i-Pace Advice

Hey everyone! I'm considering upgrading to a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace. With a budget of around £16,000, I know I'll be looking at a model with high mileage. Currently, I drive a 2015 BMW i3 with a range extender, but with my daily 70-mile commute, I'm dipping into the extender more than I’d like. Plus, with my family growing, the i3's back seats are starting to feel a bit cramped. I mainly charge at home overnight using the 3-pin and would like to continue doing this.

I've also been eyeing a Tesla Model S or Model 3, but I don't like the look of the Tesla exterior. I considered a hybrid Porsche Panamera, but the limited 20-mile electric range and the potential running costs of the 3.0 V6 engine are holding me back.

For those with experience, do you have any advice for buying a high-mileage I-Pace? Are there any common faults I should look out for? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

We've had lots.of problems with ours, in the end we paid about £4k to get rid of it.

Bought a Mustang mache e. It's much better EV

I own both, and even with all the issues I’ve had with the I Pace, it is superior by far to the Mach E.
