Thanks for sharing would have loved to see the passenger seating and interior. They really did a good job on paying homage to a classic VW design while creating it's own uniquely modern look.
£62,000 plus the conversion cost! You would have to be an avid VW fanboy to pay that much. With the current recession I doubt many will be making the switch to this electric van.
There's no shortage of buyers for Teslas, so, with its gorgeous retro looks, I think VW will have a hit on its hands. EV campervans aren't going to be cheap, though - at least £85k, probably for an ID Buzz conversion but there are more expensive diesel T6.1 Transporters...
@@MotorhomeCampervan Tesla already has surplus unsold cars and that is before the recession bites. Plenty of dealers pointing out that the caravan/ campervan market boom has ended. “Investors Fret as Tesla Stacks Up Unsold Cars”
I can't work out why reviewers keep comparing this to a Transporter when it's clearly more similar in size to the longer Caddy. It's a small van, not a medium one.
Yes, but, in the camper market, it's the T6.1 that matters, not the Caddy. With the ID Buzz echoing the styling of classic campers, folk will want camper versions. Even VW has confirmed a California version.
The design of the Buzz is certainly growing me - initially, I judged it a little bottom-heavy (like Barbapapa or a Weeble) - though I think we'll have to wait for the LWB version before we have a viable base for a camper.
It's certainly got the look. Once the converters put all the kit in it there won't be much payload left? The extra weight will depleat the range as well. Hope they can make a success of it as a camper, it'll sell well in basic form anyway.
I'd be more concerned about payload than depleted range. It's only going to be a basic two-berth unless they can improve the former. But the LWB 7-seater will need more payload, so maybe VW still has some answers.
Nice one Peter, not the best of days for filming but for the first time an EV has turned my head, but the price is frightening. I would expect at today's prices a Cali version would be well north of 100k. Cheers K.
Karlos, I am just going to reach into my left pocket and pull out £60,000 for the VW, then reach in the right pocket pay a conversion to motor-home, road tax, insurance, MOT. Buy a house with a large long back garden, to put a solar array to charge a large scale battery array, then find out that in UK there is no sunlight 98% of the time, after spending a million pounds. But the EV does look good, despite being too small to convert to a motor-home.
I wonder what the Cali will look like? I hope it's more camper than the Caddy California. If it's more like a shrunken T6.1 Cali, it's sure to be close to £100k - maybe more with all the toys. That will cut out a lot of buyers.
12.50 Switches and buttons every time for me. Try using a touch screen with wet hands, gloves or if you have a plaster on you finger. How much does its range reduce if you want to camp off grid in the depths of winter in below freezing conditions? Not for me I’m afraid, especially with increased electricity prices for charging.
Peter Vaughan is the best for motorhome. As a Cargo or passenger, too small, 250 miles is not great when there is zero weight. My Vauxhall Vivaro cost 10% of that ID Buzz. The kitchen took all of my strength to fit, the storage took 2 people to lift in, then the Rock,n,Roll bed took 2 people to carry in. I'm sorry but that will drive 100 miles on that load, but cannot fit it.
Having tried Wheelhome's electric Vikenze III-e, I don't think the conversion will have a huge effect on range - I was able to beat Vauxhall's claim for the base vehicle with the converted camper. However, cost and payload are issues.
Hey guys, what do you think of a classic vw bus with an emission-free drive? Really appreciate the opinions on that. All the best from Rostock in Germany. :)
Not sure. Classic vehicles usually cover a very low annual mileage and the impact on the environment happened long ago. Classic cars have been shown to have a lower CO2 output per annum than a laptop... So, why convert?
You have to drive 50,000 miles before EVs overtake petrols in terms of the environmental damage. Because manufacturing and shipping the battery components is go intensive. Hire a classic.
I asked VW and they say "it comes as standard factory fit so from our perspective it wouldn’t be removed - however, I imagine as per most bulk heads, converters would probably be able to remove it."
Beautiful but the range is too short. They should have made the range longer like above 300 miles. For its size, VW could have increased the battery size to increase the range. The longer the range the less time is spent charging the vehicle, especially during road trips.
@@MotorhomeCampervan, I don’t really mind using a key, but an electric vehicle doesn’t have an engine to start or stop, it’s got a motor. They could have just left out the ENGINE part and they could use it for all types of cars.
@@travelling_stephen I am sure there is no way that diesel will be stopped. How will lorries and vans carry cargo, when every 50 miles you stop for a 4 hour charge?
It will be interesting to see this in a camper version. It will be competition for the Nissan ev van that Sussex camper van conversions use. I hope I got their name correct.
Nissan have stopped selling the e-NV200 van here, so it's probably ID Buzz or electric Vauxhall Vivaro/Citroën Dispatch etc for the time being if you want an EV camper
They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I'm sorry but this beholder thinks that it looks ugly and nothing at all like the original T1 or T2. Add to that the fact that it is horrendously expensive as a base vehicle, will probably have another £25,000 conversion costs added and be full of compromises (who wants to be hauling seats about last thing at night and first thing in the morning to make/unmake the bed or use a porta potti in the kitchen). Then, although it is not VW's fault, to add insult to injury the government is going to be charge VED on electric vehicles from 2025. I'm glad that you mentioned a few of the downsides of touch screens. I'm amazed that vehicles that are so dependent on them are legal because they are as distracting as playing with a mobile phone while driving and nowhere near as safe as well positioned, dedicated buttons and switches. Im sure that the underlying vehicle is top quality but the rest of the concept seems to have been thrown together to make something "different" because they can, not because it's better.
All the motor manufacturers have been forced to go down the EV route, causing huge change in a short time period - at least ID Buzz has some personality, unlike most EV blobs. And, as far the idiocy of touchscreens to control air-con, etc, please don't get me started - I could rant for hours...
295 miles range lol. That is city driving in the summer. The really important figure is motorway range real world and that is145 miles in the winter and 180 miles in the summer, battery full to empty, which you can't do because you risk being stranded at a none working rapid charger. You need to retain at least 15 miles reserve and that now brings the range down to 130 miles to 165 miles. As for the van itself it is built on an id3 platform, a car and that is why the van is so small. As for the price £57000 odd and you don't even get two tone paint for that on the base life model taking it over £60k. So in summary, if you want a very small, short range and exorbitantly priced van, the id buzz is the van for you. As well as this' battery life channel ' has had an id3 for two years and the battery capacity and range has dropped by 10% in 2 years, like sand in an hour glass. Sorry my van is much bigger, diesel, much much cheaper and has a range of over 600 miles and always will and can be refuelled to full in 5 minutes, just what is required to make a real world useable camper van that can be used in the most remote parts of the country, if required.
I agree with much of what you say - I won't be changing my diesel T6 any time soon. BUT look at the number of Teslas sold - some folk want to go electric now and this is the best option for campervans yet.
Rather than a dewy eyed "isn't it all so wonderful review" (because its a VW), at least some comment on what isn't so good for some balance. 21 inch wheels with rubber band tyres. Does it have a spare for the inevitable puncture? Touchscreen for all controls is always a faff stuck on dash screens should be confined to history, get them incorporated into the dash.

So long as your campsite / destination is within 75 miles of your home you’ll be fine 🙄 you might just make it back before it runs out of energy. So that trip to Devon/Cornwall ain’t happening because all the public highway chargers are broken, over subscribed or just generally very expensive. Mind you if you’re going to lay down 70k on one of these or even lease one, you’ve got more money than sense. Hire one if you want to try it. No point having a camper sat on your drive for 50 weeks of the year doing nothing.
Or drive 150 miles and recharge on your campsite, if you want to avoid the public charging network? As for having a camper on your drive 50 weeks of the year doing nothing - why? Our (VW T6) camper is the best family car we've ever had, is in use for commuting, shopping, etc, every week (virtually every day) and used for many, many cheap weekends away, not just our summer hols. Plus its depreciation is glacial compared with an SUV.
EV's are definitely the future. I drive a Nissan LEAF and it has been totally reliable 100% of the time. It only has a 30kwh battery and a maximum range of 140 miles round town, but for me, that is plenty. I would like to see the Maxus deliver 3 & 9 get a good conversion kit. Cheaper, bigger batteries and more spacious than the Buzz, so it would be a proper camper, not just a day vehicle. Everything in it would have to be electric, so no gas at all for cooking or heating. Stick some big solar panels on top, along with your hook up for infinite on site power, or good wild camping ability.

The cult of VW campers has to be one of biggest cons in the automotive world .

It was raining and he was stuck inside his tiny ittle box on wheels (that cost him over £150 K !!!!! )looking miseerable 😂😂😂
All depends what you want. My VW T6 is a great daily driver and weekend camper, plus 2 weeks in the summer with the kids. I wouldn't swap it for something bigger that wouldn't fit where we want to go. And Californias start at under £80k and can't reach anywhere near £150k even if you tick every option.
