The Jaguar I-PACE is rated 79.6 MPGe (83.6 city, 76 highway) — that is not petrol economy but the distance it covers on 33.7 kWh, the energy held in one gallon. Drawn from a socket it needs 42.3 kWh per 100 miles, so 12,000 miles a year costs about $863 at $0.17 a kWh. The EPA's own annual figure for it is $960.
Every Jaguar I-PACE version, compared
The Jaguar I-PACE was rated in a single specification, so its consumption does not vary by version — only by model year. Yearly cost assumes 12,000 miles at $0.17 a kilowatt-hour.
| Version | Combined MPGe | City / Highway | Years | Charging per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electric | 83.6 / 76 | 2019–2024 | $863 |
What that actually costs
MPGe is an abstraction; the electricity bill is not. At 12,000 miles a year the Jaguar I-PACE draws about 5076 kWh, which at $0.17 comes to the figures below.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Energy use | 42.3 kWh per 100 miles |
| Cost per mile | $0.072 |
| Charging per year | $863 |
| Charging over five years | $4,315 |
| Against other Electric cars | +$182 a year |
| EPA's own estimate | $960 a year |
City or highway — who is this car for
The Jaguar I-PACE is one of the cars that does better in town than out of it — 83.6 in the city against 76 on the highway. That is $46 a year in favour of the commuter stuck in traffic, and it usually means a hybrid drivetrain recovering energy every time you brake.
| Measure | Value | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| City | 83.6 MPGe | $822 a year if you only drive in town |
| Highway | 76 MPGe | $904 a year if you mostly commute |
| Gap | -7.6 MPGe (-9%) | Reversed — it does better in town than on the open road |
How the I-PACE changed over the years
The I-PACE peaked in 2024 at 85 MPGe (89 city, 82 highway) and was at its thirstiest in 2021 at 76 — 9 MPGe apart, or $96 a year in fuel between buying one year and the other. The 2024 car does 85. Jumps usually mark a new generation or a new engine; dips often mean a heavier body or added all-wheel drive.
| Model year | Combined MPGe | City / Highway | Versions offered | Charging per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 89 / 82 | 1 | $808 | |
| 2023 | 89 / 82 | 1 | $808 | |
| 2021 | 80 / 72 | 1 | $904 | |
| 2020 | 80 / 72 | 1 | $904 | |
| 2019 | 80 / 72 | 1 | $904 |

How we count
This page rests on 5 EPA ratings of the Jaguar I-PACE — 1 engine across 2019–2024. The mileage is EPA's laboratory figure, unchanged; the yearly bill is ours, at 12,000 miles and $0.17 a kilowatt-hour, against EPA's own estimate of $960. Full method.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Jaguar I-PACE rated at?
79.6 MPGe combined on average — 83.6 in the city and 76 on the highway, per EPA ratings across 2019–2024. MPGe is distance covered on 33.7 kWh, the energy in a gallon of petrol — the car itself takes none.
How much does a Jaguar I-PACE cost to charge per year?
About $863 at 12,000 miles and $0.17 a kilowatt-hour — roughly $4,315 over five years, or 0.072 dollars a mile.
Which I-PACE version is the most efficient?
The Electric at 79.6 MPGe.
Is the I-PACE efficient compared with similar cars?
Against other Electric cars it sits below the average of 101 MPGe, computed across 426 ratings.
Are these real-world I-PACE figures?
No — they are EPA laboratory ratings, the same ones printed on the window sticker, and EPA's own annual fuel estimate for the Jaguar I-PACE is $960 against the $863 we compute at 12,000 miles. Expect a little worse in practice: the spread between the city and highway figures is smaller than the spread between two drivers of the same one.
