Tips to Reduce Charging Costs
- Charge at the depot overnight whenever possible. The ID. Buzz Cargo's 77 kWh battery fills up in about 7 hours on an 11 kW charger, and depot rates are dramatically cheaper than public fast charging.
- Take full advantage of the 185 kW DC charging speed. Charge from a low state to 80% for the fastest possible sessions, minimizing time and per-minute costs at public chargers.
- Use the ID. Buzz Cargo's preconditioning feature before DC fast charging. A warm battery reaches peak speed faster, so you spend less time and money at the charger.
- Use the standard heat pump for climate control instead of resistive heating. This is especially important in cold weather, where climate control can otherwise eat into your range and increase charging frequency.
- Keep deliveries within the 330 km range whenever possible. At 233 Wh/km, the ID. Buzz Cargo is efficient, but the 598 kg payload limit means you are unlikely to be overloading it.
Depot charging overnight is the most cost-effective routine. The 77 kWh battery and 330 km range cover most delivery days without needing a mid-day stop. When you do need a top-up, the 185 kW DC speed makes short sessions very efficient, especially if you precondition the battery first.
