The world we live in today is all about technological advancement and sustainable development. With almost every sector of the global market benefitting from the surge of this technological revolution, the automobile market managed to pocket some brilliant techno-traits too. Modern-day cars are far from the once-dominant gasoline-consuming heavy hustlers that barely gave any mileage returns. The smart consumer today relies on electric cars that save fuel money, provide enhanced, modern features, and also, do not harm the environment. Electric cars are slightly different from your regular gasoline cars. They come with batteries at their heart, rather than the usual gasoline engines you'd expect to see.
The pick-ups and generic functioning of electric cars are very much the same as your regular fuel cars, if not better. Also, contrary to certain speculation, you do not have to make stops every now and then to recharge the battery. The battery life of some of these big-time electric cars will pleasantly surprise you. It's no coincidence that Gal Gadot, Ben Affleck, and several other Hollywood celebrities rely on these new electric cars for their regular travel. And when one mentions EVs, the cars that come to our mind instantly are arguably two of the best electric cars in the market today - the "Jaguar I-Pace" and the "Tesla Model S". Despite there being a host of ultra-modern electric cars today, these two EVs stand out.
Let's take a detailed look at why these two cars distinctly steal the show in the electric cars category. Also, which one is there better of the two? Let's find out.
Jaguar I-Pace
The 2020 All-Electric Jaguar I-Pace is quite the car to set the tone for your long drives, as well as your daily commute. This fabulously well-crafted piece of modern engineering sets a new benchmark in the world of hi-tech automobiles. Besides, you know that the company means business when they offer you a 5-year, 60,000 miles complimentary maintenance and new vehicle warranty! The 2020 I-Pace is unmistakably the perfect Jaguar car out there. It features a special 90 kWh battery at its heart that generates an impeccable 394 units of horsepower. This battery is unlike any other. It is made of energized lithium-ion pouch cells and forms the nexus of a well-designed state-of-the-art thermal management system. The driver-friendly SUV car design facilitates equitable weight distribution all over and delivers an impressive 512 pound-feet of torque. The agile electric car features pitch-perfect aerodynamics which enhances the overall performance. Resultantly, the 2020 I-Pace is impeccably fast and can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in only 4.5 seconds. The interiors are lavish and spacious. The car is convenient in the sense that it allows you to charge up to 80% in less than 45 minutes (using a DC Level 3 charger). A full charge allows you to drive for a comfortable 234 miles - but does this make this untamed SUV, the best electric car out there? Hang on, we'll find out soon.
Tesla Model S
The Tesla Model S is quite different from the I-Pace in terms of looks. The speed demon at first appears like an ultra-stylish sedan. However, a closer look at the beast will reveal its sports-car-like aerodynamics, craftily backed up by the finesse of an ultra-luxury sedan. While boasting a top speed in excess of 150 miles per hour, the Tesla Model S can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just over 3 seconds. The Model S Plaid delivers a range of 390 miles, which is extraordinarily efficient for an electric car. The interiors, just like the I-Pace are ultra-modern and equipped with a host of infotainment options. However, the wireless car gaming facility on the Model S backed by 10 teraflops of processing power, gives the Tesla car the edge over its competitors. You can even fold your rear seats flat, allowing the stowage to expand enough to fit your bikes in there. So much for stowage issues.
Who Comes Out On Top?
To be fair, the I-Pace and the Tesla S are both genius designs. The I-Pace is, without a doubt, a terrific package. On the other hand, the Tesla monster is a sober-looking speed demon that delivers the best returns in terms of pace and mileage. Users may find returns of their money's worth on both these roadrunners. However, we at HotCars are all about speed and motorcar adrenaline, and as such, we believe that the Tesla Model S is a slightly more convenient option for those who love to race at the speed of the wind, and for longer periods. Just like the Model X, the Model S ticks all the right boxes. And it comes with the trust and goodwill of the Tesla brand. Something that even Gal Gadot herself would vouch for.
