Buzz eindelijk een in de fabriek gebouwde elektrische camper. Op de Caravan Salon in D\u00fcsseldorf, later deze maand, zal Volkswagen Bedrijfswagens de ID. California Cruise onthullen.\u00a0Dit concept biedt niet alleen een voorproefje van \u00e9\u00e9n model, maar van een nieuwe serie volledig elektrische California-campers die geleidelijk aan tot 2028 op de markt zullen worden gebracht.<\/p>\n<p>In zekere zin is het grootste nieuws dat het project \u00fcberhaupt nog bestaat. Toen het elektrische busje in retrostijl op de markt kwam, leek een ID. Buzz California bijna onvermijdelijk, maar Volkswagen heeft het idee vervolgens op de lange baan geschoven.<\/p>\n<p>In een rapport uit 2023 werd gesuggereerd dat een volledig uitgeruste camper, volgeladen met passagiers en bagage, meer dan 3,5 ton zou kunnen wegen. In 2024 bagatelliseerde Lars Krause, verkoopdirecteur van VW Bedrijfsvoertuigen, het technische probleem en wees hij op een ander obstakel: de markt voor een dure elektrische camper was simpelweg nog niet groot genoeg. Twee jaar later is Volkswagen er duidelijk van overtuigd dat er iets is veranderd.<\/p>\n<h4>De kwestie van het gewicht<\/h4>\n<p>VW houdt vrijwel alle belangrijke details geheim tot de premi\u00e8re in D\u00fcsseldorf, die plaatsvindt van 28 augustus tot en met 6 september. Er zijn nog geen offici\u00eble cijfers bekend over de accucapaciteit, het rijbereik, het gewicht, het laadvermogen, de slaapmogelijkheden of de prijs. Volkswagen omschrijft de ID. California Cruise momenteel als een conceptmodel op basis van de ID. Buzz.<\/p>\n<p>Daardoor is het gewicht misschien wel het meest interessante cijfer om in de gaten te houden. In Belgi\u00eb geldt voor een gewoon rijbewijs van categorie B nog steeds een maximumgewicht van 3.500 kg.<\/p>\n<p>In Nederland zijn bepaalde campers met alternatieve aandrijving met een gewicht tot 4.250 kg onder specifieke voorwaarden al toegestaan voor houders van een B-rijbewijs, maar alleen binnen de landsgrenzen. Voor een in Californi\u00eb ontworpen camper waarmee door Europa wordt gereisd, blijft het onder controle houden van het gewicht veel meer dan alleen een theoretische kwestie.<\/p>\n<p>Interessant is dat VW in D\u00fcsseldorf ook uiterst lichte kampeeruitrusting zal presenteren, die samen met Stuff Bubble is ontwikkeld. Een opblaasbare keuken weegt minder dan 10 kg, terwijl een tweepersoonsbed slechts 12 kg weegt.<\/p>\n<p>Deze modules zijn echter officieel bedoeld voor de California Beach en staan los van de ID. California Cruise. Ze mogen, in tegenstelling tot wat in sommige berichten wordt gesuggereerd, niet automatisch worden beschouwd als onderdeel van de elektrische camper.<\/p>\n<h4>Tot 496 km voordat de camper wordt aangekoppeld<\/h4>\n<p>Het voor de hand liggende technische uitgangspunt is de ID. Buzz met lange wielbasis. In Nederland combineert de huidige Pro-uitvoering met 286 hp een accu van 86 kWh met een WLTP-actieradius tot 496 km en een DC-laadvermogen van 200 kW.<\/p>\n<p>De prijs begint bij \u20ac 54.890. Zodra er kasten, bedden, water, kampeeruitrusting en misschien een hefdak worden toegevoegd, zullen zowel het laadvermogen als de actieradius onvermijdelijk afnemen.<\/p>\n<p>De prijs zou wel eens de andere uitdaging kunnen worden. De Nederlandse ombouwer Vantrack biedt zijn Kia PV5 LightCamp aan vanaf \u20ac 65.000, hoewel een versie met de handige 71,2 kWh-accu van Kia en een WLTP-actieradius van 412 km realistisch gezien waarschijnlijk rond de \u20ac 69.000 zal liggen. Er is slaapruimte voor vier personen, maar er is geen vaste keuken, gootsteen en sta-ruimte.<\/p>\n<p>Meer uitgebreide elektrische campers zijn aanzienlijk duurder. De ID. Buzz-ombouw van Outbase is verkrijgbaar vanaf \u20ac 84.490, terwijl de Nederlandse eVentje ongeveer \u20ac 95.000 kost.<\/p>\n<p>Een fabrieksmodel uit Californi\u00eb met een hefdak, een volwaardige keuken, een watersysteem, vier slaapplaatsen en volledige Volkswagen-integratie zou daarom gemakkelijk ergens tussen de \u20ac 85.000 en \u20ac 100.000 kunnen kosten. Dat is een schatting, geen prijs van Volkswagen.<\/p>\n<h4>Bijna 8.000 Californi\u00ebrs in Nederland<\/h4>\n<p>VW heeft in ieder geval een klantenkring die uitkijkt naar een elektrische opvolger. Uit Nederlandse registratiegegevens blijkt dat er momenteel 7.796 Volkswagen California\u2019s op de weg rijden, waarmee dit het op twee na meest voorkomende campermodel van het land is.<\/p>\n<p>Ze maken 3,7% uit van het Nederlandse camperpark, dat meer dan 210.000 voertuigen telt. Het is veelzeggend dat 98% van die California\u2019s dieselmodellen zijn en dat er nog geen enkele als volledig elektrisch is geclassificeerd.<\/p>\n<p>Statistieken over het wagenpark op modelniveau in Belgi\u00eb zijn minder toegankelijk, maar Traxio telde in 2024 83.227 campers in Belgi\u00eb en stelde vast dat de California het populairste individuele campermodel van het land was.<\/p>\n<p>Onafhankelijke ombouwers hebben de afgelopen jaren dan ook aangetoond wat Volkswagen zelf ooit in twijfel trok: mensen zijn bereid om te experimenteren met het leven in een elektrische bestelwagen. Ook de Kia PV5 verlaagt nu de instapprijs.<\/p>\n<p>De ID. California Cruise biedt Volkswagen de kans om terug te slaan met iets wat ombouwers niet zomaar kunnen evenaren: een volledig in de fabriek gebouwde camper, ondersteund door het dealer- en garantienetwerk van Volkswagen en met misschien wel de sterkste naam in de geschiedenis van de Europese campers.<\/p>\n<p>Maar D\u00fcsseldorf moet een antwoord geven op de vraag die het project de eerste keer tot stilstand bracht: hoeveel van Californi\u00eb kan Volkswagen in een ID. Buzz stoppen voordat de elektrische droom te zwaar wordt?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volkswagen is finally turning the ID. Buzz into a factory-built electric camper.
