Hyundai is one of those manufacturers that know their EVs. The Ioniq family, with its 800V platform, has shown that electric cars can tick several boxes: fast charging, range and efficiency. Smaller market segments have been tackled with the Kona and, more recently, the Inster, the junior of this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Inster has covered almost 5,000 kilometers from Romania to the Alpine passes of Austria, Switzerland and Italy. One of its strengths? Low energy consumption, which you’ll see in the infographic below. It also scored a few points when it came to dynamic character (the model’s small mass scored well here too) and also made the most of its tiny dimensions when the road got really narrow on some of the mountain passes we crossed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyundai Inster by the numbers:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Total distance traveled:<\/strong> 4593 km<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Total charging stops:<\/strong> 21 sessions on the road + 6 overnight charges<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Total time spent while charging on the road:<\/strong> 11 hours and 47 minutes (707 minutes)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Total energy charged:<\/strong> 793.1 kWh, of which 213.6 kWh in hotels<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Total cost of charges (hotel charges were free):<\/strong> between \u20ac226 and \u20ac457.8<\/strong> (depending on the app used)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Fuel cost comparison (estimated per route):<\/strong>\n
      \n
    • A gasoline<\/strong> car of similar class (average fuel consumption est. 6.5 L\/100 km, average price \u20ac1.80\/L) would have generated costs of about \u20ac537.2.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Weighted average of the energy consumption over the whole route:<\/strong> 16.3 kWh\/100 km<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Weighted real average range<\/strong>: 287.9 km<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Important mention on the driving style:<\/strong> Throughout the entire test, the car was driven in “Normal” mode, never “Eco”. It drove steadily, within the speed limits, with an approach as close as possible to the legal speed limit on each road segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
