The Volkswagen ID. Buzz is the all-electric reincarnation of the beloved VW bus, combining retro charm with modern technology. One of the biggest concerns for new EV owners is charging—specifically, which chargers are compatible with the ID. Buzz.
To help, we’ve outlined the charging options available, including home charging, public stations, and Tesla Superchargers.
Level 1 Charging: A Simple Home Solution
For those using their ID Buzz for daily commutes around Daphne, a Level 1 charger is the easiest option. This method uses a standard 120-volt household outlet and a J1772 connector, which comes with the vehicle.
- Pros: No additional equipment required
- Cons: Slow charging—takes about 12 hours for a full charge
If you drive frequently in Mobile or Fairhope, you may want to consider a faster option like Level 2 charging.
Level 2 Charging: Faster Home and Public Charging
For a balance of speed and convenience, Level 2 charging is ideal. This requires a 240-volt outlet and is available at both public charging stations and for home installation.
- Compatible connectors: J1772 or CCS
- Charge time: 7.5 to 11.5 hours for a full battery
Since Volkswagen doesn’t include a home charger with the ID. Buzz, Volkswagen of Daphne can help you find the best charging solution for your home.
Can ID Buzz Use Tesla Chargers?
Yes, but you’ll need an adapter.
- The ID Buzz uses a CCS connector for DC fast charging.
- Most Tesla Superchargers use NACS connectors, which require an NACS-to-CCS adapter.
- Tesla’s “Magic Dock” stations allow CCS vehicles to charge without an adapter, but they’re not yet widely available.
- Before heading to a Tesla Supercharger in Daphne or Baldwin County, check the Tesla app to confirm compatibility.
