Hyundai to Launch Affordable Casper EV in Europe
Priced around €20,000, the Casper EV aims to shake up the European electric vehicle market with its competitive pricing and range.
- Hyundai is set to launch the Casper EV, an affordable electric vehicle, in Europe by the end of the year, priced around €20,000 ($21,500).
- The Casper EV, a mini SUV, aims to compete with Tesla and Volkswagen in the European market, featuring a lithium iron phosphate battery with a range of 125-187 miles.
- Initially available in South Korea with a gasoline engine, the Casper will now be offered with an electric powertrain in Europe.
- Hyundai's entry into the affordable EV market in Europe is part of a broader strategy to expand its electric vehicle portfolio and regain market share.
- The Casper EV may benefit from EV subsidies in France, potentially reducing its price further, although it will be manufactured in South Korea.
