Jaguar Type 01 EV arrives with 350 kW charging

Jaguar revealed the production version of the Type 01 on October 7, 2026, a four-door electric car with three motors, a 118 kWh battery and 350 kW charging. It starts at $130,500 in the US, Jalopnik reports, and orders open in early 2027. For a car this heavy on power, the bigger story for tech readers is how fast it charges.

The headline specs

Jaguar's press release calls the Type 01 a "luxury four-door GT" and "the most powerful Jaguar road car." A GT, or grand tourer, is a fast car built for long trips. Jaguar says it is designed, engineered and built in the UK. The release says it brings "exuberant modernist design, instinctive driving dynamics and pioneering technologies that will define the future of luxury performance."

Motors	3 (one front, two rear)	Jalopnik, Carwow
Power	Up to 1,030 PS	Jaguar, Carwow
Power	1,015 hp	Jalopnik
Torque	1,365 Nm (1,007 lb-ft)	Jaguar, Jalopnik, Carwow

62-112 mph	4.0 seconds	Jaguar, Carwow
Battery	118 kWh usable	Jaguar
Drag coefficient	0.23	Jalopnik

The power figures use different units. Jaguar quotes up to 1,030 PS, a metric horsepower unit that is slightly smaller than the horsepower used in the US. Jalopnik gives 1,015 hp, split into a 349 hp front motor and two 416 hp rear motors. The torque figures match: 1,365 Nm and 1,007 lb-ft are the same amount.

Charging and range

The charging system is the part with the most technology in it. The car runs on an 850-volt electrical architecture. Higher voltage lets a car take in more power without the cables overheating, so it can charge faster.

The charging numbers:

• up to 350 kW of DC fast charging (Jaguar)
• 200 miles of range added in 13 minutes (Jaguar)
• 10% to 80% charge in 22 minutes (Jalopnik)

Jaguar gives two range figures: 400 miles on the US EPA test and 450 miles (720 km) on WLTP, the test used in Europe. Jalopnik adds 320 miles at a steady 75 mph on the highway. Different tests produce different numbers, so compare range figures only within the same test.

The charging port follows NACS, the North American Charging Standard first used by Tesla, according to Jalopnik. It reports two AC charging ports at the front and a DC port on the passenger side.

Inside the car

The cabin is built around screens. Jalopnik and Carwow both describe a 24-inch digital display in front of the driver; Jalopnik says it is OLED. Jalopnik lists a 7-inch center touchscreen, a second 7-inch screen for the rear seats, and a 38-speaker Meridian sound system.

There is no rear window. Carwow says a camera feed replaces the view out of the back.

Price and timing

US	From $130,500	Jalopnik
UK	Around £120,000	Carwow

Jaguar says orders open in early 2027, with deliveries expected in the second half of 2027. Jalopnik reports US deliveries in 2028. Jaguar's press release does not give a price.

What this means for developers

For people who build or run charging and car software, the Type 01 is a useful marker of where premium electric cars are heading.

• Plan chargers for 350 kW. A car that charges 10-80% in 22 minutes only does so on a charger that can deliver 350 kW. Sites that install slower hardware will not show buyers the advertised times.
• NACS keeps spreading. A European luxury brand choosing the North American Charging Standard for its US car is another sign that charging apps and networks should treat NACS as the default.
• Camera-only rear vision raises the stakes for software. With no rear window, the camera feed is the driver's only view behind the car. Its reliability is now a safety feature, not a convenience.
• Read range claims carefully. The same car is quoted at 320, 400 and 450 miles depending on the test. Anyone building trip planners or fleet tools should state which test a figure comes from.

The car's real test is the 22-minute charge on a public charger. Independent tests, once cars reach buyers, will show whether it holds up.
