Can the Inster challenge the established small EVs with range and charging speed?
by Ashutoshover 1 year ago0 views7 comments
Hyundai Inster is entering a market where small electric vehicles are getting ever more competitive in terms of range and charging capability. The Inster wants to offer city friendly size with practical usability for longer trips, with its 49kWh battery option and 85kW DC fast charging as standard. But where does it sit in relation to other more well established players in the small EV market, such as the Mini Electric, the Fiat 500e and even more sizeable cars like the Volkswagen ID.3? All in all, range in the real world, across various driving conditions, charging network compatibility and value proposition further accounting for range and charger speed vs price are factors to be considered. The debate also involves whether the Inster's range and charging specs are enough for the Inster's intended use as largely a city car with the occasional longer trips.

It’s disappointing that there’s no larger battery option. Those that need it should get a long range version.

I really care about efficiency. If it gets more miles out of that 49kWh than its rivals, it could be a winner.

It’s perfect for a second car or pure city runabout. Not all EVs have to be long range cruisers.

It's lagging behind. While the ID.3 has way more range and faster charging. Hyundai just isn’t cutting it.

For me, the charging speed is more important than the range, 85kW is enough for a quick top up on longer journeys.

I think it’s competitive for its size and price point. A city car doesn't need 300 miles of range, not everyone does.

The 49kWh battery feels small, but the 85kW charging is decent. For city use it's fine, but I'd be worried on longer trips.
