An all electric VW van
Volkswagen has announced it will bring back the most iconic vehicle of the 1960s. The VW van will return sometime in the next two years, as the I.D. Buzz. But this time around, it?s not a four-cylinder, water-cooled gas burner. The new van will be an all-electric vehicle driven by batteries. VW says the new all-wheel-drive machine will be able to transport eight passengers and get up to 270 miles of all-battery range. http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-vw-van-returns-20170819-story.html
