August 11, 2026 – Margaret River, Western Australia – Robert Dewar, owner and primary driver of MYDRIVER Margaret River, has taken another significant step towards sustainable tourism with the addition of a fully electric Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX to the company’s luxury private tour fleet, reinforcing his commitment to delivering premium wine tours while reducing environmental impact.

As a fully accredited Quality Tourism, Sustainable Tourism and EcoStar Tourism operator, MYDRIVER Margaret River continues to invest in initiatives that support environmentally responsible travel without compromising on comfort, luxury or the personalised experiences the business has become known for.

The transition to electric touring reflects the growing demand from travellers seeking authentic, environmentally conscious experiences throughout the Margaret River Wine Region.

Leading the Way in Sustainable Tourism

Sustainable tourism is about creating memorable travel experiences while carefully balancing environmental, social and economic impacts. It ensures visitors can enjoy destinations today while protecting them for future generations.

MYDRIVER Margaret River is proudly accredited through Australia’s largest and longest-running sustainability program, giving visitors confidence they are choosing a tourism operator committed to best practice across environmental, cultural, social and commercial sustainability.

Western Australia continues to lead the nation in sustainable tourism, with more than 1,200 accredited tourism businesses, and MYDRIVER Margaret River is proud to be part of this growing movement.

“Margaret River is one of Australia’s most beautiful wine regions, and I believe it’s our responsibility to help preserve it for future generations,” said Robert.

“Our guests choose us because they want a premium, personalised experience, and the new electric vehicle enhances that even further. It’s incredibly quiet, exceptionally comfortable and allows us to showcase the region while reducing our environmental footprint. Sustainability and luxury can absolutely go hand in hand.”

Introducing the Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX

After extensive research, MYDRIVER Margaret River selected the Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX, Volkswagen’s flagship all-wheel-drive electric people mover and the modern successor to the iconic Kombi.

Combining distinctive styling with cutting-edge electric technology, the seven-seat luxury vehicle offers generous passenger space across all three rows, creating a comfortable and refined touring experience for couples, families and small groups.

The vehicle is powered by a 90kWh battery (86kWh usable) and supports ultra-fast charging at up to 200kW DC, allowing it to recharge from 10% to 80% in approximately 25 minutes. This makes longer journeys, including travel between Perth and Margaret River, both practical and convenient.

To further minimise environmental impact and operating costs, MYDRIVER Margaret River has installed a dedicated 7.4kW Type 2 charging station and joined Synergy’s EV Add-On Plan, charging the vehicle during off-peak periods using lower tariff electricity.

Enhancing the Luxury Tour Experience

Electric vehicles offer far more than environmental benefits.

With zero tailpipe emissions, significantly lower operating noise and exceptionally smooth performance, the ID. Buzz GTX creates a quieter, more relaxing journey through the vineyards, forests and coastline of the Margaret River region.

Guests can enjoy conversations, wine education and spectacular scenery without the noise and vibration associated with conventional vehicles, creating an even more immersive luxury touring experience.

As the owner and primary driver, Robert personally hosts the majority of MYDRIVER Margaret River’s private tours. His extensive knowledge of the region’s wineries, history and local producers allows guests to enjoy a genuinely personalised experience, with every itinerary tailored to their interests rather than following a fixed itinerary.

The addition of the electric vehicle also provides an opportunity to educate visitors about the benefits of sustainable transport and encourage greater awareness of environmentally responsible travel. By demonstrating how electric vehicles can comfortably handle regional touring, MYDRIVER Margaret River hopes to inspire more travellers to embrace greener transport choices in their own lives.

Building a More Sustainable Future

The tourism industry continues to evolve as travellers increasingly seek operators that align with their environmental values.

By investing in electric transport, MYDRIVER Margaret River is helping reduce carbon emissions while demonstrating that luxury tourism and sustainability can work hand in hand.

The company believes electric vehicles will play an increasingly important role in the future of regional tourism and is proud to be among the early adopters within the Margaret River tourism industry.

For Robert, sustainability is not simply about introducing a new vehicle—it’s about continually improving the way visitors experience one of Australia’s most celebrated wine regions while helping to preserve its natural beauty for generations to come.
