Welcome to our dedicated Isuzu electric and hybrid offers page here at JT Hughes.
As the motoring world continues to move towards cleaner driving, commercial vehicle drivers and fleet managers no longer need to choose between environmental targets and heavy-duty strength.
That is why Isuzu has built an international reputation for rugged dependability, and this new generation of electrified pick-up trucks brings you that same toughness into the zero-emission era.
So, whether you run an agricultural business, manage a commercial building team, or need a reliable company workhorse that cuts your tax bills, our range of electric and hybrid Isuzu models delivers the right balance of performance, practical value, and day-to-day savings.
The Next Generation of Electric Commercial Pick-Ups
Welcome the arrival of the all-electric Isuzu D-Max, which marks an exciting turning point for options for commercial vehicle operators to consider.
For years, electric vehicles often meant giving up the muscle needed for genuine work. Especially as many early electric pick-ups failed to offer full 1-tonne payloads or the standard 3.5-tonne towing limits that professional drivers depend upon every single day.
In comes the Isuzu D-Max EV solves this problem completely.
Proven Steel Ladder Chassis
Engineered on the proven steel ladder chassis that makes the diesel D-Max a class leader, the electric model replaces fossil fuels with an advanced lithium-ion battery system and dual high-output electric motors.
You also get the familiar durability and commanding driving position of an Isuzu, paired with instant electric pulling power, whisper-quiet road manners, and zero exhaust emissions.
Real Commercial Strength Without Compromise
At JT Hughes, we also understand that a pick-up truck is primarily a tool of the trade.
If it cannot tow your trailer, haul heavy machinery, or carry construction materials, it cannot do the job.
That is why the Isuzu D-Max EV was engineered specifically to protect core commercial capabilities.
Some of its core features for instance, include:
3.5-Tonne Towing Capacity
Unlike many alternative electric commercial vehicles that compromise on towing capacity, the electric D-Max matches the 3.5-tonne braked towing rating of its diesel siblings.
So, whether you are pulling livestock boxes, plant trailers, diggers, or heavy machinery, the electric powertrain delivers strong, continuous pulling power straight from a standstill.
Over One-Tonne Payload
To retain essential commercial tax benefits in the UK and handle heavy goods on site, a pick-up must carry a legal payload of at least 1 tonne.
The Isuzu D-Max EV delivers a maximum payload exceeding 1,000 kg. This allows you to load bags of ballast, tools, timber, and equipment into the load bed with complete confidence.
Permanent Four-Wheel Drive
Working conditions across Shropshire, Mid Wales, and the wider UK can change rapidly.
The electric D-Max also uses dual electric motors, one mounted on the front axle and one on the rear axle. This provides permanent all-wheel drive with balanced torque distribution, making sure you have dependable traction across muddy fields, gravel farm tracks, and snow-covered country lanes.
Battery Range and Daily Driving Capability
The Isuzu D-Max EV is fitted with a durable 66.9 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, placed low down within the chassis rails.
This smart bit of kit then protects the battery from debris while keeping the centre of gravity low, improving road handling and ride comfort.
Full Charge
On a full charge, the electric D-Max provides a combined WLTP range of up to 163 miles, extending to over 220 miles during stop-start city driving.
For the vast majority of UK tradespeople, landscapers, utility workers, and delivery teams, vehicles return to base or home at the end of each shift. A predictable working radius means 163 miles easily covers daily operational routines without any range anxiety.
Electric Motor
Electric motors also feature adjustable regenerative braking.
So, whenever you ease off the accelerator or brake on downhill slopes, the electric motors capture kinetic energy and feed it back into the battery, boosting your overall range.
Charging Solutions for Home and Workplace
Keeping your electric pick-up charged is straightforward, flexible, and far cheaper per mile than filling up with diesel.
Home Charging
Connecting your vehicle to a standard 7 kW home wallbox overnight provides a complete charge in around ten hours.
By pairing your vehicle with off-peak electricity tariffs, you can wake up every morning to a full battery at a fraction of the price of diesel.
Workplace and Depot Charging
For companies operating one vehicle or an entire commercial fleet, an 11 kW AC workplace charger can fully recharge the 66.9 kWh battery in approximately 6 hours.
This makes depot charging during shift breaks or between operational runs very simple.
Public Rapid DC Charging
When you are on the road for extended journeys, the D-Max EV supports 50 kW DC rapid charging. This enables you to top up the battery from 20% to 80% in roughly one hour, giving you enough time to take a break, complete paperwork, or grab lunch.
Tax Relief and Lower Running Costs for UK Businesses
One of the most compelling reasons to switch to an electric Isuzu pick-up is the significant financial savings available to sole traders, limited companies, and company car drivers.
For example, here you can benefit from:
Low Benefit-in-Kind Company Car Tax
For business drivers using their company vehicle for personal travel, traditional diesel pick-ups can attract significant Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) tax rates.
In contrast, fully electric commercial vehicles benefit from exceptionally low BIK percentage bands, putting thousands of pounds back into drivers' pockets each year.
100% First-Year Capital Allowances
Businesses purchasing a brand new electric commercial vehicle can take advantage of first-year capital allowances.
This allows you to write off the entire cost of the vehicle against your pre-tax profits in the very first year, dramatically reducing your corporation tax liability.
Clean Air Zone and ULEZ Exemption
With Clean Air Zones expanding across major UK cities like Birmingham, Bristol, Sheffield, and London, driving an older commercial vehicle can trigger hefty daily charges.
Because the Isuzu D-Max EV produces zero tailpipe emissions, it is completely exempt from London Congestion Charges, ULEZ fees, and Clean Air Zone penalties nationwide.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
Electric drivetrains have fewer moving components than internal combustion engines. With no engine oil to change, no timing belts, no complex exhaust filters, and reduced wear on brake pads thanks to regenerative braking, scheduled servicing costs remain significantly lower over the life of the vehicle.

Tough Off-Road Engineering for UK Terrains
An electric powertrain does not mean gentle handling. The Isuzu D-Max EV is built to conquer the most demanding outdoor environments.
With 210 mm of ground clearance, generous approach and departure angles, and an impressive water wading depth of 600 mm, this vehicle drives through flooded lanes, rocky terrain, and deep ruts with ease.
The integrated Rough Terrain Mode works alongside the electronic all-wheel drive system to brake spinning wheels and redirect power instantly to the wheels with the firmest grip.
Furthermore, the replacement of traditional leaf springs with an advanced De Dion rear suspension layout delivers a smoother, more composed unladen ride while lowering interior cabin noise by up to 10%.
