The production version of the all-electric Jaguar I-Pace hasn't been revealed yet, but 500 people have already reserved the model, according to Jaguar UK boss Jeremy Hicks.


He also confirmed that 50% of Jaguars model line-up will be all-electric or hybrid by 2020 and said the expense of all-electric powertrains means it's "simple logic that these models start higher up in the model range".

Interesting. There are 79 Jaguar Dealers in UK, so the average per dealer is 6.33. I am number 20 on the list of depositors at my dealer.

Is it 500 pre-orders in the UK or worldwide?
He may be the UK boss it's not clear from that statement whether his is just referring to the domestic market.

I think it has to be UK only. Norwegian importer said at the showing of the concept in Oslo that they had 650 people in Norway that have put down a deposit.

The article is in norwegian but it quotes Country Manager for Norway saying: "Jaguar Norway has set a new record in preordered cars with the I-Pace. Around 650 have paid deposit".

Jaguar sold around 450 veichles IN TOTAL in the entire Norway in 2016 so this puts the 650 deposits in quite some perspective!

I got the impression it was UK only. It was taken from a snippet in this weeks Auto Car magazine.

Must be in the UK. My nearest Jag dealer is holding 20 deposits.
