Volkswagen confirms an ID. California 100% electric based on ID. Buzz

The very famous California camper van signed Volkswagen will be offered in a 100% electric version from 2025. The ID. California will be based on the ID. Buzz, whose cargo version will first roll off production lines in 2022.

It was thought that the case had been recorded a long time ago. In fact, not at all… The Volkswagen board of directors has just given the green light to the production of a 100% electric motorhome. This decision follows strong demand from many countries interested in the famous California motorhome. With orders having risen sharply, Volkswagen management decided to make the necessary investments for an electric California based on the ID. Buzz.

Production of the new 21st century version of the combi will begin in 2022 with the cargo model. On the other hand, this ID. California won’t hit the road until 2025.

Not much is known about the spec sheet. It is assumed that the ID. California will take advantage of the ID’s 111 kWh battery. Buzz, but also the famous retractable roof, a distinctive sign of the California which allows you to stand up and provide additional sleeping. Thanks to the flat floor, the ID. California will undoubtedly be crammed with clever storage.

Just like the ID. Buzz, the new Multivan T7 and the Transporter T6.1, the ID. California will benefit from the new assembly line at the Hanover plant, which will come into service in 2025.

Originally, this line was intended for the manufacture of high-end electric vehicles for Porsche and Audi. Porsche ultimately decided otherwise and refused to produce its electric vehicles at the plant in question. Despite everything, Hanover is destined to be “A multi-brand and high-tech site”says Carsten Intra, CEO of VW Commercial Vehicles and chairman of the brand’s board of directors.
