Meet "Flo" - The First Climate Camper
Flo is fully electric campervan adapted from the award-winning VW ID Buzz. This camper demonstrates that the future of camping and expeditions can be fossil fuel-free. This electric camper combines modern technology with sustainable materials, offering a unique experience for environmentally conscious adventurers.
Flo has been converted and created by Dr Ed Barsley, founder of The Environmental Design Studio (TEDS) a multi award-winning social venture. Ed designed the Flood Resilient Garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2024 and is an author, artist and expert in climate resilient environments.
