It's taken more than half a century, and several redesigns, but Volkswagen has finally come up with a replacement for one of its most iconic and beloved 'cars': the 1950 Type 2 van. Some called it the VW Camper, others the Microbus, or just the Bus for short. It was made famous as an iconic part of the 'hippy' counter culture of the 1960s and 70. VW has promised a brand-new version as many as four times in the last two decades; but now it's finally building one - and it's all-electric. The VW ID Buzz will come to the UK market in autumn 2022 - and we've already driven it (read our drive review here: It'll launch in standard-wheelbase form and, as a passenger vehicle it'll seat up to five occupants and be priced from somewhere above -50, 000. A longer-wheelbase version, a twin-motor four-wheel drive version, a Camper version and a GTX performance derivative are all likely to come later. Matt Saunders took to UK roads for an hour in a late-series prototype ID Buzz Cargo commercial version to get a taste of what the zero-emissions 'lifestyle' van of the future will be like to drive

Since VW created the Electrify America charging network, I-d pass on buying anything VW. The electrify America chargers are some of the most unreliable chargers there are. They-re complicated to start, then it-s a dice roll if they will actually provide power. In many cases, other EV owners ahead of you will point which chargers work and which don-t. If VW couldn-t launch a properly working charging network, imagine the actual vehicle.

I really like it, but let's be realistic, you cannot do a long journey in a reasonable amount of time with that range. I live in Texas and this simply wouldn't work given the types of distances we drive here. Even in California this would be a struggle range wise unless you were willing to really compromise.

Electric cars need a real world range of AT LEAST 300 miles, while loaded with 4 people and luggage, or its just not realistic to use without having a petrol car also. bring on the bio fuels Porsche!

So far, I cannot see how it's differentiated enough from the regular Transporter. Why not just do a Transporter EV? Any similarities to the old bus are smoke and mirrors because of safety regulations

They could have sooo easily slotted a massive battery in this (and reduced the space in the back by like 4 inches (who-d care about that) and had like 350 - 400 miles range. 250 claimed isn-t enough.

This launch could not be more boring. Van life is all about the packaging. The Ebussy shows how to do this properly with lots of imaginative variants. For the same price as a Model 3 LR? NOPE

I thing they went way to safe on the design. Thats my problem with the VW over the past few years, boring, more than they used to be. The Koreans are more adventurous with designs.

Think VW might be onto a a winner here, shape wise it-s different looking enough compared to its rivals, and it has genuine History an iconic Vehicle to many.

Eee I were sat there sittin listening to you make excuses why this has any connection at all to a type 2 when it is obviously a VW transporter-. what a shill
reply

I quite like it honestly, idk what people expected it to look like. I always imagined it'd end up looking like the new Multivan
