Description:
In this video I take the Volkswagen ID.Buzz Long Wheelbase (RWD) to its top speed of 160 km/h on the German Autobahn.
How does this giant EV handle at high speeds?
How bad is the consumption?
And how far can you actually drive at 160 km/h with the 86 kWh battery?
I charged to 80%, drove 40 km to the highway and pushed the ID.Buzz to its limit — in the rain, on wet roads, with winter tires. Here are the real-world results.
