- A lot of people in the UK have been getting their new i-Paces recently and I thought it would be useful to have beginners guide. I recommend watching this in conjunction with my hints and tips playlist
shop.spreadshi... for merchandise to support the channel.
Many thanks to Simon Houghton for his help on this one. Simon has a great blog at ipace.online and is @carcapture on twitter.
Thank you for this video. I am getting my I PACE tomorrow and have found this very useful.
almost a year now how did your new
Jag work out? Thinking about buying one for my wife this summer. Thx
Such a useful video, thank you so much for the time you've taken with it!
Thank you very much, my dealership have been pretty useless, ignoring my questions, and Jaguar themselves are equally inept "it's not a manufacturing fault" so it's wonderful to get some useful support.
Salesmen are normally not interested in helping you after you have parted with your cash. Mine seem to be better than the norm, although he's called Steve. However Steve ran through the intouch controls so quickly that he'd might as well not done it and I've been finding out for myself via excellent videos lick Gary's and others over this lockdown 3 period.
Great video. I’m hoping to get an iPace by the end of the year. First EV so there’s a lot to learn.
Excellent video, thanks Garry
This was needed. Thank you
Thanks for a beginners revue, at this point in time and provided the number of charging points in the region, I think my electric car purchase will be put on hold.
Where are you based John?
Also do you have the ability to charge at home because if you do that will account for the majority of your charging. Its a different mentality from a petrol/diesel. Most of my journeys I don't have to charge
Just about to get a iPace this year so I would say there will be more charging points up and down the country
Very helpful, thanks much.
@Kevan Berresford for some reason your comment is showing up for me although I was notified of it. My comment on most public chargers being untethered was in the context of Type 2 chargers. Yes if you count DC chargers then most are tethered.
Isn’t there an app to control delayed charging from outside the car?
Winter wiper park is up on the heated screeen area. In summer they can be tucked away
Yes indeed. I'm terrible about remembering to do that. Does make a bit of difference to range too so should remember.
To be able to charge to a desired % level overnight, say for example to 80%, I use a 32amp evse that allows me to select 6, 10, 15 or 32 amps. I then select the current that will give me the closest to the SOC I want by the morning.
Clever
For prolonged battery life avoid using the high speed chargers and try to keep battery between 20% and 80%. Battery max capacity will reduce much quicker if you don't do as above.
Actually when you charge to 100% in the iPace you are not actually going to charge the battery to its full capacity more like 90%. The engineers left a top and bottom buffer to help with this charge cycle . I note they have changed the advice in the manuals for later model years though to only charge to 80 percent unless needing to do a long journey. As the battery is cooled high speed charging also degrades a lot less than it would with say something like a first gen leaf.
New i-pace owner. 2019 model. Have you come across an auto volume adjustment option by any chance? To stop music going lower when speed increases. Thank you
Thank you for this detailed and very useful video. Your time and effort is much appreciated.
Still looking into which ev to get but this Jag is so cool, sporty, and classy at the same time so is on the top of the wish list.
Just need a bit more time to take some profit from my crypto investments such as Hex, Hedron and Icosa and once the time is right will start doing test drives.
Sadly no chance to charge at home so is a bit bummer.
All the best
Do you know much about the air suspension? How do you lower the suspension, it only seems to work when the car is stopped or going very slowly. I have not noticed it go down at speed, and it ignores me when I try manually, even at 100km/hr
Think I mentioned in the video it will always return to normal height at speed. The lowest height is called access height and Jaguar only intend for that to be used when stationary. I'm told the aerodynamics are tuned for normal height.
Jaguar remote has frozen and no longer works on my IPace. It says that it was last contacted 6 days ago and the info (location, trips, range etc) obviously all out of date. Started the car etc but no joy! Tried delete and re-install of app.
Hi Keith. Apologies for the very delayed reply. I haven't been getting comment notifications on some of my older videos. Hopefully this has been fixed by now. I believe you may have been victim of some server issues that were occurring at the time. I'm assured that these have been improved.
Whats the name of the Android app you recommended at the end?
WattCat. Unfortunately as Jaguar have recently changed the api it may no longer work
Rapid charging, and availability of chargers for those on the move, remains very important. The likes of Amazon makes purchases easy, yet some of these charge point supply sites make purchases unnecessarily complex or 'fiddly.' for the narrators criticism of Uk charge points. It is NOT a criticism of the I Pace but a criticism of supply networks for all electric cars. Tesla own their sites I believe. Perhaps Govt. is missing an opportunity here to build sites and benefit from the income? Too many suppliers of charge points with differing access protocols
( cards, downloading apps. etc.) I would like an EV but until the chaotic and slow roll out of Rapid charging points improves the nI will stick, for now, to hybrids that can be topped up from home and also negate "Range anxiety" caused by perceived lack of access to RAPID chargers. NOTE: I say 'Rapid' as opposed to the many slow chargers dotted about the country.

To be fair the latest government white paper addresses a lot of your concerns on charging. Hopefully will discuss this on my next vlog
*Outstanding video. Thanks*
Very useful video. I've just had a pod point installed but disappointed as it doesn't have a charge time option, so I can't set it to take advantage of Octopus Go. So looking at your guide I set the preferred charging time in the I-Pace for 00:30-04:30 but the car charges as soon as I plug the pod point in. Am I missing something?.
Preferred charging is a little more complex than it needs to be. Jaguar assume you always want to charge to 100% by your departure time. Preferred charging only works if you set a departure time. If there isn't enough time to charge your car to 100% in the charging window you have chosen then it will start immediately. One trick is to set the departure time several days in advance so that it will think it can charge over multiple preferred charging periods.
@@EVOwner Yes tried that and set the departure time to the 10th August and still the I-pace started charging straight away. My sure fire way of solving it is to replace the Podpoint RCBO in my fuse box with a 12.5 KW rated breaker with a timer. Available on Ebay for £46. Although to comply this should be carried out by a cert. electrician. But a doddle to instal.
@@Thereishope664 good plan. The iPace will power up the charger immediately on low current draw to check the state of the battery but it shouldn't actually start charging until the preferred time if the conditions are met.
@@EVOwner Thank you for persevering with me, I have managed to set it up now. It's a bit tricky and confusing for sure. Why Jaguar didn't incorporate a separate option for timed charging heaven only knows. Another point of note is that my I-pace being an early model is going to the agent in Brentwood to have the tacky Jaguar stickers replaced with the later embossed type. The existing decals are peeling at the edges. A terrible design and it may be worth mentioning that this is something that Jaguar will do FOC on your TH-cam channel.
Can you turn the interior sound off, in one of Jaguars videos it says there is three levels including silent mode.
Take a look at the start of this vlog th-cam.com/video/V79Tdo7OCC8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for that, there is so much to learn. Just one other thing, is there only one heat setting on the steering wheel as mine doesn’t seem to get that warm and even that seems to have patchy.
@@ukcarver yes only one setting. Mine gets pretty warm but the metal parts are always cold to touch
Thank you for the advice it’s always a great help.
How it works the Meridian sound system, and does de car rise or lower when it opens?
I will try and do a Meridian video. You can set what is called access mode to lower the height on entry. Will try and do a video on that too.
@@EVOwner thanks for the feedback!
is the cheapest s model worth it with no options, or should i get a high spec 2018/19
Obviously the S has less tech features. Although with the 21 model it is a lot closer and does have the new infotainment system. You will though get exactly the same exemplary performance and handling (although the Optional Adaptive Air Suspension in the higher models makes a difference). A lot of people didn't use to like the 18inch wheels on the S but the new 19" standard wheels seem to me to be a good compromise. Having said all that there are likely to be some really good deals on MY20 ex demonstrators which may mean you can all the bells and whistles (although without the new infotainment) for less than a base 21 S model
iPace Owner does the 21 model have 19inch wheels?
on the jag website the cheapest ones are 18inch
@@josephjohnson9649 new configurator has 19s at zero cost on MY21 S
iPace Owner oh great thanks. also how long does it take from order to delivery?
My advice is don't buy one, I own one yes, face-lift model, traction battery issues, massively common with them, jlr struggle to repair them, plus it can take months just to book it in, when mines fixed, it's going.
Too much about charging
Interestingly when I asked people what they wanted to know the number one request was how to charge and where.
iPace Owner interesting. I’m an IPACE owner too and I love the car.
I wish I could understand what is being said. Maybe after I buy an I Pace I will understand this video a lot better. At the moment it’s all gobbledygook to me.

Why in god’s name do you need an app to charge a car. You should be allowed just use contactless payment, on every charger.
The new regulations in this year should enforce contactless payment on rapid chargers.
20p per kwh!! How times have changed in the last 3 years :(
This guy is a mumbler. Very annoying.
A DEATH TRAP. Please refrain from gettin this car. You will repent. Mileage 150 (claimed 292), Stops in the middle of nowhere if goes on graveled road or hit a pot hole, Gets stuck in car wash and what not. Service zero. Give a shit your issues.
Sounds like you've had a horror Rohit and although I have now moved on from the iPace and did have some issues that definitely gave me pause I didn't feel as strongly as you obviously, and sounds like justifiably do. I was getting a genuine 230 mile range before I gave it back. JLR really need to sort their dealer networks customer care out.
@@EVOwner what car did you move to and how's the experience with it so far? I'll be test driving the I Pace in a few days and in the process of getting a used one 20 or 21 plate. But so many negative comments about it I see on the internet worry me. Should I just avoid it and go with something else? Thanks
@@borinvlogs the iPace is a great car and I don't know of a better handling EV other than perhaps the Taycan. I'm now in an EV6 which is definitely very close and close enough for me for the price difference but if an IPace with the spec I had wanted been available at the time I would probably still be driving one.
Hi can you give some more information about cruise mode
