The Audi鈥檚 footprint is also larger than the Jaguar鈥檚, which translates to more room in the cabin as well. The practicalities of living with an EV are as much about charging, and with up to 150kW charging capacity available, e-tron charge times are respectable. Using a 3.6kW domestic feed a full charge will take 26 hours and 45 minutes. With fewer moving parts than a normal car you鈥檇 expect electric vehicle servicing to be more affordable. Not with the e-tron, though, because a two-year package costs 拢799. Jaguar is planning a new service plan range for this summer, but prices aren鈥檛 out yet. Audi came 16th in our Driver Power 2019 satisfaction survey to Jaguar鈥檚 ninth, but the e-tron鈥檚 safety is strong and it gets a full five-star crash test rating, thanks to standard autonomous braking and lane-departure warning. Blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert are part of a 拢625 pack. Electric cars are all about efficiency, but the Audi鈥檚 effort is a little disappointing. We saw 2.3 miles per kWh, which means its 95kWh battery should give a maximum range of 219 miles.
At 拢13 for a full charge based on an electricity price of 13.8p per kWh, it works out at just 6p per mile. The Jag was more efficient, returning an average of 2.5 miles per kWh. Although the 90kWh battery is smaller, its more efficient powertrain will give a total real-world range based on this figure of 225 miles. Using the same electricity cost, this works out at around 5.5p per mile. Testers鈥?notes: 鈥淭he e-tron can cope with 350kW charging, so its usable life should be well into the future as infrastructure improves. Not only is the I-Pace our favourite premium EV, it鈥檚 also our reigning Car of the Year, so the e-tron is going up against one of the best cars on sale, not just the best in the class. At 拢74,995 in top-spec HSE trim, it鈥檚 a little pricier than the e-tron, but is the Jag actually better value and therefore a better car?
The I-Pace was Jaguar鈥檚 first EV and sits on the brand鈥檚 D7e platform for electric cars. The layout is similar to the e-tron鈥檚, with the battery sandwiched in the floor and supplying two electric motors - one on the front axle and one on the rear - to give 395bhp and 696Nm of torque. The Jag鈥檚 battery offers slightly less usable energy than the e-tron鈥檚, at 90kWh, but again, the British EV鈥檚 lower weight means Jaguar claims a higher WLTP driving range on a full charge, at 258 miles. Unlike the e-tron, which accepts up to 150kW DC rapid charging, the I-Pace is currently only set up to take 100kW charging. This might be more of a problem for the future when the charging infrastructure advances to support this. Hooked up to a 100kW supply, the I-Pace takes 42 minutes for an 80 per cent boost, while on a 50kW hook-up this increases to 71 minutes - the same time as the e-tron.
If you鈥檒l be charging overnight with a wallbox, a full charge should take 13 hours 30 minutes, while a standard three-pin connection will take 27 hours from empty to full. This is likely only to be for emergency use for EV owners. The I-Pace鈥檚 cabin is nicely executed, with high-quality materials and plenty of standard features in HSE trim. It doesn鈥檛 feel as futuristic as the e-tron perhaps, but all the elements to carve this out as Jag鈥檚 standalone EV are there, including three digital displays for the infotainment. The driving position is great, while nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, too, along with heated and cooled leather seats, matrix LED lights, climate control, loads of safety kit, 20-inch alloys and adaptive cruise. You have to pay 拢1,100 for air suspension, though. The moment you start moving you can tell the I-Pace is a better EV than the e-tron. Its performance is stronger, with a bigger hit of torque that hurls the lighter Jag at a rate that leaves the Audi trailing.
