The 2025 Volkswagen ID Buzz may look a bit like a flower child’s midlife crisis on wheels, but the new electric minivan is a lot more than a Grateful Dead tribute act. The Buzz isn’t rehashing somebody else’s hits,

The ID Buzz is more than a play for nostalgia. It helps VW expand into another, though, shrinking segment. VW expects the vehicle to draw buyers from minivans, crossovers and SUVs.

Fast-charging should be relatively fast, though, peaking at up to 200 kW and with a 26-minute charge time to go from 10 to 80 percent state of charge. And while VW EVs will gain access to the Tesla supercharger network with an adapter, expect 2025 Buzzes to come with CCS1 ports, not native NACS for now.
