"Three Advantages I Discovered from Driving It"
Hello, I'm Double Look, an automotive influencer.
The Casper Electric is a compact SUV electric vehicle that combines practicality and economy, enjoying great popularity.
I've driven this electric car several times since its initial release,
and recently, during a long-term test drive, I discovered its true charm through various experiences.
Today, I'll share three advantages I discovered while driving the 2025 Casper Electric.
First, the driving range exceeded my expectations.
First, the driving range exceeded my expectations.
During my test drive of the 2025 Casper Electric Inspiration trim,
the official driving range is 196 miles (315 km).
However, since I drove it in warm spring weather, I was able to see the full charge showing a range of 275 miles (442 km).
The photo below shows the reading after a full charge using a slow charger,
and you can see the driving range displayed as 275 miles (442 km) in the bottom left corner, right?
On that day, I had a golf outing scheduled at the Hongcheon Cascadia CC, located 68 miles (110 km) from my home.
Since the driving range was quite long, I decided to take the Casper Electric for the trip to the golf course.
The 2025 Casper Electric Inspiration (15-inch) boasts a combined efficiency of 3.5 miles/kWh (5.6 km/kWh),
while its highway efficiency is lower at 3.0 miles/kWh (4.9 km/kWh).
Therefore, I anticipated that using the highway would reduce the driving range,
and estimated I could drive about 230 to 236 miles (370 to 380 km).
Even with a stop for dinner, I thought I could still manage to return from the golf course, and if I felt uneasy about the remaining charge after driving on the highway, I planned to charge at the golf course.
I found more electric vehicle chargers than I expected at the Hongcheon Cascadia CC,
and with the longer-than-expected driving range, I decided not to charge after some deliberation.
Despite using the highway, I achieved an actual efficiency of 3.9 miles/kWh (6.2 km/kWh), which exceeded the combined efficiency, so it wasn't necessary to charge.
This actual efficiency of 3.9 miles/kWh (6.2 km/kWh) matched the urban efficiency stated in the specifications.
Electric vehicle driving ranges determined under certification standards are set in the worst-case scenarios,
but on a pleasant day like this, without needing to run the air conditioning, the efficiency can only be good.
Still, as someone who only expected a range of 196 miles (315 km), the actual driving range of 275 miles (440 km) was unexpected.
Second, the trunk space was more generous than I expected.
Second, the trunk space was more generous than I expected.
The 2025 Casper Electric is 9 inches (230 mm) longer than the compact Casper,
making it a compact SUV electric vehicle with upgraded dimensions.
Many acquaintances mistakenly believe the Casper Electric is a compact car, but it is officially registered as a compact SUV.
The Casper Electric features a wheelbase of 101.6 inches (2,580 mm), which is 7 inches (180 mm) longer than the Casper,
and the trunk capacity has increased to 288 liters (7.6 cubic feet) from 470 liters (12.4 cubic feet).
With the expanded wheelbase and trunk space, I was able to fit a golf bag vertically when folding down the second row, making it possible for two people to play golf together.
The second row folds in a 50:50 split, and you can check out a short video clip of the golf bag loaded vertically.
Thanks to the increased space compared to the previous Casper, I can now enjoy various outdoor activities.

Third, the economic benefits increase the more you drive.

The 2025 Casper Electric offers economic benefits as a compact SUV electric vehicle.
On this day alone, I received toll discounts while traveling to and from the Hongcheon golf course,
and I also received a parking discount when I parked at a public parking lot near the dinner location.
As I am not yet an owner of a Casper Electric, I received unexpected discounts during my travels,
which felt like a pleasantly surprising economic benefit.
The next day, I visited Yeouido Park Golf Course to enjoy park golf,
and I received a 50% parking discount at the Han River Park parking lot.
During the long-term test drive, I parked at various locations and used the highway multiple times, and I felt that the benefits increased the more I drove.
These discount benefits, combined with the Casper Electric's high efficiency,
enhance the economic satisfaction for owners.
