If you think we had our frustrations getting to Lands End in the Jaguar I-Pace, allow me to talk about the journey back. Several weeks and a very good holiday later, and I"m only just getting over it. It"s a vivid demonstration of some of the costs of keeping an EV charged in unknown territory. I"m talking about the high and unpredictable price in money and in time and, let"s face it, in ferocious psychological anguish. As recalled in the outbound journey, we did actually perform one charge on the way to Lands End, even though it ran contrary to the goal we"d set ourselves of getting there on a full battery. But the prototype car"s instruments were mis-reading and fooled us into getting a charge we didn"t need. Not a full charge, just a ten per cent splash"n"dash.
