Jack heads to Denmark to test the production version of VW's long-awaited electric Bulli: the ID. Buzz. To the untrained eye, it may just look like a funky van but the Buzz is much more than that: it's the most versatile EV you can buy right now and, more importantly, the cure for the sea of bloated, poorly packaged SUV that clog up our streets. Check out the video to find out why!

Come and see us at Fully Charged LIVE in San Diego this September!

    Removable console is because removing it lets you get in the front seat from the back without exiting, which is nice if your tiny van is a tiny camper.
  • @JazonHart
    This is off topic for sure… but man, this video just looks incredible. The shots, the cuts, the grading. Wow.
  • @OnEdEcKhk
    The combo of the top host and video production really makes this a joy to watch. Better than anything on tv.
  • For roadtripping and outdoor usage a solar roof would be a nice addition. I don't want to own a car but having more and more options that eventually end up in car-sharing programs is just great!
  • @Zeem4
    This seems to have all the things I like about my Renault Grand Scénic. Then again, I paid £500 for that, so I think this one is a bit out of my price range.
  • I think the reason you can remove the storage unit between the two front seats is so you can flatten down all the other seats and store really long oversized things like surfboards or pipes or wood boards or lumber and such. Or as someone else pointed out, it allows the passenger seat person to go to the back of the van in case it gets converted to a camper or if you're sleeping in the van or if you have kids in the back seats.
  • @doktordok7517
    Fully agree, phisical buttons are a must! Especially on the stirring wheel.
  • @alaneddy4575
    On the subject of efficiency, it would be great to see that big flat roof covered in lightweight solar panels.
  • @turbogeek.421
    The rear windows not opening at all is a massive own goal by VW in my opinion.
  • @AeromatterYT
    Hoping this sets a design "standard" for EV minibuses that trickles down to the cheaper brands, same as the original
  • @TomTom-cm2oq
    Great episode; you guys have an awesome drone pilot. Well done!
  • Testing an automated parking system next to a body of water exhibits sheer courage. Nice job.
  • @VampiricHoshi
    As has been said, the centre console can be removed so you access the rear from the front. Incredibly useful when parking in tight spaces, which are oh so common in the UK, allowing the driver to take advantage of the rear sliding door. Honestly if I had a buzz I'd never have that centre console installed.
  • @SiqueScarface
    3:40 I am a reverse-parker. I always reverse into parking lots, because it makes it much easier to get in. No rear getting close to the neighboring car. And it makes it even more easy to get out later - no long blind reverse out of tight spaces. For me, a badge covered charger is the worst possible placement.
  • Great vid. I must say I love the useful information graphics popping up at the bottom of the screen. And thanks for including wh/km as well ❤
  • Well produced video! Removable console is to allow through passage to rear seats. I laughed at your criticism of the location of the charge port Jack :) You should always reverse into a parking bay so that you can drive out - so much safer. Plus...cars have a tighter turning circle in reverse than they do going forwards (go on, try it :) so easier to get into a bay in a car park in the first place. I think I'll buy one of these to replace my 110 Defender
  • @pfeifferarmin
    The ID. Buzz seems like the perfectly designed defibrillator to keep the VW Bulli cult electrically alive. I'd love to check one out.
  • @billyray323
    It's a rear charging connection because it's safer in a parking area, to reverse in & then your able to see more when you exit the space ! Absolutely crazy price, what are they thinking ?
  • @mrlintonious
    The Removable console should have some batteries in them and a Speaker. Can have two uses. While traveling/riding, it should be a Cooller Box, keeping ones favorite beverage nice and cold. When parked up, take the console with you to the beach, picnic park, to have as a Cooler box still, and then act as a Bluetooth Speaker. Once done, place back into car, it will recharge, and then be added to the exisitng audio as additional speaker as you head on home.
  • I was wondering where Jack Scarlett disappeared from youtube. Haven’t watched Fully Charged for a while now, so didn’t know you were here. Nice to see you here my friend, your reviews are always amusing. ❤
