Minivan seems like a great form factor for an EV. Unfortunately, the small number of companies that still make minivans are also the companies that are slowest to adopt EVs.

It is the ideal form factor for anyone with a little bit of sense. It has the best room/capacity per footprint.

They aren't the most aerodynamic and had surprisingly bad fuel economy the last time I looked, but after those concerns it's hard to beat a minivan. I was shocked just how little cargo capacity my father in law's big fancy Mercedes SUV has - I was able to fit more in a Honda Fit (which explains the name!)

What use case does a minivan solve that a VW ID BUZZ does not?

I guess it's technically not a minivan(?), but it's not very far from it!

Are the middle and rear seats in the ID Buzz storable or removable? That was the only thing I remember.

I would probably be ok with the abuzz, but you can't but it in the US yet.
