Volkswagen unveiled the first electric version of its California camper series.

It's based on the ID. Buzz van and is going on sale in Europe in both short and long wheelbase options.

Americans don't have to wait too long for their own version: the 2027 ID. Buzz Tourer.

When InsideEVs Editor-in-Chief Mack Hogan reviewed the Volkswagen ID. Buzz a while back, he came away feeling like the van could've been so much more. It didn't lean into that spirit of adventure that the old-school VW bus was known for, and after years of hype it wound up feeling like a differently shaped ID.4. Add in the fact that the ID. Buzz is a little pricey for the 234 miles of range, and it's always felt like this stylish van was a couple of changes short of greatness.

Maybe VW got the message. This week it unveiled a camper van version of the Buzz for Europe called the ID. California Cruise. And a similar concept for the U.S. isn't far behind.
