Volkswagen has introduced the ID.Buzz California Cruise, an electric camper based on the ID.Buzz van. The company previously said there was no demand for such a model, but has now released a simplified version without a full kitchen or pop-up roof. It features a double bed measuring 2.03 meters long and 1.20 meters wide, plus a California mode for controlling lighting, USB ports, and climate. Vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability provides up to 2 kW continuous and 3.6 kW peak power for external devices. The price in Germany starts at just over 60,000 euros, and Volkswagen plans to present more fully electric California models by the end of 2028.
