Volkswagen E-Bulli is a graceful take on an EV conversion
New design, upgraded mechanical bits and more -- the E-Bulli is a home run.
Sean Szymkowski
It all started with Gran Turismo. From those early PlayStation days, Sean was drawn to anything with four wheels. Prior to joining the Roadshow team, he was a freelance contributor for Motor Authority, The Car Connection and Green Car Reports. As for what's in the garage, Sean owns a 2016 Chevrolet SS, and yes, it has Holden badges.
The Volkswagen E-Bulli is all about zero emissions with classic looks.
It's actually a T1 Samba Bus with an electric powertrain.
VW worked with eClassics to create this conversion and it's truly wonderful.
Plenty of retro touches remain, but nearly everything gets a slightly modern makeover.
There's a modern gear selector.
The old gauge gets a slight upgrade and looks lovely.
The bus should go 124 miles on a charge and delivers 81 horsepower.
Look at this super nifty charging port access!
This is where the four-cylinder engine once sat. The battery sits under the floor.
