British carmaker Jaguar is implementing its plan to become a fully electric car manufacturer by 2025.
This includes the company's shift from its current product range to more expensive electric vehicles.
Jaguar is aiming for a fresh start, which means halting production of its current petrol-powered car models later this year.
The company currently sells five cars - the XF, E-Pace, F-Pace, F-Type and I-Pace - but production is expected to stop in June.
Jaguar plans to launch a new generation of electric cars equipped with high-capacity batteries in 2025.
The company is strategically planning the transition to electric vehicles to coincide with the discontinuation of its current production line, while also planning to stock vehicles for delivery to dealers.
Joe Eberhart, president and CEO of Jaguar North America, explained the change: “Most of our products are scheduled to cease production in June, and although they will be available longer, we have planned for production.” Production and delivery. Vehicles until cars arrive. " "new."
He added: "We are working hard to determine the appropriate timing so that we have sufficient quantities to launch the new product and ensure smooth delivery."
The company will need to put some existing models on sale more than a year after production ends until electric cars hit the market for Jaguar to meet its delivery targets.
The automaker has confirmed that there are three new models planned based on the upcoming JEA platform, confirming that the first model will be a four-door electric GT priced in excess of £100,000 (about $127,000).
The GT electric car has 575 horsepower and is equipped with all-wheel drive. It accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers in less than 4 seconds. It also supports fast charging and has a range of up to 700 kilometers.
The automaker promised to launch the car by the end of this year, with deliveries starting in 2025.
The unnamed GT appears to be targeting other high-performance electric sedans such as the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT.
The automaker confirmed last month that the second model will go on sale in late 2025 and the third model in 2026.
