"Like most people, I’m intrigued by the idea of electric cars but not yet
convinced it’s time to make the leap. I can name every Tesla model, a few
pickups from Ford and Rivian, and that’s about it. But when Volkswagen
announced the production model of the all-electric ID Buzz, which began hitting
European roads late last year… well, suddenly, I was very interested.
See, I’m the guy who spent a week living in a VW Transporter T5 “Ventje” last
year and once rented a vintage Type 2 VW Microbus named “Fergus” for a summer
just to wild camp around Scotland with my family. Generally, I abhor blatant
attempts to convert nostalgia into product or ticket sales, but VW had me
hooked ever since the ID Buzz was introduced as a far-out concept. That is
until I learned the unthinkable: the ID Buzz would launch in passenger and
cargo variants only — no “California” campervan. For that, I’d have to wait
until 2025 or longer. Ugh!
Then a few months ago, I discovered the aftermarket Ququq BusBox-4 camping box.
It converts either the ID Buzz passenger or cargo vans into a two-person camper
— and back — in just minutes. It’s available right now, and at €2,790 (about
$3,000) costs a fraction of the premium the VW ID California will likely
demand.
So, I decided to put the ID Buzz and Ququq to the test to answer two main
questions: can today’s ID Buzz already function as an electric campervan, and
can it support remote work for an extended period of time?"
