VW Microbus reworked - Surf's up




the fully-electric microbus debuted at a Detroit auto show in early 2017 is officially going in to production

And their new electric Buzz Cargo Van



The I.D. Buzz Cargo is built on Volkswagen's Modular Electric Drive Kit platform, and with the largest available battery in place, it should offer a range of just under 350 miles of driving, making it a practical replacement for internal combustion-powered work vans. An optional rooftop solar panel can extend that by an additional 9 miles.
