Electric Minibus: battery and autonomy
The ID. Buzz will be built in Hanover, Germany. The electric Westfalia should offer –according to available information to date-, an 80 to 111 kWh battery, which can be recharged up to 80% in approximately thirty minutes.
Moreover, the ID.Buzz will have more or less 400 kilometers of range, making it one of the most interesting models when it comes to capacity. It will also be possible to opt for a rear-wheel drive version with 201 horsepower, or an all-wheel drive model with a total of 295 horsepower, according to the latest available information.
According to our sources, it could also come with an automated driving system, which will make it the very first Volkswagen vehicle to be integrating this type of technology. For the time being, this rumour only applies to the European market.
Further information on equipment and other available versions will be communicated closer to the vehicle's Canadian launch at the end of 2024.
