The Evening Standard reports, “All new Jaguar models will be electric or hybrid by 2020.” Jaguar is not the first car maker to make such claims but it is worthy to note that a “classic” E-Type Zero model is being eyed as well. Gotta like that kind of tech.



Jaguar Land Rover’s CEO Dr Ralph Speth said: “We will introduce a portfolio of electrified products across our model range, embracing fully electric, plug-in hybrid and mild hybrid vehicles. Our first fully electric performance SUV, the Jaguar I-PACE, goes on sale next year.”

A number of other car makers have made similar announcements this year. Volvo have said all of its models will be electric or hybrid by 2019, and Ferrari plan to have all their new models built with hybrid engines within two years. All cars sold in the UK will need to be electric or hybrid by 2040 and the Scottish government plans to phase out sales of new solely petrol and diesel cars by 2032 through an expansion in charging facilities.
