The Jaguar I-Pace shrugged off the steep inclines, twisting tarmac and near-freezing temperatures of the UK’s highest paved road to successfully ‘Everest’ at Great Dun Fell, in Cumbria, on a single charge of its 90kWh battery. The award-winning all-electric performance SUV model was driven by Olympic and World champion cyclist, Elinor Barker MBE.
The concept of Everesting is simple, yet extreme: complete a series of runs up an incline until achieving an elevation gain of 8,848m – equal to an ascent of Mount Everest – and Elinor completed 16.2 repeats of the 5.8km climb (a 11.6km loop in total) using the I-Pace’s regenerative braking technology to generate approximately 60 percent of additional available energy over the total 16 descents.Having covered 199.6 km in total, including an eight-mile drive to the start point on the fell, the I-Pace completed its energy intensive challenge with 31 percent battery charge remaining – enough to drive for up to 128.7km more.
Key to the efficient completion of the Everesting challenge was the I-Pace’s regenerative braking system. Developed using technology from Jaguar Racing’s Formula E programme, ‘regen’ is a critical enabler for success on the track. In an average race, the I-Type 5 generates around 30 percent of additional energy from regen, without it the car simply wouldn’t make it to the chequered flag.
Another feature that enhances the I-Pace’s efficiency is Smart Climate, which uses seatbelt sensors to determine how many occupants are travelling inside, and only heating or cooling the relevant areas of the cabin, maintaining comfort while minimising energy use.The Jaguar I-Pace delivers outstanding performance with acceleration from 0-100km/h in just 4.8 seconds and up to 470km range (WLTP).
