If they are dumb enough to have an electric only XJ that will be the beginning of the end of Jaguar I fear. The primary market for the XJ I doubt wants this and I would say 75% plus of the secondary market wouldn't touch and electric XJ with a 10 foot pole.
Now if they want this as an option, that could do ok.

It's either 2020 or 2021, JLR is going to have an electric version of every model available, along with petrol versions still being available. In the UK, I've heard they are trying to do away with Diesel, not just for Jaguar Land Rover, but other manufacturers as well. Whether this will actually happen in UK not sure. As for JLR having an electric version available, most likely.....

Will the Jaguar XJ Go Electric? - Motor Trend
"Ian Callum told the publication that the XJ should remain the brand’s flagship instead of an SUV. He also noted saloons need a makeover in a new era of electrification and amid the rising popularity of SUVs, without making specific reference to the XJ. Jaguar will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the XJ this year."

Its my 'working truck' everyday diving-- Dodge Durango. I am in the country, closest neighbor is a 1/4 mile away - saw mill. Its loaded with all the extraJag has. GPS works great- fast.The gas mileage is the last thing I ask about when buying. I always felt the Jag was good on gas, for how its grouped, the other cars its compared to. Was told its the only one that did not pay the gas tax. Never understood how they got away with that. Are they still?

New electric XJ
Sounds like Tata motors wants to get in on the carbon tax trading scam, just like Elon Musk! It would be a HUGE uphill battle for JLR, obviously Quality control takes a back-seat to profit margines! This C-2 concept car was all electric with 1200 HP! Hey, I'll run a turbo audio track to make up for lack of sound as long as it doesn't spend half it's life on the rack!

They aren't keeping the gorgeous, unique taillights? wtf? That makes no sense to me, those things are as distinctive as how Cadillac uses vertical lighting on all their headlamps and taillights or how BMW uses their quad, circular headlamps, etc.
This is such a wonderful Jaguar design I am surprised they aren't sticking it on any of their vehicles.
