The JE is a light commercial all-electric vehicle from the British-based Morris Commercial company. The retro-styled van is based on the 1949 Morris Commercial J-type and was first announced in 2017.
The JE was formally unveiled on 13 November 2019, with production originally announced to commence in 2021 with an expected price of around £60,000.[2] At the end of 2022, the company stated that the van would enter production during 2024. The company website was still up as of June 2024. The company's CEO is Dr. Qu Li. Criticized for her involvement with the collapse of the MG Rover Group, her company briefly took over the LDV Group before selling it to China's SAIC Motor. She held on to the Morris trademark with the goal of "restoring Britain's vehicle industry."[1]
The JE is powered by a rear-mounted electric motor and a 60kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The battery has 60kWh rapid charging capability and is claimed to have a range of around 200 miles.[3]
The JE has a payload of 1000kg and a 2.5-tonne gross weight.
It has been designed and developed in Worcestershire, but the location of production has not yet been unveiled. The company aims to produce 1000 a year.[4]
