Drivers have been warned not to park near buildings or charge their cars inside
“My car was devalued from £32,000 to now about £7,000… Nobody would buy this car if I tried to sell it tomorrow, because you can only charge it to 90 per cent.
I don’t think that’s an issue, it had 446KM range new, so even at 80% it’s still well over 300KM of range
Just need to make sure the app or setting in the car is set to make sure it cuts off at 90%
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:

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
LG also fucked up the Chevy bolt batteries.
Trash company.
