If I was to offer a view - I think the pop up roof will be an all in one solar panel, and I reckon VW might overcome the challenges of how you make the majority of the roofs surface the solar panel too - thus making it both a decent size, and possibly able to support recharging the battery while you are driving along.
The next Cali is going to be clearly a quantum leap in campervanning with a hybrid. A step towards the future.
What next solar charging paint? perhaps - entire cars that charge while parked on the street. Possibly even beneath street lamps.

You're wrong. there won't be a new cali on the T7 platform. it is not strong enough. the new cali wil be on the transporter replacement wich will be build with ford (so it will be a transit copy) There won't be a EV soon because of the weight; ad the axtra camper weight on the base vehicule + cargo capacity and you will be above the 3. 5 ton mark. This will make the T6. 1 the last real california. we ordered a new one in April, and delivery will be around Januari 2023. so the -old- one will be with us for some time as the my 2023 will be half sold by now.

sleeping outside the campsites for 5 days, you make your body very reactive and alive, and you breathe pure air, the great thing is that you amortize enough money to be able to sleep in a 5-star luxury for two days, for the weekly cost of a pension or rent rooms without bathroom! I've been doing it for years and it's a wonder, 5 days of wild nature, 2 days of unbridled luxury. Furthermore, being able to travel in the utmost silence in the woods, you do not disturb the fauna and you have a fabulous electric autonomy even for the on-board accessories.

As my most trusted car reviewer, I-m with you and prefer hotels. However, my missus wants to do a 14 day tour of Scotland, which I feel would probably be best done in a Campervan. SO, I-m gonna bloody well hire one, -cos I-m buggered if I-m gonna spend 70 grand on a 14 day holiday! However, if I really like it, I-m prepared to buy one-

I'm a VW campervan guy, I love the T5, I was a little dissapointed with the T6 but I am shocked at how bad the T7 looks and how poor the specs are. Shame on VW, they are still pushing combustion engines, when will they learn that people want EVs not hybrids. As such I am now considering to buy a mercedes EQV

they know that the combustion engine is history in a few years. that is one more reason to share as many components with other cars to keep the volume up and costs down. this is key to fade out the combustion engine based cars in the next 8 years while still making profits.

I think this chap is barking up the wrong tree! This is not 'T7' a common misconception by media folk - Multivan will continue to be sold along side T6. 1 until the all new Transporter is produced with Ford. clearly all to be confirmed officially by VW in due course.

I'm a bit tired of hotels but you shouldn't have to be rich if you want to camp and -reduce- your emissions (I mean the hybrid one. I get it, Volkswagen is not cheap, but they don't have to get that expensive either, for a camping van, call me crazy

I like the current one cause it has some smart features but it's sooo expensive. This video sounds more like an advertisement sorry. I think generally we all know that the VW group likes to pamper car journalists for more content.
