The benefits of going electric
JCB’s sustainability engineering doesn’t just focus on environmental impact – it ensures that you get the same power and digging capabilities, without the emissions.
With powerful Lithium-Ion technology in both the 19C-1E and 8008E, you can power a full shift on a single charge – without compromising on performance. And with our universal fast charger, you can charge machines within as little as 2.5 hours, keeping your operations running smoothly, even during the most demanding workloads.
When it comes to the 19C-1E, you can choose between a standard range or long-range battery variant – giving you even more control over when and where you work. We’re proud of the introduction of the 3 battery, a major step in the usability and uptime of JCB’s electric machines.

Zero emissions, maximum impact
The E-Tech range delivers the same quality, reliability and power you’ve come to expect from all our JCB machinery – and will always help you deliver peak performance. All the benefits of an electric excavator that’s mini make it an essential tool for contractors aiming to meet sustainability targets or public sector carbon mandates.
Because our E-TECH range offers zero emissions of CO2, Nox and particulates at point of use, investing in a JCB electric mini excavator will reduce your harmful emissions and lessen the environmental impact of your projects.
There are no engines in the JCB electric range, which means significantly reduced noise levels. This also means you’ll be able to work in enclosed spaces, noise-sensitive environments and areas where air quality is sensitive, such as hospitals, schools, and city centres.
Lower costs, smarter choice
Wondering how to lower operating costs? A JCB mini electric excavator might be the answer. Choosing an E-TECH machine means less servicing, less maintenance and overall lower operating cost – giving you a significant savings.
The batteries are maintenance-free, and require minimal daily checks and servicing. And, with its 100% steel bodywork and long-lasting components, JCB E-TECH machines have been built with durability and minimal downtime in mind. Investing in electric machinery helps operators futureproof their fleets – without having to overspend.
