Volkswagen has an idea for a new concept car that — take a deep breath — has nothing to do with the coronavirus pandemic.
On Tuesday, the German company unveiled its very electric idea for its next generation of microbuses: The e-BULLI, a converted 1966 T1 Samba Bus, is fully electric, but delightfully retro. This particular converted model was built in Hannover, Germany and in a previous life would cruise along the roads of California. Now, it can go 124 miles on a single charge with its 45 kWh-lithium ion battery. (Behind the bus' back license plate you'll find the charging port.)
The T1(also known as a Type 1) bus' innards look very different from its '60s glory days, as its interior is fairly modern with wood floors and a new paint job. The eight-seater has a digital display (with information about range, important for an electric vehicle), but still maintains plenty of its analog vibes. It might seem like a simple retro radio in the front, but there's a hefty dose of tech packed in with Bluetooth and USB connectivity. You can even connect the car to a Volkswagen mobile app. Read more...
