Jaguar I-PACE To Be Featured In Luxury EV Chauffeur Service At London Heathrow

The new Jaguar I-PACE will be at the center of an all-new zero-emissions luxury chauffeur service running to and from London’s Heathrow airport, courtesy of the WeKnowGroup.

Initially, the service will commence this summer with just 50 I-PACE models, with the option to later add a further 150 units. Thanks to its quoted 298-mile (479 km) range on a single charge, the I-PACE should more than exceed the average daily mileage of a chauffeur car, which is about 114 miles (183 km) per day.

“This is a significant step change in our successful, decades-long relationship with Heathrow where we operate arrivals desks in all terminals, to assist thousands of travelers every year,” stated WeKnowGroup CEO, Peter Buchanan. “We provide transport as well as a broad range of other services including entertainment, hotel rooms, tours attractions and telecom products. Today’s agreement also extends our deep, long-standing relationship with Jaguar which has allowed us to proudly claim that we run the largest chauffeured executive Jaguar fleet in the UK.”

The I-PACE is already compliant with London’s January 2020 ‘zero emissions-capable’ requirements aimed at private hire vehicles, and it’s all thanks to its 90kWh Lithium-ion battery with 432 pouch cells. Jaguar’s first-ever EV also has the ability to charge at 100kWh and can be “refueled” from 0% to 80% in just 40 minutes.

UK buyers interested in owning an I-PACE instead of just using it to and from London Heathrow, can order it now from £63,495 ($85,781), a price tag that excludes government incentives.
