45 ID. Buzz Vans Gather in Bellingham: Inside the Pacific Northwest Buzz-In

The Pacific Northwest’s electric van community kicked off its annual Buzz-In meetup with a record turnout. This year, 45 Volkswagen ID. Buzz vans rolled into Bellingham, Washington, braving the signature drizzle to celebrate their shared passion for electric mobility. Organizers say the number doubled last year’s attendance, a clear sign of the ID. Buzz’s growing popularity among EV enthusiasts.

Attendees, including two local enthusiasts named Mitch, showcased a range of customized vans. From subtle wheel and wrap upgrades to fully outfitted camper conversions, the gathering highlighted how owners are making the retro-modern van their own. The meet also offered practical workshops and a community swap meet, where owners shared tips on maximizing range and integrating home charging solutions.

The Buzz-In’s success reflects a broader trend: the ID. Buzz is becoming a favorite canvas for personalization. As the electric van market expands, such gatherings are likely to become regular fixtures, fostering a sense of camaraderie among early adopters. For those who missed this year, the organizers are already hinting at an even bigger event next year.
