What I-PACE owners report across recent generations

Owner summary

2019–2024 (1st generation, X590)

Jaguar ended the I-PACE after the 2024 model year. CarComplaints has almost no reports, so an owner forum fills in. The 2019 draws by far the most NHTSA complaints, and most concern the high voltage battery, including overheating recalls that cap charging at 80 percent and tell owners to park outside, and many owners mention the charge cap or a buyback. The 2020 draws fewer complaints, mostly about the battery too. On Reddit, a 2019 owner reports the car will not charge past 80 percent after the recall repair. Recalls cover battery overheating, loose battery busbar fasteners and a regenerative brake fault. [1] [2] [3]

What to check before buying

  • Run the VIN through the NHTSA recall lookup, including every high voltage battery recall, and ask whether the final repair or a battery replacement was done or whether the car is still capped at 80 percent.
  • Charge it to its limit and compare the shown range with the listing.
  • Ask for battery health records and check that the brakes respond normally.

Annual fuel cost is EPA’s estimate at its current fuel-price assumptions (15,000 miles a year, 55% city driving), so older years are priced at today’s fuel prices. Smog rating and emission standard can differ by sales area (federal vs. California); both are shown. Source: fueleconomy.gov.
