The Kia PV5 Cargo electric van, originally intended for commercial use, has gained popularity for conversion into campers. A key factor is a subsidy that CAN reduce the final price to 20-25 million won (approx. $15-18k), about half the cost of an average electric car in South Korea. Owners legally remove the partition between the cab and cargo area and outfit the space with a sleeping platform, though limitations include the lack of a built-in air conditioner and a capacity for only two people.
