I would love to have a diesel EV Camper. What I would really, really love is the long wheelbase Winnebago EV Camper with a TDI. Being a 4X4 would be an extra added feature. Unfortunately I don't think diesel EVs will ever be sold in the USA. But, I wonder...

Diesels are real popular in Canada. I wonder if any EV diesel campers are available in Canada. Since Canadian vehicle requirements are very similar to those in the USA, having a vehicle available in Canada would mean that VW had satisfied the vehicle requirements for North America. It should be possible to import such a Canadian vehicle into the USA.

Considering the German EV TDI, I wonder if air conditioning is an option? Hopefully, the TDI would have enough power for air conditioning.

I saw the pictures and the description, looks great, but I didn't see any referrence to the TDI or even Turbo diesel, just the 5cyl. diesel. Are we sure this was really a TDI?

>>> At least the price-sheet said so, and with 102 HP it really should be one !!! <<<

Do we know if it is a long wheelbase or short?

>>> The one one the pic is short wheelbase, as far as I know syncro is possible with long wb as well <<<

I'd really like to see a TDI or even a Turbo diesel in long wheelbase as a Transporter or an MV.

Also could you post the URL of the VW German page? >>> http://www.vwn.de http://www.vw-online.de/ http://www.vw-online.de/sharan/index_.htm

>>> I'd like best to see a V6 AUDI TDI (150 HP) and a manual 6-speed or 5 autoe tiptronic in it, 16'' MT wheels and at least 25 cm of groung clearence ...
