Volkswagen e-Transporter PanAmericana - Electric Van Review & Drive

Welcome back to the channel! We are in the natural environment of the Volkswagen e-Transporter—a nondescript business park—to see if this is the ultimate electric workhorse. Specifically, we're looking at the PanAmericana trim, which is the upper-level spec here in Ireland. This latest generation is a result of the collaboration between Volkswagen and Ford, resulting in a larger load bed, improved towing capacity, and a much more modernized cabin. With a rugged exterior cladding and a high-tech interior, we’re going to put its 64 kWh battery to the test and see how it handles a real-world mix of urban and motorway driving.
