    This is both a safety issue and a financial hit to Jaguar EV owners. This is the sort of situation that results in class action lawsuits.

    Jaguar is on a rapid decline and this could be enough to kill the company.

      Oh don’t get me wrong it’s a clusterfuck, LG have been an absolute disaster with batteries:

      The car has all-wheel drive via two motors powered by a 90 kWh LG Chem liquid cooled lithium-ion battery

      They also have a home battery recall here in Australia:

      https://www.productsafety.gov.au/recalls/ess-home-energy-storage-system-batteries

      This safety recall was extended in August 2021 to include additional affected models.

      That’s interesting

      More than 26,000 vehicles in the UK up to the end of the 2021 model year are thought to be affected.

      I wonder if it’s the same underlying issue on both that LG messed up badly
