Like most people, I\u2019m intrigued by the idea of electric cars but not yet convinced it\u2019s time to make the leap. I can name every Tesla model, a few pickups from Ford and Rivian, and that\u2019s about it. But when Volkswagen announced the production model of the all-electric ID Buzz, which began hitting European roads late last year\u2026 well, suddenly, I was very <\/em>interested.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n See, I\u2019m the guy who spent a week living in a VW Transporter T5 \u201cVentje\u201d<\/a> last year and once rented a vintage Type 2 VW Microbus named \u201cFergus<\/a>\u201d for a summer just to wild camp around Scotland with my family. Generally, I abhor blatant attempts to convert nostalgia into product or ticket sales, but VW had me hooked ever since the ID Buzz was introduced as a far-out concept<\/a>. That is until I learned the unthinkable: the ID Buzz would launch in passenger and cargo variants only \u2014 no \u201cCalifornia\u201d campervan. For that, I\u2019d have to wait until 2025 or longer. Ugh!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
