I Hired a Volkswagen ID Buzz and I’m driving 1,000 miles. How will it cope? How much will it cost? Is this going to be my next van?
Will I get range anxiety?
Hired from Breeze VW in Poole https://www.breeze.co.uk
I have only driven an ID Buzz for about 30 minutes and I have never charged an electric vehicle. How will I get on with that? How is the charging network?
This is a real test, which could make or break, my idea.

Whether you have a T5, VW T5.1, T6, T6.1 or even an older T2, T2.5, T4, the VW Vanlife scene is amazing, with so much help and assistance available for whatever project you wish to attempt. Panel van, Kombi, Converted Camper or VW California Beach or Ocean, enjoy the freedom van life brings.
The @Staycation Lifestyle van conversion is coming along.
I bought a VW Transporter T6 Kombi Highline van 140bhp diesel SWB with tailgate.
I have lots more to do though, I have a new electrical system, using Victron components and a Lithium LIFEPO4 battery, so I obviously need to install some power devices. I have a new sound system, with Focal speakers and ibus 2.1 amp, Playstation PS4, which will be removable, TV's on headrests.
Lots for me to look forward too and it would be nice to take you on the journey.
Van life is amazing, get out and explore, it's a great adventure.
There are many great camper adventures to come
