if the electric VW Microbus interests you - Car and Driver has a story repeated at two other sites:
2024 VW ID. Buzz Electric Van's U.S. On-Sale Date Confirmed (caranddriver.com)

VW ID.Buzz Still US-Bound — We Just Have To Wait A Bit Longer (jalopnik.com)
If you’re charmed by Volkswagen’s spiritual Microbus successor, the all-electric ID.Buzz, and happen to live in Europe, you should get your chance to order yours next year. For those of us in the States, the wait is going to be a little longer. Volkswagen commercial vehicle chief Carsten Intra has confirmed the ID.Buzz won’t land on our shores until 2023 as a 2024 model.
When the ID.Buzz does arrive, it won’t come in the same breadth of styles as in Europe. There, the bus will be sold commercially as well as privately, and it’ll come in short- and long-wheelbase variants. Here, Volkswagen isn’t courting businesses, and we’ll get only the the long-wheelbase one, according to details Intra revealed to Car And Driver.
Base models of the ID.Buzz will offer “around 200 horsepower” sent to the rear wheels, while higher-end models will offer as much as 300 HP and dual-motor all-wheel drive. Customers will reportedly have a choice of three battery packs.
The ID.Buzz still seems like a proposition too perfect to be true — especially on this side of the Atlantic, where Volkswagen hasn’t sold its camper vans in decades. That’s a shame, because the California T6 is a good vibes machine if there ever was one.
Given that Volkswagen is skipping the entry-level ID.3 in the U.S. but selling the ID.4 — and plans for the ID.5 and ID.6 are unclear at this point — this bus could very well be the second vehicle built on the brand’s modular electric platform to reach the States.
