Volkswagen updates Grand California: lithium batteries and solar panels for off-grid camping

Volkswagen has upgraded its largest campers, the Grand California 600 and 680, offering optional LiFePO batteries and an off-grid package with integrated solar panels. Usable battery capacity rises by nearly 40% (from 46 Ah to 64 Ah), and lifespan is about five times that of a standard AGM battery. The off-grid package costs €1,720 for the 600 and €2,326 for the 680 in Germany, while the base price of the camper itself starts at over €100,000.
