Introducing the Casper Electric
Hold on to your steering wheels! Hyundai has just rolled out the 2026 Casper Electric, their cheapest entry-level electric SUV, also known as the Inster EV in some corners of the globe. With a starting price of about $20,000 (and possible discounts putting it closer to $15,000), this little beauty knows how to make your wallet happy and your eco-conscience too!

Packing Features Without Breaking the Bank
The Casper Electric isn’t just a pretty face. This SUV boasts a “robust design” coupled with modern technology that makes it an attractive option for both new and seasoned EV enthusiasts. Hyundai has equipped it with a 10.25″ navigation screen, anti-glare rearview mirror, and even an LED sun visor lamp to keep your ride bright. Not to forget, safety is no joke, with features like highway driving assist making their debut on the Inspiration trim. Talk about an electric vehicle that cares!
The Demand is Electric!
In its first full sales month, the Casper Electric became Hyundai’s top-selling EV in Korea. Even with a budget price tag, the demand is high, causing buyers to wait over a year for delivery. So why the hype? With a driving range of up to 196 miles (or 315 km), this SUV easily balances affordability with functionality. And if you act fast, snagging an introductory model comes with benefits that could make any car enthusiast giddy, such as a snazzy leather key case worth more than the car itself—are they serious?
