A darling of the VW booth at auto shows for the past few years, the hype it generated at the beginning was almost entirely based on nostalgia.

Drivers might not find minivans cool, but a van from Volkswagen that reminds them of the Summer of Love and California surf culture? Well, that’s certainly worthy of a spot in the driveway. But with the times being what they are and the rise of “van life,” the battery-powered microbus is set to become something else.

Suddenly, flights seemed too risky, especially for those with children. Car rental companies sold their fleets to stave off bankruptcy only to be caught without enough inventory for people who eventually decided to fly to vacation spots and for those opting to travel by four wheels instead of in the air.

At the same time, van life was on the rise. Modern-day vagabonds taking to the road in converted vans powered by wanderlust and Instagram likes. At first, a curiosity, but as lockdowns wore on and people tried to figure out how to get away without interacting with too many strangers, the allure of traveling by and sleeping in a van sounded better by the day.
