Volkswagen’s ID Buzz has always been a symbol of innovation and nostalgia combined. Now, with the introduction of the eVentje custom camper build-out, this electric microbus has taken on a whole new level of charm and practicality. As a tech journalist with a passion for exploring the latest advancements in the automotive industry, I had the opportunity to experience the eVentje firsthand and can attest to its clever design and functionality.
The eVentje camper conversion, created by Ventje, a company based in the Netherlands, offers a perfect blend of form and function. With over 100 magnets keeping the wooden surfaces in place, the interior design is both adaptive and secure. From the kitchen area accessible from inside and out to the pop-top tent and versatile lounge-to-bed transformation, every detail has been carefully considered. One standout addition to the eVentje is the folding table and hidden stools that elegantly transform the space into an outdoor bar, adding a touch of luxury to the camping experience.
One of the key improvements in the eVentje camper is the kitchen area, which now features more adaptable prep surfaces and clever storage solutions. With the inclusion of two induction cooktops powered by a 2200W inverter and 2160Wh leisure battery, cooking on the go has never been easier. The integration of USB sockets, wireless charging surfaces, and AC sockets caters to the modern traveler looking to stay connected and powered up during their adventures.
Despite the exceptional driving experience of the ID Buzz, Volkswagen’s poorly designed software remains a point of frustration for users. However, the eVentje customizations do not compromise the smooth and rattle-free ride of the vehicle. It is anticipated that VW may introduce a camping mode for the ID Buzz in the future, enhancing the overall experience for campers. The eVentje camper, designed to accommodate four people, is currently legal for two occupants on highways, providing a comfortable and spacious interior for small groups.
While the eVentje ID Buzz is certainly not cheap, starting at €95,000 in Europe, its retrofuturistic appeal and flexible interior design set it apart from competitors. With orders shipping in nine months to select European countries, Ventje is poised to expand its reach to the UK and the US in the near future. By fulfilling the promise of delivering an all-electric successor to the iconic Type 2 camper, Ventje has taken the ID Buzz to new heights and captured the essence of modern-day nomadic living.
The eVentje custom camper build-out for Volkswagen’s ID Buzz represents a significant milestone in the evolution of electric camping vehicles. With its innovative design, smart features, and commitment to quality, Ventje has created a product that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of campers and travelers alike. As the demand for sustainable and versatile camping solutions continues to grow, the eVentje sets a new standard for the intersection of technology, design, and outdoor living.
