The Volkswagen Bus is one of the most iconic vehicles in the history of car manufacturing. However, fans of that ‘hippie bus’ have been waiting for years for VW to come out with another Bus design that’s as well-loved. It turns out that this adorable eBussy by Electric Brands might be the VW Bus you’ve been waiting for.

Inspired By The Past

Sometimes design has to look back to move forward. Electric vehicles are quickly becoming the future of the motor industry, and the eBussy is definitely an ode to the Volkswagen Bus. Electric Brands is looking to bring this VW Bus-style EV to the market in 2021. The company launched in 2018 when it decided to make electric scooters, but has now set its sights on the full-sized EV market.

Packing A Punch

This cute-looking van has a ton of features that make it an intriguing prospect for the future of motoring. The eBussy comes in 10 different body types ranging from minivan to pickup truck. There is even an off-road version for those who like living on the edge.

Not only does the eBussy have easily accessible batteries, but it even extends its driving range by being partly solar-powered. Electric Brands also plans on having power banks that allow drivers to exchange depleted batteries for fully charged ones.

Mixing Things Up

Another added bonus of the eBussy is the fact you can change where the steering wheel sits. It can be positioned on the left, right, or middle of the dashboard thanks to drive-by-wire technology. The interior can be rearranged to suit drivers’ needs by configuring the seats in a way that works for you.

The eBussy is made in Germany, with prices starting from $18,273. If you’re tired of waiting for VW to bring us an updated Bus that we can all love, then the eBussy might be the vehicle for you.

Formula One driver and 7-time world championship winner, Lewis Hamilton, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II during 2021 New Year Honors. British Formula One driver received this honor for his exceptional career and his work in combating racism, and was recommended for knighthood by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson back in November.

A Stellar Formula One Career

Lewis Hamilton is a British race driver that started his career driving for McLaren from 2007 until 2012 and for Mercedes from 2013 to the present day. He has won seven World Drivers’ championship titles, four of which were consecutive wins, equaling the legendary F1 driver Michael Schumacher. Hamilton is currently Formula One’s most successful driver with 95 wins overall. His incredible career had earned him a knighthood and the title Sir in 2021, making him the fourth F1 driver to receive this honor, alongside Jack Brabham, Jackie Stewart, and Stirling Moss.

Racial Justice Activism

In addition to his F1 career, Hamilton is also a prominent activist and philanthropist. As a strong advocate against racism, Hamilton took the knee before every race he took part in during 2020 in honor of the Black Lives Matter movement and wore T-shirts bearing that slogan. Hamilton criticizes the lack of diversity in Formula One and has set up the Hamilton Commission with the Royal Academy of Engineering. The ultimate goal of this commission is increasing diversity in motorsports by engaging more young people of color in technology, engineering, science, and mathematics.

Lewis Hamilton Has No Plans of Retiring

The accomplished driver’s career goes on as he has not announced any retirement plans at this time. It’s quite possible that Hamilton may yet set new records for F1 in upcoming seasons. His other ventures include music, which the driver claims was a big passion of his since he was very young. F1 star also launched a clothing line in 2019, TOMMYXLEWIS, alongside designer Tommy Hilfiger.
