Fresh from a new injection of cash from the EU earmarked for green vehicle development, Jaguar has announced a commitment to build a mild-hybrid electric version of its upcoming flagship car, the XJ, starting in 2011. The car’s electric drivetrain will be similar to that of the Chevy Volt. In other words, the car will have a range of roughly 30 miles on pure electric power, while a small combustion engine will charge the battery as it runs low.
