I saw someone on Facebook saying that it's only one particular model that's going to stop being made - ni idea whether that's right though.

I like the look of that. Mind you I always think their big vans look solid and comfy.

Can't see how an all electric campervan is going to be succesful, specially as so many folks like to camp wild.

Tow a generator behind you and charge overnight ! Might spoil the peace and quiet a tad.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers. The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

it'll be coming at some point - all electric camper
a lot of the audis have solar roofs in them, so the crossover to putting a built in solar panel to charge a leisure battery won't be much of a challenge to the designers i would think.
Plus actually from experience a lot of the wild campers aren't the people who have been in dropping 50k on a new T6 california, it's the guys with the couple of grand older vans "keeping it real"

You should read the VW california Club forum - people go wild camping in far-flung places in Europe, solar power to charge the leisure batteries might not be a problem but there's no way they could produce enough power to move the vehicle for hundreds of miles.

BG..without reading any of the VW forums..I'd say it's not so much about having fully electric motors ( yet?) but at least having solar power whilst camping at least ?
