Volkswagen ID. Buzz
The ID. Buzz draws inspiration from the classic Type 2 a.k.a. Bus, offering a host of modern touches and electric powertrain. While smaller on the outside than most minivans, the interior is actually just as, if not more, spacious. First Edition models can accommodate six or seven passengers. Based on the MEB platform, the ID. Buzz features a 91kWh battery, giving it a range of 377 km (rear-wheel drive) or 372 km (all-wheel drive). Prices are too high to qualify for EV incentives.
