Join us for another episode of VW ID Talk! In this episode, Jeremy and Jan do a deep dive into their personal builds: a customized 2025 VW ID. Buzz and a highly modified VW ID.4.

In this episode of the VWD Talk Podcast, we sit down with Chris from https://www.youtube.com/@BatteryLife to discuss the full spectrum of Volkswagen's electric future. Chris shares his honest long-term review of the ID.7 after two years of ownership—is it really the "pinnacle" of the MEB platform?

Join us for a frank, fast-paced sit-down with Jan Stanek @ElectroDad —whose goal is to inspire a million mindsets toward clean energy and electromobility.

We dig into the two biggest blockers he hears daily (price and lack of firsthand experience), show how real-world charging now rivals fuel stops, and hear how his 250,000 electric miles changed his view of “car freedom.” Stick around for his simple challenge to diesel drivers: give an EV a weekend and see if you can go back.

Did you know that 46% of VW ID. drivers prefer 4 buttons? Are you tired of fumbling with the VW ID.4’s two-window switch and that finicky rear button?

In this episode, Wes and Jan walk you through an in-depth, real-world retrofit: upgrading to a true four-switch layout—using high-quality Audi (or VW/Skoda) parts and a custom 3D-printed trim.

In-depth discussion with Yuri (aka Yurik) from YuriKAccessories about making thoughtful and useful aftermarket accessories for EVs, such as the ID.4, ID.Buzz, Q4 e-tron, Hyundai Ioniq, BMW i3/i4/iX, Honda Prologue/Acura ZDX, and even the Fisker Ocean!

Volkswagen's transition to capacitive touch controls in models like the ID.4 and Golf Mk8 sparked significant debate among drivers and industry experts. Many users found these touch-sensitive interfaces less intuitive and more distracting compared to traditional physical buttons.

We took the Volkswagen ID.4 on a 2,000-mile EV road trip from Seattle, Washington to Santa Cruz, California and back. Along the way, we tested public charging infrastructure, enjoyed coastal routes, and gathered real-world insights on range, comfort, and long-distance EV travel.

Whether you're considering an ID.4 or planning your own electric road trip, this episode offers practical takeaways, tips, and a look at what it's really like to drive an EV on a multi-day journey.
