Hybrid cars can be highly fuel-efficient because they combine the gas engine with an electric motor. Electric vehicles run on battery power and produce zero emissions -- rides are far smoother, quieter, and more sustainable. Overall, EVs are more efficient and deliver excellent performance. However, hybrids offer better flexibility and range. So, then how will you decide which powertrain is right for you? Are you ready for all-electric driving?
Hybrid vehicles have dual power sources -- the conventional internal combustion engine, or ICE, integrated with an electric motor. Using a mix of electric and petrol, both systems work in conjunction and, when required, draw power from a high-voltage battery. The electric motor supplies power during low-speed conditions, while rapid acceleration utilizes the ICE. Additionally, hybrids come in a variety of concepts, such as parallel hybrids, series hybrids, and plug-in hybrids. While most hybrids don't require charging, PHEVs are a little different; they are equipped with batteries that use an external charging source.
Electric vehicles do not have an ICE -- instead, they are entirely powered by electricity, which is stored in a battery meant to perform on the road. The lithium-ion battery requires charging at regular intervals through a public EV or charging station at home. There are two primary components on the EV - the traction battery pack and the electric traction motor. The traction battery pack stores energy received via a charging station, while the electric traction motor uses energy from an inverter to move the car as the motor turns. Without the presence of an ICE, the EV does not burn petrol or diesel, and with no emissions, it is a sustainable option for the environment. EVs are thus significantly cheaper to maintain.
The Jaguar I-PACE is an all-electric SUV and has won the World Vehicle of the Year and World Vehicle Design of the Year awards. Defying all EV conventions, the car delivers an all-electric performance, offering both poise and power. You can stay connected even on the road and enjoy all the purposeful technology embedded in the I-PACE's sharp and detailed design. With unyielding acceleration, the car is capable of zipping from 0 to 100 km/h in about 4.8 seconds.
Choose your Jaguar I-PACE R-DYNAMIC HSE with premium LED headlights and signature daytime running lights. The fixed panoramic roof provides a generous share of sunlight, and the Meridian 3D Surround Sound System lets you enjoy your preferred music and entertainment, just the way you like it.
