Myth 2: Lagging is an inevitable part of using an electric vehicle, so sacrificing performance is the price paid for being environmentally responsible.

Electric vehicles provide instant usable torque, which means that upon acceleration the driver experiences no lag. Additional driving features on the Jaguar I-PACE, such as all-wheel drive, also enhance driving performance.

Myth 3: Range limitations conflict with an average driver’s lifestyle demands.

According to a study by MIT in 2016, 87 per cent of trips by vehicles operating on petrol can be managed by electric vehicles. Most EVs can be conveniently charged at home ports provided by manufacturers upon purchase. Battery charging times have decreased in the years since EVs were first brought to market. Simultaneously, battery life times have been extended. Municipal entities tasked with energy management in Singapore have aggressive plans to increase charging ports across the country to allow EV users added convenience. Strategic driving techniques, manufacturer optimisations and a charging strategy can also alleviate looming fears about range.

Most public charging stations are Level 2 AC, with the capacity to charge at 240 volts, and can fully charge an electric car in a few hours. Level 2 AC home charging ports are provided by most major car manufacturers to help drivers manage their daily driving demands.

Some of the Jaguar I-PACE’s features, such as Eco Mode, can extend range by reducing energy depletion. Additionally, the heat pump transfers heat from the air outside to the cabin through the heating and ventilation system to lessen the power demand on the battery.
