The UK’s SMMT suggests that he/she is!
They report that in the first half of 2022, 60% more Electric Vans were registered than in the same period of 2021. In fact, the swing is even greater than those number suggest. Due to supply shortages, the overall number of new van registrations dropped so the actual market penetration of Electric Van registrations more than doubled from 2.6% to 5.6%. Not a massive share yet, but a significant increase.

The second good news from “White Van Man” comes from the think tank “Transport & Environment” (T&E). In a survey they found that nearly nine in ten UK self-employed motorists and business operators who they surveyed confirmed that they either already own an e-van or will consider buying one in the next five years.

The Morris JE has a class leading 1,000 kg payload in a 2,501 kg GVW van. This is achieved by the extensive use of lightweight materials, particularly in the re-cycled carbon fibre body and also in the aluminium bonded chassis. We therefore expect the Morris JE to be even cheaper to run than the examples above.
