Description:
Can the Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX Long Wheelbase handle a 600 km motorway journey at 130 km/h (81 mph)? Today I'm putting the AWD electric van to the test in extreme summer temperatures, driving almost exclusively on the highway while following a route planned with A Better Routeplanner.
This test reveals how high temperatures affect charging performance, motorway efficiency, comfort, driver assistance and whether the ID. Buzz GTX is a practical long-distance EV.
