Charging your Jaguar I-PACE
Did you know that 95% of journeys made by cars on UK roads are under 25 miles?* That means one single charge would be enough for Jaguar I‑PACE to cover most of your weekly trips.
Here’s everything you need to know about charging and maximising your driving distance in an all-electric Jaguar I-PACE.
HOW TO CHARGE YOUR I-PACE:
PUBLIC CHARGING
With over 20,000 public charging points now in the UK – from remote farm shops to motorway services – it’s easier than ever to charge on the go.
Jaguar I-PACE is compatible with two types of public charging points.
AC CHARGING:
The top part of the vehicle’s CCS inlet is used for AC charging. This is known as a Type 2 connector and compatible with your home charger, public AC charging points and domestic 3-pin plug sockets. AC charging points are located at destination charging stations such as retail parks, gyms and car parks. Jaguar I-PACE comes with an AC Public/Wall Box charging cable as standard.
CHARGING SPEEDS**:
Up to 22 miles of range from 60 minutes for all-electric Jaguar I‑PACE
RAPID DC CHARGING:
The lower half of the vehicle’s CCS inlet features two pins that combine with three pins above to provide rapid DC charging into the battery. The two lower pins can be accessed by removing the inlet’s lower socket cover. Rapid DC charging points are located on motorways and public roads.
CHARGING SPEEDS**:
In all-electric Jaguar I-PACE, a 50kW rapid DC charging point will deliver up to 39 miles of range from 15 minutes. A 100kW rapid DC charging point will deliver up to 78 miles of range from 15 minutes.
HOME CHARGING
When it comes to charging your Jaguar, there’s no place like home. Simply plug in your vehicle on an evening – just as you would your mobile phone – and by morning you can be fully charged and ready to go.
For the fastest charging time at home, we recommend a professionally-installed home charger – also known as a wall box or home charging point.
Installation will typically require private off-street parking – such as a driveway or garage – to connect to your home’s electricity. Please check the suitability of your property with your chosen home charger provider.
-
Charging at home is not only convenient, the cost of electricity is less per mile compared to petrol and diesel. And you can reduce this further with an off-peak electricity tariff.
-
Our recommended home chargers come pre-approved by the government’s Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) and can be used in all weather conditions.
CHARGING SPEEDS**:
-
7kW AC home chargers will charge overnight from 12.75 hours. Or up to 22 miles of range from 60 minutes
-
The average cost of a full charge at home is £13.50
-
The average savings compared to refuelling with petrol or diesel is £38.503
OUR RECOMMENDED HOME CHARGING PARTNERS:
In order to provide you with the most comprehensive charging capabilities and minimum installation lead-time for your area, we have chosen to partner with two OLEV-approved wall box providers. Both Pod Point and BP Pulse’s fast and smart-enabled wall boxes come with a 3-year warranty as standard, and are recommended for their quality and reliability.

SAVE UP TO £350 WITH THE GOVERNMENT GRANT
Jaguar all-electric and Plug-in Hybrid cars qualify for the government’s Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme. This provides up to £350 towards the installation of a wall box by an approved installer. If you are a Scottish resident you may also be eligible for up to £300 in additional support from the Energy Savings Trust.
THREE-PIN SOCKETS PROVIDE ADDED PEACE OF MIND
If you’re away from home for longer periods and a home charger is not accessible, the standard 3-pin plug socket used for electric household items will also charge your vehicle at a much slower rate. This is achieved by simply plugging in your Jaguar's optional Domestic Plug (Mode 2) charging cable.
HOW TO FIND, ACCESS AND PAY FOR CHARGING
Between your vehicle’s navigation system and our recommended Zap-Map app, it couldn’t be simpler to find the thousands of public charging points across the country.
ZAP-MAP
Identifying every available public charging point near your current location and designated route, Zap-MaP is an essential tool if you’re planning a new journey or running low on power anywhere in the UK.
IN-CAR NAVIGATION
Jaguar’s connected navigation system allows you to create door-to-door route planning; monitor live traffic conditions and highlight charging points along the way.
SIGNING UP FOR PUBLIC CHARGING NETWORKS
Although some charge points are free to use, the majority are accessible via convenient pay-as-you-go methods, including mobile apps, membership accounts, or a contactless bank card. The cost of charging in public will typically be a combination of a connection fee, charging time (pence per hour) and/or the amount of energy used (pence per kWh).
We recommend familiarising yourself with more than one provider to ensure the best coverage and payment methods for your routes – especially when travelling or visiting another country.
If you have any further questions, we recommend getting in touch with our team at Lloyd Jaguar Carlisle. We are here to help and guide you through your transition to a fully electric vehicle.

**Charging times will vary dependent on many factors, including but not limited to: the age, condition, temperature and existing charge of the battery; facility used and duration of charge.
