Same cells, same chemistry, same usable energy content (~79 kWh net).<\/p><h3 style=\"color:#b6c6c9;margin-top:20px;\">How much does a drivable T5 as a donor vehicle cost?<\/h3><p style=\"color:#ccc;\">A T5 Transporter in roadworthy condition with T\u00dcV can be found on mobile.de from around \u20ac10,000 (as of 03\/2026). Panel vans from ~\u20ac6,500, Multivan from ~\u20ac11,000.<\/p><h3 style=\"color:#b6c6c9;margin-top:20px;\">Does the conversion get T\u00dcV approval?<\/h3><p style=\"color:#ccc;\">Yes. Our kits are installed with T\u00dcV support and designed for road approval.<\/p><h3 style=\"color:#b6c6c9;margin-top:20px;\">Is the towing capacity of my T5\/T6 retained after the conversion?<\/h3><p style=\"color:#ccc;\">Yes, the towing capacity of your donor vehicle is largely retained. Frame, rear axle and trailer coupling are not modified. Depending on the curb weight, an increase in the permitted gross weight may be required; the inspector determines the exact value from your vehicle registration certificate. For comparison: the ID. Buzz Freestyle\/Pro are limited to 1,200 kg.<\/p><h3 style=\"color:#b6c6c9;margin-top:20px;\">How realistic is the range?<\/h3><p style=\"color:#ccc;\">Realistically, we reckon on around 350 km, physics-based calculated and calibrated against official VW WLTP data. Not an official WLTP value.<\/p><h3 style=\"color:#b6c6c9;margin-top:20px;\">What statutory warranty applies?<\/h3><p style=\"color:#ccc;\">The statutory 2-year warranty applies. The MEB battery comes from OEM production, so the same lifespan can be expected as in the production vehicle. The donor vehicle is used \u2013 but \u20ac11,000\u201325,000 cheaper than the VW equivalent as a result.<\/p><p style=\"color:#666;font-size:11px;margin-top:30px;\">All prices incl. VAT. ID. Buzz prices: VW configurator, as of 03\/2026. e-Transporter prices: VW Commercial Vehicles configurator, as of 01\/2026. Used prices: mobile.de.
