That...is my dream car. I just finished telling my wife a few weeks ago that an electric E-Type would be the ultimate. Thanks for posting!

The purist snob in me winced. OTOH, hell, I'd have one!
Thanks for sharing.

170 miles, then a 7 to 8 hour re-charge.....................hmmmm
Not much of a summer holiday is it.
Sorry dear, we can't go today, got to charge the jag first..................

Why don't they do a LPG or LNG or Hydrogen one?
They are all zero emissions as well aren't they?

And unless Jag has added a soundtrack to the car, you will miss the beautiful sound the engine used to make.

Jaguar announced that by 2020, all their cars will be electric... really?

Like you, this worries me, as I love to do long road trips...and not have to worry...
