Jaguar, which will only sell electric cars from 2026, can only watch as the brand's only electric car plummets in value. A full 72 percent of the new price has disappeared.
The Jaguar i-Pace has been a really bad business. Both for the brand itself and for the customers. In 5 years, 72 percent of the car's value has disappeared.
This is shown by a new calculation from iSeeCars .
The i-Pace, which runs on flammable batteries, has lost a whopping 72 percent of its new price in just 5 years. And although all new cars lose value, this is still an extremely high loss of value.
But it's not just the owners who are losing huge sums of money on the problematic electric car. In the US, the importer has had to give up and buy back more than 3,000 cars.
It is simply assessed that there is no point in continuing to repair or troubleshoot the cars.
Here at home, however, the importer denies that the cars are affected by the same faults that plague cars on the other side of the Atlantic. But the problems are nevertheless close at hand.
Norwegians are reporting cars that die after just a few kilometers. One of them is owned by Cato Bryn. But like the Danish importer, Jaguar in Norway denies that there are problems with the i-Pace.
This means that Cato Bryn himself has to pay the 135,000 kroner it costs to have the car repaired, which otherwise has broken down after just 35,000 kilometers. Read more about it here .
Several times leading up to and after the recalls in the US, Jaguar has advised owners to park the cars outside and as far away as possible because there is a risk of the cars catching fire.
Something that owners in Denmark are also worried about. Maira Rodrigues is one of them. As the administrator of a Facebook group of i-Pace owners, she wrote to Boosted when we mentioned a recall of the car.
She has also told the newspaper BT about her fears.
– First and foremost, I want Jaguar to come out of the closet and take responsibility. We can see that they have acknowledged the problem with those cars in several places, she tells the media.
However, Boosted can document that Maira Rodrigues asked us for the exact same recall the day before BT published the story.
