A key rival for the electric Jaguar F-Pace will be the upcoming Tesla Model X and one of the key reasons behind the development of the car is increasingly changing legislation. In the United States for example, eight states including California have adopted new Zero Emission Vehicle legislation which stipulate that between 2018 and 2025, sales of zero emission cars will reach 15.4 per cent from 5 per cent. All told, it is hoped that the effort will result in 3.3 million zero emission vehicles being on U.S. streets in the next 10 years. With this in mind, it is speculated that the all-electric Jaguar could arrive for the 2018 model year ... When it is all said and done, the Jaguar electric car could have a range of around 480 km or 300 miles and could even spawn an electric Range Rover.

Baldauf/SB-Medien ] Could have a range of approximately 300 miles (483 km) According to a recent report, Jaguar is developing an electric vehicle which could be based on the F-Pace. Citing "well-placed industry sources," Autocar is reporting is the model is being created to meet increasingly stringent fuel economy and emissions standards as well as growing demand for electric vehicles. Little is known about the car itself, but it will reportedly have a range of approximately 300 miles (483 km) and could arrive for the 2018 model year. There is also speculation that the vehicle's powertrain could be shared with an electric Range Rover but nothing is official as of yet.

Destined to wear the Jaguar badge, the new model would be a variant of the recently-confirmed F-Pace SUV range; itself based on the C-X17 concept of 2013. British mag Autocar quotes “well-placed” industry sources, saying that the F-Pace EV would target a range of around 300 miles (480km). The carmaker recently reserved the rights to the name “EV-Type”, but it seems unlikely that such a name would grace an all-electric SUV. Land Rover is also rumoured to be working on an electric SUV (perhaps as a Range Rover model), and that model - along with the Jaguar F-Pace - could share a platform and key components for a two-up JLR assault on the Tesla Model X when it arrives. The 2018 timing is reportedly aimed at satisfying new laws in the US state of California and others, which demand EV sales rise from a minimum of five percent to 15.4 percent of a carmaker’s total sales volume by 2025. Growing charging infrastructure and public acceptance of EVs in the US is expected to drive demand in other markets, so the F-Pace SUV is unlikely to be a US-only affair. The report also cites new ‘zero-emission zones’ in some of the world’s largest cities (including Paris) as a motivating factor, with authorities believed to be considering such rules to curb air pollution. No word at this stage on whether a range-extended version is also being considered, or what price tag the F-Pace SUV might wear when it arrives in 2018.

Although still unconfirmed, it is thought that the new model will be based on the upcoming F-Pace SUV. It should have a typical range of around 300 miles. JLR has experience with electric transmissions through its development of the cancelled CX-75 supercar project, which was engineered in conjunction with Williams Advanced Engineering in Oxfordshire. The two companies' ongoing collaboration includes the building of the C-X75 supercars that will be used in the filming of the new James Bond movie, Spectre. There are two reasons for the move to a pure-electric powertrain, the most important of which is new Zero Emission Vehicle legislation introduced in California and adopted by another seven US states. These laws demand that, between 2018 and 2025, the number of new ZEVs sold rises from 5% of all new cars to 15.4%. Secondly, analysts expect rising demand for electric luxury vehicles as more global cities start to introduce ‘zero emission zones’ of the type proposed for central London. Tesla has also proved that there is a rising global market for an upmarket all-electric vehicle. With SUVs and crossovers dominating the US new-car market, and Tesla’s long-awaited Model X SUV on the way, an electric F-Pace makes good sense. It seems there’s also a good chance that Range Rover will offer an all-electric SUV using the same technology as the Jaguar's. Last year Autocar revealed that Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern was considering a new line of Range Rover models that could be “incredibly luxurious and low-slung”. It’s thought that this potential new model could be based on the same basic aluminium architecture as that of the F-Pace, but with a greater emphasis placed on opulence in place of the F-Pace's focus on dynamic performance. Building the EV across two brands will also help reduce per-unit costs and the pricing potential for a super-luxury electric Range Rover must be tempting to JLR planners. The unexpected success of Tesla - an example of a very rare breakthrough into the automotive market from a start-up company – proved what trend spotters had suspected for some time. It is the world’s most affluent consumers who are most enthusiastic about ‘green’ technology. And considering the cost of building an electric car with a near-300 mile range, it is only the most affluent that can afford it. Moreover, vehicles driven by electric motors are inherently smooth, refined and swift, which gives them a decisive advantage against conventional luxury cars that use internal combustion engines. Tesla sold around 32,000 vehicles in 2014, with the biggest market being the US. That’s only a pinprick in the global car market, but the new legislation in the US should help change that and this niche market will expand as more mainstream makers get involved. California has led the way on pollution reduction since the famous 1974 model-year ‘smog’ regulations. One of the most important markets in the US, it had originally wanted around 4% of new cars by 2025 to be either ‘Zero emission’ (battery powered) or Plug-in Hybrids. The modest aim was dramatically upgraded so that, by 2025, some 15.4 per cent of new cars – or around 230,000 units in California – would be half ZEVs and half plug-in hybrids. Such a demand would have been important enough to Jaguar Land Rover on its own. However, a total of eight US states (California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Oregan, Rhode Island and Vermont) signed up for the California proposals. These are states on the east and western seaboards of the US and are among the most affluent. The combined efforts of the eight should see 3.3 million zero emission vehicles on the roads of the US in 10 years, especially as the states themselves are committed to massively expanding the charging network. The rules and regulations around which carmakers have to build ZEVs are immensely complex, but as JLR sells more and more cars in the US, thanks to changes in the legislation, it is likely to be ranked as a ‘large volume manufacturer’ before the end of the decade. This means it will be required to sell ZEVs in California and the other seven supporting states. Indeed, it seems that JLR might have to have a battery-powered car on offer for the [2018] model year. And the more ZEV models JLR sells, the more ‘credits’ (another complex part of the legislation) it can offset against the sale of conventionally engined models. Investing in electric SUVs and Crossovers is not just for the future US market. China’s government is also pushing for more of what it calls ‘New Energy (electric) vehicles’, which, again, are most likely to be afforded by the most affluent drivers.
