Here's some news, that I expect should result in 300 to 330 miles EPA combined range for the "90 kWh" pack:
Hopefully a cheaper (and lighter) I-PACE with a smaller pack will eventually make it to our market.
The I-PACE has about the same footprint as a model 3 but is taller with a much larger cab, likely close to the same interior volume as as the (severely overweight) Tesla X.

Jaguar has hinted that it could offer multiple battery options of its first electric car, the I-Pace SUV, providing lower-cost versions which could broaden its appeal with fleets.
The I-Pace goes on sale from March 2018, will at first be built with the single option of a 90kWh battery providing “more than 500km” range (300 miles). Launch models could be followed by versions with reduced power and a smaller battery capacity, using the modular design of the battery pack to provide different kilowatt-hour capacities in a less expensive package. However, this will likely depend on demand.
Speaking to Jaguar’s vehicle integration manager for I-Pace, James Matthews, on-site at Jaguar’s Gaydon HQ, Fleet World was told numerous details about the vehicle including chief specifications: dual electric motors producing a combined 394bhp, 516lb/ft torque, coupled with a 90kWh (84.7kWh usable) Li-ion battery and a single speed transmission...
Lighter is better.GRA said:Why would that be disappointing? BEVs are heavier than ICEs, and 400kg. of weight savings is pretty substantial. Not sure how they stack up size-wise.edatoakrun said:Some semi-official numbers reported below.
Disappointing (IMO) if correct, ~4,500 lbs.400kg lighter than a Model X.
