ID Buzz

[GrumpyGranddad]

Lot of HARD selling for the ID Buzz. I guess the novelty factor is wearing off somewhat the realities are starting to bite ie range.

An ICE version of the ID Buzz would be good

I think the range is fine.
But I am keeping my eyes peeled for a keenly priced Beach. If I find the right one and spec at the right price, might dump the Buzz order until the LWB Cali version arrives…

Might be time to return to the beach club, but this time it’s getting a lot more modifications.

Guess I've been sucked in by the novelty factor. So I've put my head firmly in a bucket of sand re the realities about owning an ID.Buzz, let alone any EV.
I've been offered over list price by a VW main dealer, order books are full to next Autumn. Should l sell, no. I'll enjoy the novelty factor, and wait until it gets warmer, and it's Cali time again.

Anyone watching/watched The Long Way Up?

Here is a very interesting Buzz range test.
I won’t say how many miles.
Have a watch, comment below…

Went to the Breeze event tonight. Nice but pricey.

Starlight blue in the flesh looks really good.
Was ordering two tone a mistake…?

Looks nice…… as my wife would say “are you asking me, or telling me?” Haha, roughly translated as you know the answer!

2 tone all the way. Gives the buzz a fun, quirky look.

My mum used to say…“well, as long as you like it, that’s the main thing.”

(2 tone is great in the right combo! I have ‘beige on beige’. It was never in fashion & so can never go out of fashion!)

We fixed the Ozone layer issue some time ago, the world cooperated to fix the issue we caused.
unfortunately we have not fixed the other Pollution issues including future EV proliferation in the name of green credentials.
enjoy your RS

Nice choice. A sportback RS3 would look great on my driveway.

You’ll love the RS3. I miss mine.

It will be interesting to see if the IDBuzz camper has a regular EHU connection as well as the high power type found on EV’s.
VW claim 15mins to 80% on a 150kw charger
With maybe 2kw possible from EHU simple logic would mean the same 80% taking 75 times longer (about 18 hours) at 2kw. In the context of arriving at a site to park up for a couple of days that’s not too bad.
Wild camping would just mean stopping for a coffee & charge before you leave civilisation for a few days.

The faster the charger the more one is charged per kWh. Or many 150kWh chargers about, well not many fast chargers about full stop. I have seen 89p for a 50kWh so maybe a £1. Easy to do the sums to see that is more expensive than fossil fuels at todays prices.

Apparently VW have over 1600 orders.
They estimate they can only bring 550 Buzzes to the UK per year. These are gonna be well flip-able.
If that’s even a word.
Might be worth keeping an order in

Charged a few weeks ago at a Tesla supercharger at Rugby services 43 kWh + £0.46/kWh.

Even cheaper when charging at home on off peak tariff or solar.

EVs can’t come fast enough in my opinion.
I walked home from the school run on Thursday. It’s an only 1.5miles. But my clothes stunk of car fumes. There was a lot of congestion that day because of road works, but it highlighted how we need to change our current habits.
Let’s be honest, transportation costs are to low…It’s time real action happened and the cost of derv etc was really punished.
