Overall Performance

Interior

Live out your dreams of being a beach bum or take a fun road trip and feel comfortable in the VW ID Buzz. Both the seats in the front have built-in tables on the back that fold flat and armrests that adjust.

In addition to the front seat, the bus has two other rows of seating to hold up to seven people. You also get an infotainment touchscreen that works with your favorite apps and gives you control over your settings. All the back seats fold down to give you more cargo or sleeping space.

Charging

There are many charging stations near Lanesborough, MA, that you can use when you bring home the ID Buzz. Though the European version of this electric bus comes with a 77kWh battery, the one released in the United States features a larger battery.

Volkswagen also says it can reach an 80% charge in an hour or less, even if the battery is dead.
