There\u2019s something fun about reproducing retro-looking vehicles in an electric form factor. You get all of the exciting, old school design vibes that today\u2019s automotive culture is sorely lacking, yet in a modern vehicle that doesn\u2019t require two hours of wrenching for every hour of driving. <\/p>\n

And this awesome-looking reproduction of a 60\u2019s VW bus is a perfect example. Well, except for the fact that Alibaba\u2019s finest EV engineers <\/a>seem to have given the bus a feature that I don\u2019t think came standard back in the day.<\/p>\n

In addition to be a working, drivable electric van, this reproduction VW-styled EV also seems to do double duty as an electric food truck<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s designed with a pop top that opens up for extra head room and a drop down bar that turns into a serving counter.<\/p>\n

The interior is mostly bare, allowing proprietors to fill it with whatever kitchen equipment they want. It could be a taco truck, a 60\u2019s malt shop on wheels, or as our graphics guy seems to believe, a mobile dog food restaurant.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure how he expects me to collect payment from these pooches, but I\u2019m not tossing out the business plan just yet.<\/p>\n

And the kicker is that the awesome little electric bus only costs a mere $2,000<\/a>! For that price, how can you afford not to start your own ice cream\/dog food truck?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking this is too good to be true, then think again. The vendors were surely aware that our western audience here might be suspicious of whether or not this e-VW was the real deal, and so they made sure to include a video of it in action.<\/p>\n

The listing doesn\u2019t come with a top speed, but the video doesn\u2019t make it look like thing moves very fast. I\u2019ve seen pedal-powered coffee carts move faster.<\/p>\n

But then again, a food truck this good looking shouldn\u2019t scoot along too fast or people won\u2019t be able to enjoy the view!<\/p>\n
