Refuelling problems with Jaguar XF

I've started experiencing problems when refuelling the tank of my 2011 Jaguar XF. The fuel pump starts clicking when the tank is 1/3 full and it's almost impossible to fill the tank to the top. My local dealer can offer no explanation to the fault, while forecourt personnel blame vapour locks in the tank. Can you offer any insight into this problem?

Blocked breather. Might have been damaged by a pump nozzle at some time.

With the price of petrol and diesel lowering slightly and the price of electricity likely to double if not more, will the cost of fuelling an electric car remain less than petrol or diesel?
