At just 21,500 miles my Jaguar I-Pace suffered a critical battery failure. To make matters worse absolutely no help from Jaguar Assistance, as just out of warranty.  The Jaguar I-Pace was left with 75% charge prior to a two week holiday and on return was completely dead, well not quite, just enough power to open the doors and post a battery failure notice on the dashboard before dying altogether. Not enough power lock the doors again though, so the car is now sat outside my house unlocked for all to see.
