Volkswagen Canada and Electrify Canada have partnered to give free DC fast charging to new ID. Buzz owners.
According to an announcement by the two companies, first-time buyers of the electric bus will receive 1,400 kWh of free fast charging, which can be redeemed at any Electrify Canada station within four years of purchase or lease.
The ID. Buzz supports Plug & Charge functionality, which eliminates the need for a smartphone, bank card, or mobile app. Owners simply plug in at an Electrify Canada station, and the vehicle automatically initiates the charging session and payment process, streamlining the experience.
Electrify Canada currently has over 200 DC fast-charging locations in Canada across seven provinces.
The ID. Buzz features a peak DC charging rate of 200 kW, allowing for the 91 kWh battery to charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 26 minutes. A quick 10-minute charge can provide up to 130 km of range, according to VW.
