Jaguar will use Tesla Supercharger stations

A large number of electric cars requires solving the issue of fast charging stations, and Tesla is a leader in that field, as it recently installed its 50,000th Supercharger in California. They will be used by all brands whose cars have adopted the NACS charging standard, such as Honda, which has already done so, and from now on, Jaguar.

From 2025, all Jaguar electric cars will adopt the NACS charging standard developed by Tesla, but will only use charging stations in North America. Jaguar has announced the launch of three new SUV models, which will go on sale from 2025. Also, Jaguar says that buyers of the current I-Pace, a model that will end its life by mid-2025, will receive a special adapter so that the car can be powered at the Tesla Supercharger. That will happen already next year.

A large number of Supercharger stations attracts other car manufacturers to accept the NACS standard, and the British brand Land Rover is one of them. The British car manufacturer announced that its new electric cars will be equipped with technology that will allow charging at Suercharger stations.

Jaguar E-Type Limited Edition

In 1961, the British car manufacturer introduced its sports car, the Jaguar E-Type. Its combination of aesthetics, high performance, and competitive pricing established the model as an icon of the motoring world. Now 62 years later, Jaguar pays tribute to this model with 14 modified examples.

They found inspiration in two cars driven by Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori. The cars were primarily built for racing, and with the first E-Type (registration ECD 400) Hill took victory at Oulton Park. In his honor, the body of one example is finished in Oulton Blue with a black hood and white circles. There are also chrome bumpers and the design of the original rims, spinners with the Jaguar Heritage logo.

Inside, the steering wheel is made of wood, while the interior is decorated with Hardura details reminiscent of 60s design, with seats upholstered in leather by Bridge of Weir. There’s also the golden silhouette of the car, the silhouette of the Oulton Park track and the start/finish flag, as well as Graham Hill’s quote: “In racing, my car becomes part of me, and I become part of it”.

The second car is finished in Crystal gray with special markings by Vaughtons, to be as similar as possible to the original model. The interior is upholstered in Dark Navy leather and features engravings such as the Ctystal Palace track, as well as the “King of the Airfields” inscription, which was Salvadori’s nickname.

When it comes to the powertrain, there is a 3.8-L 6-cylinder engine with 265 hp (195 kW) and 260 lb-ft (353 Nm) of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Jaguar also plans to unveil a pair of F-Type ZP Edition cars inspired by the E-Type. They will be produced in pairs, and will be powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine.
