UPDATED JAGUAR I-PACE AND ECOTRICITY X GRIDSERVE'S 1ST SITE

EV Channels Review

The Fully Charged team revisits the refreshed Jaguar I-PACE, reaffirming its status as a premium SUV alternative. While the 2021 update brings subtle cosmetic changes and a new standard infotainment system, the core appeal remains its brilliant engineering and engaging driving dynamics. The reviewer highlights its strong road-holding, responsive acceleration, and a realistic range of 220-260 miles, though acknowledges its premium price point (around £65,000-£70,000). A standout feature is the innovative camera cleaning system for the rear-view camera, deemed a 'genius' solution to a common problem. The new infotainment is described as impressive, though the driver's display is considered basic. The reviewer also praises the physical heating/cooling knobs but finds the seat cooling function a bit too intense. The video also covers the new Ecotricity x GRIDSERVE charging hub, lauded for its ease of use, speed (72kW, ~150 miles in 30 mins), and ample charging points, marking a significant step forward for UK EV infrastructure.
