Volkswagen ID. Buzz Home Charging: Time, Cost and the Right Charger
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz's onboard AC charger takes 11 kW as standard. At home, charging from 20% to 80% with an 11 kW charger takes: Pure (59 kWh) 3 h 35 min, Pro (79 kWh) 4 h 47 min, GTX 4Motion (86 kWh) 5 h 13 min, Cargo (79 kWh) 4 h 47 min. A 22 kW charger will not charge this car any faster. Charging at home costs about £5.11-5.42 per 100 km at UK household prices.

Volkswagen ID. Buzz versions
| Version | Battery capacity | Onboard AC | DC peak power | Average consumption |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pure | 59 kWh | 11 kW | 165 kW | 20.6 kWh / 100 kmWLTP |
| Pro | 79 kWh | 11 kW | 185 kW | 19.4 kWh / 100 kmWLTP |
| GTX 4Motion | 86 kWh | 11 kW | 200 kW | 20.2 kWh / 100 kmWLTP |
| Cargo | 79 kWh | 11 kW | 185 kW | 19.4 kWh / 100 kmWLTP |
Values come from the manufacturer's technical data for the Turkish market. WLTP consumption is measured at the grid and includes charging losses; the cost calculation counts this loss only once.
Versions and values refer to the models sold in Türkiye; equipment and charging power can differ in your country.
Home charging time (20% to 80%)
Charging speed is set by the car's onboard AC charger, not by the wallbox. The Volkswagen ID. Buzz takes at most 11 kW with the standard unit; a more powerful charger cannot exceed this limit.

It depends on the model year. EV Database's list data marks V2L (vehicle-to-load) for some model years of the ID. Buzz and not for others; the Turkish-market documents do not mention it. Check your car's equipment with an authorised service. For camping or site work, C2L adapters that take power from a charging point work independently of the car.
V2L and C2L adaptersFrequently asked questions
- How long does the Volkswagen ID. Buzz take to charge at home?
- From 20% to 80%: with an 11 kW charger Pure (59 kWh) 3 h 35 min, Pro (79 kWh) 4 h 47 min, GTX 4Motion (86 kWh) 5 h 13 min, Cargo (79 kWh) 4 h 47 min; with a single-phase 7.4 kW charger Pure (59 kWh) 5 h 19 min, Pro (79 kWh) 7 h 7 min, GTX 4Motion (86 kWh) 7 h 45 min, Cargo (79 kWh) 7 h 7 min; with a 3.7 kW (16 A single-phase) portable charger Pure (59 kWh) 10 h 38 min, Pro (79 kWh) 14 h 14 min, GTX 4Motion (86 kWh) 15 h 30 min, Cargo (79 kWh) 14 h 14 min. Times depend on the car's onboard AC charger and the battery's state of charge.
- Which charger is right for the Volkswagen ID. Buzz?
- Because the car's onboard AC charger takes 11 kW as standard, a three-phase 11 kW wallbox at home gives the fastest charging the car can accept. On a single-phase supply, a 7.4 kW wallbox is usually enough for everyday use.
- Does a 22 kW charger charge the Volkswagen ID. Buzz faster?
- No. The Volkswagen ID. Buzz takes at most 11 kW AC; a 22 kW charger gives this car the same power. A 22 kW charger only makes sense for a future car that supports 22 kW or for shared use.
- How much does it cost to charge the Volkswagen ID. Buzz at home?
- At the Ofgem price cap (£0.26/kWh, 10.2026) 100 km costs about £5.11-5.42. At public AC chargers you pay about £10.48-11.12 on average, at DC rapid chargers about £14.61-15.52. Tariffs with cheaper night rates lower the cost further.
- Does the Volkswagen ID. Buzz support V2L?
- It depends on the model year. EV Database's list data marks V2L (vehicle-to-load) for some model years of the ID. Buzz and not for others; the Turkish-market documents do not mention it. Check your car's equipment with an authorised service. For camping or site work, C2L adapters that take power from a charging point work independently of the car.
