  • That range is very similar to what I get from our 58kwh ID3 at similar speed and conditions. Definitely good enough.
  • Listening Tool during a roadtrip, this man knows it's cars ánd music!
  • @oji-chan
    Love the video, short concise and to the point. Look forward to your future videos!
  • Like the extra info on the dash. Hope to get OTA for that soon!
  • Interesting video, it would be great to do a run with luggage and passengers, although I have noticed with my Fiat 500e that with two of us and luggage for a weeks holiday it made no difference to range. My thoughts are that what you loose up hill you gain going down. Bjorn Nyland did a test with bottles of windscreen washer fluid and found very little difference in a Kia Soul.
  • @yvs6663
    i would call that useful range at a decent compromise when it comes to speed. the consumption isn't small but that is understandable since its a van(they don't exactly get stellar consumption even with a diesel model).
  • @nakfan
    Thanks for the ride 👍It must be great sitting higher than an ordinary car or even an SÜV.
  • The best band in the world. Also a great album. 🤘🏼😤🤘🏼
  • @Progwale
    HIHI hörst ja auch TOOL <3 Nice Vid - trying to win one via Ritter-Sport lol xD
  • I've liked the look of the VW Buzz since it was launched although I don't think it would fit in my garage quite as well as my Fiat 500e!
  • @Lascarnn
    I really don't think nearly 300 km in winter is bad. Great car IMHO
  • Thank you for this interesting test with the good range result under those conditions. My Cargo can do even a bit better because it’s lighter and I’m driving with allweather tires.
  • @failure232
    I think it will be useful to add start battery temp
  • @gunterrr2302
    I loved the Buzz until I saw the price. Sorry but this is way too expensive for what it delivers, also considering how limited the range is.
  • @jordskates
    This was a very insightful video and these are the speeds I travel at so I found it very useful. I really want an electric car for many different reasons, however the main reason has always been for cheaper fuel. I'm from the UK and my energy company charge me £0.34 per kwh (for me it also isn't any cheaper at night), so this would cost me £26.18 to travel 180 miles. Whereas my 2004 diesel VW touran would get me over 200 miles for the same cost. I think a lot of current electric cars are great for driving around cities where they are much more efficient at lower speeds but as much as I really want an electric car (especially the new ID 2!) I really want to see companies advance there batteries like Tesla, or even like Dyson tried to with solid state packs
  • @victorfrombcn
    Hey man, have you thought about doing a range test for the i4 eDrive35? AFAIK no one else has done it before. Looking forward to it…
  • Bravo, Chris. Hm, do you think your pups would like the Buzz? Nice and airy cabin.
  • @onlineo2263
    Nice test. For the price of the Buzz I need a much larger range at 70mph. I like the Buzz, I nearly ordered it until I found out everything is an optional extra such as it only comes with a 10inch screen and you have to pay extra for the 12 inch screen. If the Buzz was £50k with massage seats, 2 tone paint, 12 inch screen then I would have got one regardless of the poor range... But buying a vehicle for more than £50k that doesn't have access to the supercharger network is rather stupid in the UK.
