Jaguar Car Brand To Be All-Electric By 2025

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.

It would appear, that some of the larger vehicles will be powered by hydrogen.

But it is an interesting, even if it is an inevitable move.

I find these two paragraphs interesting.

But it has dropped plans to build an electric version of its XJ saloon at the Castle Bromwich plant, meaning the site will eventually stop making cars.

Chief executive Thierry Bolloré said the plant would focus instead on “non-production” activities in the long term, without giving details.

Note.

1. Castle Bromwich is a large site.
2. It’s probably not in the best place to build thousands of cars.
3. Would turning it into a giant battery-pack factory be classed as non-production?

It sounds like there’s a cunning plan.

• As an engineer, I believe, there’s only one way to build an electric car and that is as light in weight as possible to make sure the car goes as far as possible on each charge of the battery.
• So this will mean the sort of construction methods used for Formula One cars and aircraft.
• Will this in turn mean a brand new factory, that makes cars in radically different ways?

I think there’s a lot more to be disclosed.
