So. let me get this right.
Jaguar spend £100 million developing an all-electric XJ saloon. The new CEO announces Jaguar vehicles will become all-electric in the future and also announces cancellation of the new all-electric XJ !! Something not quite right there, surely ?

Looking like things are getting even a bit more questionable at jaguar. Supposedly, 2021 is the last year for the sales of the XE and the XF Sportbrake in the US. Sounds like they may be sold in other markets, but the US is not going to see them. So, for the US, if you want a jaguar, you have either a sports car with the F-Type or you have the XF. Looking like Jaguar is following the lead of the other manufacturers and going to an all SUV line-up in the US. Should be interesting.

They want to compete with Aston and Bentley.
For people who see Mercedes as basically Rolls Royce, they were already doing a decent job of being the Bentley to "Rolls Royce".

Plan B
It's politics - the New World Order to stop pollution, reduce global warming, and save the planet. Politics drives business decisions and survival of the fittest.
JLR and its parent Tata must be profitable to survive, unlike governments that can continually spend other people's money. Governments have the power to determine who will be winners and and who will be losers.

So you thought you could help reduce air pollution and save the world by buying an electric vehicle. That didn't work out so well for Texans last week when the electric power grid went out. The road to the future is paved with hiccups.
Times change and, ironically, what goes around comes around.
Around 1900, everybody got around by horse and buggy, but only really rich folk could afford a new-fangled automobile. Today, cars are everywhere, but only really rich folk can afford a horse! Without electric power, their new-fangled 1,000 HP electric Tesla is useless. So it's deja vu 1900, - back to the days of 1HP, hay-powered transportation. That's Plan B if you own a ranch.
