Jaguar's battery driven cross-over SUV will be on the streets soon

All of a sudden the landscape has changed. Fossil fuel has become a dirty word. Even emerging markets are on this bandwagon. Have we got enough Lithium?

Slated for second half of 2018, Jaguar's I-Pace (https://www.jaguar.com/jaguar-range/i-pace-concept-car/index.html) will be taking on, one-on-one TSLA's Model X (http://www.barrettjaguar.com/clp-jaguar-i-pace-vs-tesla-model-x).

These are the impressive specs taken from Wikipedia:

The expected EPA rated range is 220 mi (350 km). The I-PACE is powered by a 90kWh LG Chem[1] lithium-ion battery comprising 40% of the car's cost, and the battery management system is developed by Jaguar. The battery can be charged at 50kW. The 0-60 mph time is 4 seconds. Each motor is 197 HP and 258 lb-ft. of torque, for a total horsepower is 395 HP and total torque is 516 lb-ft. The rear trunk is 18.7 cu-ft., along with 1 cu-ft. of front trunk (or “frunk”) space. The drag coefficient is 0.29.

Here is the concept car from the Jaguar site:
