, a convenient compartment for at least four another. A fifth passenger in the middle rear can hit the ceiling, and in addition, the ”nudge out” the neighbors.

the Hard driving pass, the four-wheel drive car, understeer can be felt in sharp curves when the driver allows the inappropriate high speed. All in all, however, I felt that sportbilsegenskaperna were not there to be exploited, partly for the greatly increased elåtgången, but also to In-Pace is a långfärdsvagn that gobbles the miles in a dignified and quiet surroundings – the high-sounding tyres when the tarmac is rough.

The heavy engine braking that comes out when you release the throttle – a condition of extra charge in the process – feels initially somewhat unpleasant (the car's brake lights to warn behind even without pressure on the brake pedal). Afterwards vande for me, with the result that the feeling of always give the car gas appeared. The function can be muted, if you like.

in the Tesla's class – reasonably wide, not more. The rear seat backs can be folded according to the kombikupéprincipen for larger space.

safety features like blind - spot and filvarnare in the equipment. Euro Ncap has given In-Pace is the highest rating, five stars in its crash test.

Tesla is still a time before the Jaguar. But the british have with the indian capital has produced a worthy contender, not least in order to premiumkänslan is evident in the In-Pace – a luxury car simply.

please don't Forget to remove that Audi E-tron and Mercedes EQC is in the elbilskapplöpningen.

the First test on Swedish soil: So is the Tesla Model 3 to run

the Audi E-tron: ”The electric car that sets a new standard in the class”

Mercedes ' new electric car to challenge Tesla

Tesla's value is best among three-year-old cars

So it was that the switch to the electric car – bensinkostnad changed to amortization

Loaded love at first sight
