Hyundai is launching two new electric cars in Europe, a low-cost EV and new IONIQ model

Baua Electric

Hyundai is launching two new electric vehicles in Europe, including a low-cost EV and a new IONIQ model, to boost its market share in the region. The CASPER costs around $15,000 in its home market, so a sub-25,000 euro ($27,000) starting price for the EV is expected. Despite talk of an “EV slowdown,” Hyundai is charging ahead.
