The classic van vw is back and this time, in a electric model. Apparently, the popular car brand Volkswagen is making the dream of many come true. hippies outsiders (like us): imagine that you will be able to drive this beautiful classic combi and that it will not only be able to take you to the new psychedelic music festivals or to have a good road trip through the country and its natural landscapes, but it will also do so without burdening your conscience with an overwhelming carbon footprint.
