Is it at all possible to limit maximum amount of charge when charging? Like stop charging when 80% full? If so, how?
I filled out their questionnaire and hinted that they need to polish their Charging.Chewy said:You think Jaguar will implement any of those excellent ideas from McRat?
Charge level limit is a must. However, we don't know exactly what charging to 100% actually means for the I-Pace. At a guess, Jaguar leave a bit spare at the top and at the bottom.

But I also stated that JLR needs to give the owners a place to submit 'bug fixes' directly to JLR. The reason? EV owners are more tech savvy on average. The data is probably going to be helpful. Secondly, if you have a place to voice your opinion, you are happier with a product, hence why EVERYBODY now has a rating and comment dept. It's psych-ops tech. If you feel somebody is listening to you, you are less stressed.
Will they implement? No idea. Tesla and GM did at first and it was effective.
Tesla has an in-car option to "report" a bug.. press the voice control button on steering wheel, start with "bug report" and talk.McRat said:I filled out their questionnaire and hinted that they need to polish their Charging.Chewy said:You think Jaguar will implement any of those excellent ideas from McRat?

When you look at the Power Meter at the top of the round 'speedometer', you will notice to the left side, a green radial line when charged at 100%-95%. This is the regen limit. Watch it move while you drive and then it disappears. So it has some regen at 100% which means the battery is not truly at 100%.Chewy said:You think Jaguar will implement any of those excellent ideas from McRat?

Absolutely, I agree. Every time I decide to 'put the spurs' to the i-Pace it plasters a big grin on my face. I'm an amateur racer who is used to high powered V8 sportscars. But I didn't buy another two door 200mph car either. I bought a fun car for reasonable speeds that doubles as a luxury sedan.Chewy said:Spot on with your comments McRat. And it drives like a dream. Actually feels and handles like a car.
Tesla has the head start on tech, but Jaguar wins hands down on class, style, build quality, luxury, road handling, drivability, and useability. The car itself is pretty much perfect, though lack of a rear wiper and the cheap thumbwheel on the steering wheel could have been better thought out. The software issues can be sorted by OTA updates over time.
I've done just over 2000 miles now and find it better as I get to know the car.
I am getting around 230 to 250 miles on a full charge which should improve in the summer.
I wrote a command yesterday explaining why I think OTA updates are needed and what difference it makes to my 2013 Tesla.McRat said:Yes, Tesla does have some advantages to the other options available today. And they have a 10 year head start on some of the tech.
After comparing the advantages of the Teslas vs the i-Pace, I chose the i-Pace and at this point I'm very happy with the decision at 1,200 miles.
What sold me?
The interior is more human compatible than the Teslas, regardless of price. Functionality of the interior is far better. This is pretty important since a useful interior is major benefit.
I don't need to play with the center LCD for normal operation. Everything I need is on the dash, steering wheel, HUD, or knobs.
The autosteering 'nag' doesn't come on as often, and there is no penalty box that I know of.
When you add 360° view, HUD NAV and Autosteering status, good auto-wipers, good auto-highbeam, blindspot side mirror icons, charges to 100% by default, charge port in front, great stereo system, shorter OAL yet has good headroom in the back seats and more comfortable seating, and has lots of passenger and driver storage area and USB/12v ports, you come up with a more useful car.
Bling? The body has better styling for 2018. At least a dozen people have come up and complimented the car, and were stunned when I told them it was an EV. The interior looks like a luxury car.
Will Jaguar catch up with the OTA technology? Perhaps in time. But a very well designed car is correct when delivered and should not need updates more than once a year max. Neither Tesla or Jaguar can claim that though.
In the end, I want a car that does everything as advertised without needing updates.

Most of your arguments in favor of the Jag in your original post are rather subjective - that's fine. We're not equal. -lMcRat said:I doubt anyone deleted your post without Messaging you.EDi99 said:...

In any case, what did OTA do for your 2013 other than deliver features you paid for already? Did it fix the G1 door handles? The Center Display hardware failures? The motor bearing design? The drivetrain overheating after <8 minutes on the track? Lack of One Foot Driving? Low city efficiency?
If I bought a microwave oven and box said it will make popcorn, but I had to wait a year for an OTA kludge to make it work, I'd be angry.
Tesla owners see that as the Bright Future For Consumer Goods.
I'd argue that you're totally missing the point with that paragraph.McRat said:Will Jaguar catch up with the OTA technology? Perhaps in time. But a very well designed car is correct when delivered and should not need updates more than once a year max. Neither Tesla or Jaguar can claim that though.

Agree to the wishlist, would be great if you could simply define an amperage based charging profile in time including a max SoC target. For different tariffs during the day but also when you have to share the amps with the furnace, tumble drier etc this would be great. But ok, so far even the timed charging is not even working.McRat said:That's what Jaguar USA told me when I questioned their charging features. They rely on the owner buying a Chargepoint L2 to control charging.
Ehhhh... Not the right way to do it. Not every place they charge will have a Chargepoint they can program.
i-Pace needs;
Charge level programming, or just a 90% point so we get max regen immediately.
Departure based charging. You tell it when you want to leave, and it makes sure it's charged. This also preheats the battery since they get warmer when charging.
GPS location based charging. Only your home probably needs a late night Time Of Use charging window, other places should charge immediately.
Amperage based charging. For those with Demand Based electrical tariffs or more than one EVSE on a circuit.
Display of charging kW, and volts/amps would be nice as well. This helps estimate when using a 3-ph power source.
I would wait with a Java port until things are more stable but feel free to have at itfox_nl said:Will try to a look tonight. I'm a Java dev, so I need to brush up on my Python skills. Hmmm, time for a Java port?
