Jaguar Land Rover's luxury Jaguar brand will be entirely electric by 2025 and the carmaker will launch e-models of its entire lineup by 2030, it said on Monday, as it joined a global race to develop zero-emission vehicles.

JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, said its Land Rover brand will launch six pure electric models over the next five years, with the first one coming in 2024.

That’s direction of pretty much all the car makers including Ford

Yep. What’s going to happen to the gas stations over the next fifty years? They all going bankrupt?

JLR will be lucky to even exist still in 2025, this is just their PSA they will be shutting their doors in 4 years.

Yep, a lot of adjustments. Instead of getting gas and running in and getting a drink you will plug-in and go in to watch a movie! LOL

We are in rolling blackouts right now, which brings up many other topics with electric vehicles

They'll still exist. I'll have a gas vehicle for a long time.

Likely they'll pivot to electricity as well. You'll see the oil and gas companies building and maintaining their own grids.

Life will go on and businesses and the population will adapt as always.

Same here, Dallas area, I laughed when I heard our windmill power generation systems went offline because they frooze.

So what is the green solution to our ice and snow blackouts to keep the family warm, let alone charge the car?

I have 6" of snow in my yard with 12" drifts, no one told me Texas ever got this cold, 3 degrees this morning with wind chill -17 degrees.

Miami when it gets below 60 degrees:

I'll believe that the companies with the WORST track record for electric anything in their vehicles are going fully electric... yeah...

WORST track record

People & companies babble every day just to make themselves feel important. John Kerry in 2009: "The truth, is that the threat we face is not an abstract concern for the future. Scientists project that the Arctic will be ice-free in the summer of 2013"

So, according to him, the world prolly won't even make it to 2025

My Maserati Gran Turismo MC sounds awesome with its guttural tuned V8 and I love to rev it up next to a Tesla. I know every body is pushing electric but I'm just not sure everybody jumping on that bandwagon is the answer. I like the Bronco is running off gas even if it might by the end of the road for ICE.

This got environmental pretty quick so I will add that if anyone doesnt agree the humans are screwing up the planet pretty damn quickly, then they just dont have faith in the american can do attitude. Mother nature hasnt even begun to see our power. Personally i focus my energy on trash reduction, but i do still tune my carbs a lil rich.
