THE BRITISH VW ID. BUZZ? NEW MORRIS JE VAN REVIEW EXCLUSIVE FIRST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The Morris J-E presents a unique proposition in the electric van market, blending retro aesthetics with modern EV technology and sustainable materials. The reviewer highlights its compact exterior dimensions, which belie a surprisingly spacious and practical interior, capable of carrying two Euro pallets and a one-ton payload, exceeding that of the VW ID. Buzz Cargo. The van's construction, particularly the recycled carbon fibre body and aluminium chassis, contributes to its impressive lightness (under 1200kg). Available with three battery options offering up to 250 miles of WLTP range, the J-E is positioned as a premium, niche product rather than a high-volume fleet seller, with a price point around £60,000. While the reviewer acknowledges it's not a mass-market vehicle, its distinctive design, British engineering, and potential as a rolling advertisement make it an appealing choice for brands prioritizing style and PR alongside zero-emission operation. Production is slated for the end of the year with customer deliveries following.
