I had high hopes for this to catch on, but alas, another failure looms:
Those pesky "market conditions" might kill off the nostalgic EV we all waited years for.

A refurbished 1970ish Brazilian made Type 2 bus powered by an anemic ICE engine will set you back about 1/2 the cost of a brand new ID Buzz.
Bid for the chance to own a 1974 Volkswagen Type 2 23-Window Conversion at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #211,917.

Demand for these are never ending. Had VW just built the Buzz with an ICE powerplant and an automatic transmission it could have made a market for itself just based on nostalga, just as the "New Bug" did for VW in the 2000's.
