Hyundai unveiled the Casper Electric in June at the Busan International Mobility Show in South Korea.

The new low-cost EV stole the show with a compact but still functional design. Despite its small size, Hyundai expects it to have a significant impact with its “potential to accelerate the popularization of electric vehicles.”

Hyundai opened Casper EV pre-orders in its home market with starting prices at just $22,800 (31.5 million won).

With government incentives, Hyundai said the entry-level “Inspiration” model can be bought for as little as $14,500 (20 million won).

The new EV is “the most attractive choice” for many buyers looking to go electric, according to Hyundai. With a 49 kWh battery, Hyundai’s Casper Electric has up to 195 miles (315 km) range on a single charge.

“The bad news is that Hyundai is not expected to launch the Casper (Inster) EV in the US.”

So tired of car companies who only want to sell giant expensive cars in the US.
