Jaguar Names Flagship EV Type 01

Prototypes debut at the Monaco E‑Prix ahead of a full reveal later in 2026.

Overview

  • Jaguar, which confirmed the Type 01 name on Tuesday, says the badge signals a reset to its electric‑only era with “0” for zero emissions and “1” for the first model.
  • Camouflaged Type 01 cars will appear during the Monaco Formula E weekend on May 16–17 alongside Jaguar TCS Racing activities.
  • Company targets point to a tri‑motor setup with more than 1,000 PS and over 1,300 Nm plus an about 120 kWh, 850‑volt battery system, with final figures still to be confirmed.
  • Reports say the production car will keep key Type 00 cues such as a long bonnet, a sloping roofline, and a subtle ‘strikethrough’ graphic at the base of the windscreen.
  • Jaguar positions the four‑door grand tourer as a low‑volume halo on its new JEA platform, with early price guidance ranging from just under £100,000 to about £120,000 depending on the outlet.
