Whitley, 11th June, 2018: The revolutionary all-electric Jaguar I-PACE will be available for key company car fleet decision makers to drive at Company Car in Action 2018. Hosted on 12-13 June at Millbrook Proving Ground, 11 I-PACEs will be on-hand for laps of the specially designed tracks and routes.

With a 298-mile range (WLTP), five seats and zero emissions, the I-PACE is both a practical and financially savvy choice for fleet and business buyers. Thanks to its zero emissions powertrain, the I-PACE sits in the lowest Benefit-in-Kind band –  just 13% – and in 2020/21 it’ll be liable for just 2% as new legislation kicks in. Data from KeeResources shows the I-PACE costs just 5.26 pence-per-mile to run, roughly half the cost of a standard diesel-powered, four-wheel-drive SUV.

The C-X75 supercar inspired I-PACE performance SUV has already received critical acclaim, being named a ‘Game Changer’ at the 2018 Autocar Awards and collecting the What Car? 2018 Reader Award, securing it the title of the most anticipated new car of 2018.

Enhancing its appeal further, it is now confirmed that the I-PACE will qualify for the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) electric vehicle grant schemes. The first all-electric Jaguar is eligible for both the £4,500 Plug in Car Grant and the £500 Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme.

Jeremy Hicks, Jaguar Land Rover UK MD, said: The I-PACE is an utterly incredible piece of engineering; sports car-rivalling performance, petrol car-rivalling range and looks to outdo almost anything else on the road. But what people may not realise, is that I-PACE is actually an extremely compelling fleet car, too. At Company Car in Action, we want fleet decision makers to not only experience I-PACE’s qualities on the road, but also on the balance sheet. Very few cars will be cheaper to run per-mile, residual values are best-in-class and the benefit-in-kind obligation couldn’t be any lower.”

Packed full of the latest innovations the Jaguar I-PACE will be fully compatible with DC Rapid Chargers (100kW) as the technology is rolled out across the UK, enabling a 0-80 percent charge in less than 40 minutes. Home charging with an AC wall box (7kW) will achieve the same state of charge in just over ten hours – ideal for overnight charging.
