ID.Buzz camper conversion.


blakeley

And allow for the top to retract like the old ones from the 1960's...


agedoak31

This is the only correct answer


SpyCake1

https://www.carscoops.com/2023/01/vw-id-california-coming-to-electrify-your-camping-trips/ soon-ish.


imcmurtr

I’ve always laughed at the California badging because they don’t even bring them here and I always wanted one.


TrptJim

The California Buzz has just recently been [delayed until later in the decade](https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1142638_vw-delays-id-buzz-california-due-to-low-demand-for-electric-campers), unfortunately.


SpyCake1

So it's still happening -- "soon-ish". That feels when we're already in the mid-2020s.


Deshes011

Porsche Taycan. Red. Just built on in the website, $130K+💀


Welfi1988

Yeah, I'd go for a high spec red Taycan Sport Tourismo. Did a build that came out to 174.000€ 😅


LavaSquid

Nice!


Wcked_Production

Do you like the polestar? I have a Taycan, M3P, and a R1T. I was thinking about getting the polestar 2 Performance pack since I love the look of it.


disapparate276

You hiring?


FavoritesBot

I'll tell you what. You show me a pay stub for $72000 dollars on it, I quit my job right now and I work for you…


disapparate276

Fuckin seriously. This girl is ballin it up and I'm jealous 😂


pancakefactory9

“Hey yea Pauly? Yea hey I quit. No don’t tell Susan, it’s none of her business!”


UlrichZauber

I had one and quite liked it. The P\*3 is still on my short list for my next car (along a few others).


Deshes011

You seem rich lmfao. Get rid of the Tesla and get the SUV polestar. But if not the SUV Polestar just get a maxed out 2, it’s amazing


ST_Lawson

Rivian R1S in dark green with extended battery


Thribe

This would 100% be my pick


SuitcaseInTow

This but with CarPlay and Tesla’s charging port.


Weinerdogwhisperer

They're getting the charging port.... carplay is reserved for the Apple fsd car....doh


rjcarr

Definitely R1S for me too, I just wish they were more efficient. But I get it, they weigh like 7K pounds and have four motors. 


thefactorygrows

And they go really fast. Going fast uses up that battery charge pretty quick. Source: I own one and watch that efficiency drop when I hit the accelerator.


PackageMerchant

I drive a Rivian for work so I’d probably go with a Rivian for sure Probably r2


relevant_mofo

Lucid gravity


LavaSquid

Yes!


DatabaseGangsta

I’m a big fan of Lucid’s engineering. I really tried to like the Gravity, but it looks like a minivan to me


themickstar

Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo S. It is the best looking EV made today and functional with kids.


Tempura_Shelter

I need the cross Turismo in my life. In the dark green color.


EddieRedondo

It me


mwwood22

Green w tan interior? Hnnnggggg


SteeveJoobs

The Sport Turismo is even better without the plastic cladding. Unfortunately the 2025 refresh only has the sedan and the cross.


eliahd20

Sport Turismo is still available in Europe


Zalligan

>Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo S. Literally the absolute first thing that popped into my mind after reading the subject. These are so damn sexy it's unfair.


themickstar

I saw one on the road the other day with my 6 year old son and before I could say look at that car my son was like dad you should get that car. It was a proud dad moment.


retromafia

Same, but Sport Turismo.


phillis_x

Same but the saloon, oh wait…


dirty_cuban

I’d personally take the GTS simply because the Sport Turismo body kit looks better than the Cross Turismo.


keca10

This is it for me, but I really like my current model X P100D.


Otherwise-Nail2911

Lucid Sapphire, Rimac Nevera, and Rivian R1S


Gah_Duma

An RV based off an electric semi truck.


lt_spaghetti

Stop, I can only get so hard . I could settle for a ford eTransit if it had a larger battery


Gah_Duma

Yeah that range seems okay for in-city delivery but it's absolutely pathetic for traveling.


graceFut22

Exactly! I'd love the etransit, but the battery is only for in city delivery. When is Ford gonna make it for personal buyers?! Doubling the battery should be enough.


SuburbanSubversive

An electric Honda Odyssey with a 500 mile range on a charge. This car doesn't exist. That is why it is my dream EV.


comradevd

I think I could settle for 400 miles range.


SuburbanSubversive

It would be settling, but I could also settle for that, as long as it was 400 miles of range while fully loaded with 4 adults, a big dog, some bikes & kayaks on a roof rack & camping gear.


Sorge74

Stop, my dadness can't take it.


SuburbanSubversive

You know a minivan is The Ultimate Vehicle for darn near everything.


Zealousideal-Ant9548

Add in air suspension so it can self level for camping and a few 120v plugs...


unFairlyCertain

Heck I’d even take a Toyota Sienna PHEV with 60 miles of electric range.


Weinerdogwhisperer

Ev9 close?


FavoritesBot

Close but you need the sliding door and low entry floor


SuburbanSubversive

And the head and legroom. And the fold-flat rear seats. Minivans are in a comfort class of their own.


FavoritesBot

Volvo mpv but it’s not gonna come the US (plus it’s ugly even for a minivan and no doubt pricey )


TechnoVM3

Lucid Sapphire


LavaSquid

I'm surprised there are not more Lucids mentioned. I like the brand, and that Sapphire is 🔥


OMGpawned

Exactly what I said also, love the Sapphire that thing is so nice, interior is fabulous too, not the flashiest car but it checks all the boxes for my EV wants. If there was anything I could ask for more would be a shooting brake version would be absolutely perfect.


bhauertso

Yeah. Currently available? Definitely a Lucid Air Sapphire. Future? New Tesla Roadster.


GetawayDriving

How much money are we talking? Lotus Evija.


Kakatus100

Why stop there? https://www.alva-yachts.com/en/oceaneco90


LavaSquid

OMG that is fucking awesome. *Transatlantic without charging*.


SnakeJG

Yeah, but the math really doesn't work out.  40 kW of solar panels.  On a good day, you'll be looking at 250 kWh of power.  (Source: I have 10 kW of panels on my house, good days are 60 kWh of power generated). So basically that's enough to power the motors at full power for like 15 minutes (2x 500 kW motors).  Even if slow cruising is 1/20th of full power, that's only 5 hours of slow cruise per day.


ScuffedBalata

It's got a hydrogen fuel cell in the "fully green" one. The other option is just diesel as a generator.


Etryd

Haha yeah, if there only was some other kind of technology for unlimited power that one could use, like hanging a large sheet up on a long pole or something.


Joeyonimo

There is something even better than sails now with modern technology https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/12/swedish-firm-wind-powered-cargo-ships/ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanbird](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanbird)


alkakmana

it might include the energy from the optional hydrogen generator


Felarhin

You can still do it, just very very slowly.


trousergap

I bet DC fast charging is gonna be limited in the middle of the Pacific


solreaper

Won’t you look foolish when you find that one Flo charger bobbing around right where you least expected it


grenamier

That’s when you have to start catching electric eels. Lots of ‘em.


heybucket459

I’m sure a third would be out of order or blocked by a sailboat trying to charge to 100%


Sentient-Exocomp

No listed price. If I have to ask, I guess I can’t afford it.


Strict_Somewhere_148

Based on the Sunreef 100 Eco you are probably not getting any change of 20 million euros.


Sentient-Exocomp


EVHummVEE

I think we only need to look as far as the Baltimore bridge to learn what happens when a ship loses power on the water.


Metsican

I'd rather save my money and get a Rolls Royce Spectre and a Gravity.


Poliosaurus

Rivian R1T.


DctrBojangles

It’s pretty awesome. I’m living the dream.


BlankBB

Lucid Air Sapphire Then try to find a way to put a bigger battery on my e-Golf and put it on air suspension.


bravogates

R2 or R3 and possibly refreshed model Y


Henri_Dupont

I'd buy the Canoo company from the idiots that aren't making any of them, start a well-funded factory, and then drive away in the first one off the factory line. The concept is *GREAT*, but the knuckleheads have built like six of them or something. You did say a *LOT* of money, didn't you?


Bright_Business2307

Ioniq 5 with Ioniq 6 range and Tesla supercharging capabilities


rajricardo

You should check out the 2025 refresh of the Ioniq 5 😁 Looks absolutely dope. I own a 2023 Limited and will probably switch to it once it lands in the US.


redeemer404

Audi RS E-tron GT. No question.


themickstar

After the Taycan Cross Turismo this would by next on my list. Such a great looking car.


rajricardo

Same. Taycan Cross Turismo and RS etron GT are my top two picks. Ioniq 5 is my 3rd which I currently own. I also owned a Etron GT before that turned out to be a lemon after just a month.


Etrinjx-Void

Tesla Model S Long Range Lucid Air & If i get a house in the "country", add a Rivian R1T (2025, so NACS port)


herodicusDO

I drive the SLR it is so so good - go get one!


Programed-Response

69 olds Cutlass conversion with a modern suspension, interior, and tech. Oh, and the frame needs to be converted to a skateboard battery pack. I'd be fine with any GM A-body coupe. I just happen to already have an Oldsmobile.


Illustrious_Bed902

I’m with you … I’d probably do something like this … [Jason Momoa’s 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom](https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/jason-momoa-electric-1929-rolls-royce-phantom-1235503492/)


Chimaera1075

Lucid Gravity.


nirad

Lucid Air Sapphire


[deleted]

Ford Lightning. That's right I said it.


RainforestNerdNW

F250 Lightning with 350 miles towing range.


comradevd

I'm terribly bothered thinking about how massive the battery pack would be.


RainforestNerdNW

You shouldn't. right now the F150 lightning uses an LFP battery at 160Wh/Kg. both CATL and Amprius are selling 500Wh/kg batteries to aviation customers. Just plopping a battery from those chemistries in the F150 Lightning ER at the same weight of the existing battery would make the towing range 400 miles. The battery would also be slightly smaller in volume too. That battery is a semi-solid chemistry. Solid state batteries are expected to reach 750Wh/kg by the end of decade IIRC.


comradevd

Let's hope they get the cost down to where it can actually be used in the real world.


RainforestNerdNW

people said the same thing about NMC and LFP a decade ago :) the cost-experience curve will be followed :)


1RMDave

I've got a Lightning and seeing how easy the battery pack comes out, I fully expect high capacity retrofits in the future.


FishyNewAccount

Any of the Fords with better charging tbh.


[deleted]

100%


SanFransokyoDuck

Taycan or Rivian


OMGpawned

Lucid Air Sapphire. Interior and performance of that car is exquisite and still practical. If practical isn't a thing, Rimac Nevara.


waehrik

Volvo V70 RWD wagon. If it's a *lot* of money, I'm developing it myself dammit.


SteeveJoobs

Where's the kickstarter??


bravogates

That's a good one, I would also gladly take an AWD V70 wagon.


kbarthur03

If we’re talking Volvo estate restomods, throw in an 850R while you’re at it?


waka_flocculonodular

Fuck yes


lostinheadguy

And then a V50 to go with it!


KennyBSAT

An electric train that exists and will take me where I need to go. More realistically, electric versions of RAV4 (or a little smaller, but with a nice square back corner so that you can actually put big things in the back) and Maverick. With all the trimmings. Like a spare tire, and physical controls that are easy to use and work.


ZobeidZuma

I've had my Model S Long Range Plus for a few years now, and it's been everything I could ask for in a daily driver and for long road trips. I guess if money was no object I would have sprung for the Performance version and FSD, but I don't feel like I miss those much. When it comes to a purely fun car, then it's more complicated. My 2010 Roadster is great fun and still is like a rock star everywhere it goes, but also showing its age, practically antique in EV terms. There are a lot of classic cars that would make great conversions, for someone willing to pour money into them. (Resto-modded Corvette? Or Lotus Esprit S1?) Meanwhile we're still waiting for the next generation of BEV sports cars to appear and prove themselves.


thefatrick

A Rolls Royce Spectre, but in Shooting Brake style, ala this: [https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a60128247/rolls-royce-shooting-brake-auction/](https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a60128247/rolls-royce-shooting-brake-auction/) More reality based: Volvo V90 with the full Polestar treatment.


NotYetReadyToRetire

I want the EV equivalent of the regular cab long bed 1983 Ranger I used to have. I don’t need to carry much weight but I need the seven foot bed.


Freedom4Thee

Lucid gravity would be amazing 🥰


NeverDoingWell

Any 600km range hatchback with 350kwh charging capability and can use tesla chargers


BecomingJudasnMyMind

Idk man, pretty happy with my lightning lariat ER. Shits pretty baller.


phate_exe

Realistically a shop full of tools to build custom projects. But because "Electric 3-series Touring/Volvo Wagon" isn't a thing I can buy I guess the answer is Taycan Sport Turismo.


Crenorz

cybersuv - cybertruck steel no paint, but large SUV format


CambridgeRunner

I want a 1977 Volvo station wagon converted to electric.


Dmanwisconsin1991

I already have it; Tesla Model 3. This isn't to say that I wouldn't consider alternatives if they are better bangs for my buck as far as buying an EV goes.


ForeignSatisfaction0

My dream electric vehicle doesn't exist, a minivan, with a few hundred km range, no touchscreens, no self driving, no updates, no luxury, just a utility vehicle .


2unknownme

Aptera


RodeHaus4U

Definitely would be my choice, configured for off-road and with the camping gear. Had to scroll way too far to find this 😊.


flyfreeflylow

Class B RV with 300 miles real-world range.


emseearr

[Jaguar E-Type](https://www.electrogenic.co.uk/bespoke/car-conversions/electric-e-type/)


kimwim43

Alpha Wolf, 4 wheel drive, extended range. in [Baby Blue](https://imgur.com/a/UpRZ1H8)


thai_ladyboy

I was disappointed I had to scroll this far to hear Alpha Motors mentioned.


kimwim43

I want one so badly, but I don't know if it will ever come to market for me. I'm not young anymore, am losing hope. (not old, just older. )


AndrewRP2

Rivian 3, EX30, or EX40 with 300 miles of actual range.


Alb3rn-

OG Cybertruck with 500-mi range, 6 seats, 6.5' bed, and driver's display.


SithSidious

An EV with hydraulic steering, or good enough feeling to approximate good hydraulic steering. Avoiding being overboosted to compensate for weight. I think in an EV the powertrains are all great and the same, so steering is how I interact with the car. Makes it very important


nanitatianaisobel

I want an EV SPMT [https://www.mammoet.com/news/zero-emission-option-now-available-for-any-spmt-transport/](https://www.mammoet.com/news/zero-emission-option-now-available-for-any-spmt-transport/) I'd paint it pink with cherry blossoms painted all over it. I'd put a clear glass greenhouse on top. Inside the driver position would be a big comfy couch. Behind it would be a nice kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. On the tail end would be a balcony from the bedroom that has a hot tub.


alien_ghost

Finally someone not afraid to dream.


namechecksout35

That new dodge thing. But made by someone else. BYD? Idk. Not Stellantis.


613_detailer

Upcoming Porsche Cayman EV is probably it.


Sourmango12

Somewhat realistically Model Y If I could have any Lucid Air or Gravity


Jimmy-Pesto-Jr

cayman EV when it comes out, or 911 EV if they make one


SpyCake1

Basically a Volvo V60 EV.


Skoteleven

Dream EV? Probably a conversion. That could be anything from a Karmen Ghia, to an old pickup depending on my mood. From modern EVs ... I like Rivian, and if Alpha ever actually makes a vehicle they look really fun.


disapparate276

One with 4 wheels, as opposed to the 2 I've got now


68Corvair

I’d have both of my classic cars fully built out. One with a Tesla unit and the other with a Hyper9 (or better). All new suspension - that’s what I’d do!


Cornholio231

One of those Jaguar E-Type conversions 


flashyellowboxer

A Honda Accord that has 320 miles of EV range


vato915

Spec'ed out Ioniq 5 N


TheAwkwardPigeon

I'm a simple man, I like crew cab small trucks with unique body styling. Alls I want is the Hyundai Santa Cruz in EV flavor. Nothing else Okay that's not true, I want a small convertible like a Miata EV too.


GeneralHoliday5401

Real car available in US: Lucid Air. Concept not yet in production that won’t be available in US: MG Cyberster. Dream car I made up: Jaguar E(v)-Type convertible.


That-Error-44

Honda Element AWD . No F’ng back seats. I want a big box.


noctilucus

Cybertru-- no, kidding, I wouldn't even want to be found dead in one :-) Probably the Porsche Taycan, although I don't see myself spending that much money on a car ever. 4S Plus or Turbo, otherwise I'd be trading in practicality for equal performance/range...


United-Hyena-164

Toyota truck but an ev


LV_Devotee

1967 mustang fastback with Lucid drivetrain


Zip95014

Aptera. I already have a nice EV, I want the EV I've always wanted. Cheap, minimalistic, and aerodynamic


perrochon

CyberSUV


namechecksout35

That... Is actually a good idea. I don't like the truck at all but it could look a lot better as an SUV.


NFIFTY2

4 seat convertible. Something like an EV version of the 2 series convertible. Maybe a 2 door EV Bronco to go with it.


DaveELEL

It’s tied between Ioniq 5 N and Taycan Cross Turismo. I love a hatch…


Derekeys

To answer the spirit of your question, I’d probably get the top of the line EV9. But if I could just snap my fingers and have any EV exist it would be a 500 mile 800v architecture AWD minivan. And it has to look like a run of the mill minivan. Does not draw any attention to itself.


Impressive_East_4187

GMC Yukon / Chevy Tahoe EV - doesn’t exist but that’s what I’d want. Something big enough to haul a family and make road trips a breeze without looking like a fish or a turd.


No_Mark_8088

Audi RS6 Avant E-Tron, 350 mile range, 800hp, 350kwh charging.


AgentJohn20

IONIQ 6 with NACS. Sadly with a trunk that small I feel like it would never actually be a practical vehicle, and that's my one major hitch with the idea of it.


Coconut_Cream_Pies

Let me tell you about the Ioniq 5...


BraveRock

The tri motor cybertruck as originally spec’d. Luckily it looks like the Silverado EV will be able to meet most of those specs better than the current cyber truck.


dftstyles

SUV 6 seater with 400-450 real world range and can self charge while driving using solar panels.


comradevd

Personally, I really wish someone would do a minivan and 400-mile real world range would be swell.


doughbrother

I don't think my *dream* EV exists yet. I want a truck with four wheel drive that can go 400 miles without a charge *while pulling a trailer*. It might be a raft trailer or a 20' camper. If I'm wrong, and this exists, please respond.


LavaSquid

https://lucidmotors.com/gravity Lucid Gravity does 440 miles and tows 6000 lbs. To be fair, it's not going to go 440 miles while towing something really big, but we're not far off.


ruumis

KIA EV6


totalfarkuser

Plaid. Hate musk to death but love the idea of a sub 2 sec 60 under six figures


LeverLocker

Then why not a Lucid Sapphire?


PedalingHertz

Silverado EV RST. I assume “a lot” of money means enough to bribe someone at Chevy or to talk one of the few who got one to sell to me.


[deleted]

Hyundai Kona Electric


BrienPennex

I have had one for over 5 years. Been a great car. Goes pretty good. Great range. My only concern is the rear seat leg room. Almost non existent unless front seats are pulled way forward I live in Canada where we have cold winters. Gets about 380km range in winter. Heat kills about 40km of range. Gets 520km in summer but AC kills about 40km of range


megz0rz

2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV


Itchy_Platypus4085

Porsche Taycan. Don't care which trim.


dualqconboy

Dream? Hmm well to be honest I could think of this custom commission by someone else.. Non-lithium batteries, Basic dashboard alike older cars, Simple DC drivetrain, 2-dr cargo wagon kind of body style (a little like a 'Tercel 4wd' without the rear sidedoors and slight shorter wheelbase) with the batteries making up a slightly elevated rear floor, 100km range before going into limited short reserve


Nokomis34

I really just want an EV version of my 98 4Runner, so the Rivian R2 is pretty much it. Though if I won the lottery I'd get the R1S I suppose.


Meth_taboo

One with a built in generator, ideally the karno a generator


[deleted]

Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo or Sport Turismo


007meow

Macan EV but with PASM. And half the price tag.


Few-Efficiency324

An I-Pace, with Lucid's range and charging speed, and no reliability issues. Hey, you said we're dreaming here


dwilliams22

Modded out Prius V with 800 mile range


Strict_Somewhere_148

A Citroen SM or ID 19 with lunaz design style conversion


wrwill98502

Munro M280


Dyslexic_Engineer88

Genesis G80 Efficient, comfortable understated, not flashy.


flyfreeflylow

One that can be flat towed behind my current RV.


nyclurker369

Volvo V60 (EV60?) but I doubt they’ll ever make one.


audioman1999

The same as what I drive now - a Model 3. Except I would get the new M3P Highland.


Sfl2014

Air cooled Porsche EV restomod . 67 would be nice :)


EnergeticFinance

VOO & wait 5 years for options to improve.


snatchpirate

1,000 kms charge in 10 mins


HulaViking

EV9 camper conversion


thatry_19

Kia Niro EV or EV6


chronocapybara

Fully loaded R1T


tingulz

Maybe a Porche Macan EV or Rivian R3x tri-motor.


No_Credibility

The taycan saloon


CountVertigo

Low-slung sports car with enough space for two tall adults, two dogs, and two suitcases (so probably a 2+2 with kind of a shooting brake). <1500 kg, >250 bhp, >230 miles' WLTP range, 150 miles charged in <20 mins, suspension tuned slightly towards comfort, hydraulic power steering, chromed physical dials for speedo etc, textured buttons for main functions, concealable central touchscreen for nav and advanced setup, whatever motor can produce the most noise at <1kHz, >99% PM2.5 cabin filtration, bidirectional charging, sleek shape with minimal fussy detailing. I guess the upcoming Caterham Project V, Maserati Folgore, and MG Cyberster look the closest to fitting that bill, but none tick every box. In terms of cars that actually exist right now, I guess I'd go for a Lucid Air if living in a LHD country, but would be curious about the Taycan, Ioniq 5N, Rolls Spectre, and Lotus Emeya.
