The ID. California Cruise is Volkswagen’s first fully electric California camper. Based on the ID. Buzz, the camper van comes with a bed, window blinds, and other camping gear.
It’s real! Volkswagen is finally giving the people what they want — a fully electric, zero-emission camper van.
The ID. California Cruise debuted at Caravan Salon 2026 as Volkswagen’s first all-electric California. It will be the first of a new family of California EVs that VW plans to introduce over the next few years.
Since the ID. Buzz went on sale in 2022, drivers, media, and camping enthusiasts have “repeatedly expressed interest in a California version of the all-electric Bulli,” Volkswagen said.
The ID. California Cruise is Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ “first concrete response,” with the first customer deliveries scheduled for early 2027.
Designed for weekend getaways, camping, and longer road trips, the ID. California Cruise comes with everything needed for an overnight (or a few) stay.
Inside, it offers enough sleeping space for two with a bed that’s 2.03 meters (6.66 ft) long and 1.20 meters (3.93 ft) wide.
The EV camper van also features a newly developed 9 cm thick folding comfort mattress, ventilation grilles on the front side windows, and blackout blinds on all windows.
As an added bonus, Volkswagen is throwing in two camping chairs and a table. The optional panoramic glass roof also includes a matching blackout blind.
” All components can easily be stored in the vehicle.
