For Volkswagen to take one of history‘s most beloved vehicles – the VW Microbus – and reinvent it for the electric era…well, what EV lover wouldn‘t get excited about that? As we await the ID.

There‘s seating for up to 7, over 300 miles of range, DC fast charging, and all the latest tech goodies we expect in an EV. Ambient lighting, sustainable materials, and smart features round out a highly functional, eco-conscious package. Oh, and hitting 60 mph in under 6 seconds in the AWD model means this icon can scamper!
Domestic Manufacturing Could Unlock Savings
VW hasn‘t confirmed US assembly for the ID. Buzz yet, but localized production brought battery cost and supply chain benefits for the ID.4. If the Buzz follows suit, qualifying for the full $7,500 tax credit is likely.
