The electric Jaguars, measured differently
Jaguar has 1 model that never visit a filling station, averaging 79.6 MPGe. That figure looks four times better than the 19.8 mpg the petrol Jaguars manage, but the two are not the same unit — so we keep them apart and price the electric ones in kilowatt-hours.
| Model | MPGe | kWh / 100 mi | Charging per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaguar I-PACE | 42.3 | $863 |
