Hyundai Motors has opened pre-orders for the Inster compact electric vehicle (EV) in South Korea starting at 31.5 million won ($22,772). The model was unveiled late last month at the Busan Mobility Show.
This introductory price is revealed without any EV tax benefits. However, the car can only get these incentives once the eco-friendly vehicle registration is completed and it could take the price down to 29.9 million won ($21,616).
However, Hyundai expects this model to go down even further at 20 million won ($14,450) with government and local government subsidies. This price would be super affordable for people who want to fetch a new electric car.
