ANOTHER electric VW campervan gets THE GREEN LIGHT

 

volkswagen has indirectly revealed plans to produce an all-electric campervan called the ‘ID. california’. the news came following a supervisory board meeting in which the company announced the electrification of its european plants. the new electric camper, which is to launch in the second half of this decade, will be produced in VW’s hanover plant.

no details of the ID. california have been released yet but we do know it will be based on the ID. BUZZ (pictured here), an electric van that volkswagen first unveiled at NAIAS 2017. the ID.BUZZ combines nostalgic design cues from the iconic VW campervan with innovative electric technology — specs reportedly include up to 342 miles of range and battery packs as big as 111 kWh. the final ID.BUZZ campervan is expected to be unveiled in 2022, which should give us a better idea of what the ID. california will look like.

 

these new all-electric vehicles mark part of volkswagen’s ‘electric era‘ and the company’s goal of becoming the global market leader in electric mobility. ‘the resolutions passed today show how resolutely we are driving forward the transformation of the volkswagen group,’ said hans dieter pötsch, chairman of the supervisory board of volkswagen AG.
