VW\u2019s electric Bus reboot is finally arriving in the U.S.. And by design, it\u2019s hard to imagine a better way that VW might have positioned an electric van for the past and the future, all at once.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everybody wants one. Sure, it\u2019s late and it\u2019s been wracked by decades of false starts and concept vehicles, and by now the original Hippies may have ended their traveling days. But across generations, everyone has stories and feels tinges of nostalgia upon seeing the nose of this van and the signature two-tone themes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This past week I drove the ID.Buzz not in San Francisco but on the rural back roads and through the suburban communities of north Georgia. Based on the diversity of questions, gawkers, and thumbs-ups\u2014love from a tattered Tacoma, an Explorer, and a Cybertruck\u2014it took all of 10 minutes to see that mass-market demand for this thing beyond \u201cblue\u201d America and counterculture hotpots is on the verge of boiling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ID.Buzz gets smiles everywhere it goes and hums above the frequency of American EV discord, whether or not it\u2019s electric, which is no small feat this election year. Of course it\u2019s electric, and who cares if it\u2019s electric, all at once.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If VW was fretting about the timing, it made me wonder if the late arrival helps this thing realize its potential\u2014because the ID.Buzz isn\u2019t an awkward, two-dimensional homage to the past.\u00a0<\/p>\n
