Just got an email from Jaguar, " Build your new Jag", fun to go through the steps of model, color, interior, engine, and all the accessories.
One of the accessories they offered in their options was a built in C-tech. I guess they finally understand the battery draw of their vehicles
Anyway, my F Model built the way I wanted only came to a little under 88k, I guess if I wait 10 years from now I'd be able to get it for 20K.

 

Wait two years and it'll probably be half price. I got my three year old off-lease CPO for less than 30% MSRP and it was nearly perfect.

 

I like having the Cteks on my toy cars; my X150 came with one of the jaguar branded ones from the former owner. I added to the Maserati and X100 XKR. My winter car is a diesel VW; I have a float charger, battery warming blanket and a coolant circulation pump all connected to an outlet that's in the front fog cover that works great to have a warm, fully charged battery, cranking a warm block and getting heat to the cabin instantly in a little diesel. The drop cord I plug in is on a timer too so i'm not just always burning electricity.

I think on the X150 I need to go underneath in back and see if I can put in an outlet underneath in the wheelwell liner all stealth to make it slicker than open the hatch and plug it in.

This kind of outlet (like my VW):

 

Do a search for how ‘jagtoes’ did his, behind the rear bumper cover, very stealth, and dryer than the wheelwell.

 

Why not mount it behind the rear licence plate which you put on hinges with a magnet to keep it in place?:-)

 

I placed my CTEK behind the left grill in the trunk. The the leads are routed to the battery. The power supply is routed to a marine grade male receptacle with a rubber cap to protect it. The receptacle is in the center of the rear valance just out sight when viewed from the rear. It's been this way for a couple of years. I detailed the project here a few years ago. When garaged, it's plugged in full time.
