TBF any compact fridge will likely have higher running costs because part of what makes them compact is way less insulation, otherwise their internal volume would be way too small for most people to accept.

A big part of what makes a deep freeze efficient is that the opening is at the top.
There are refrigerated coolers out there, which have essentially the same structure in miniature.
You still have cheapo compressors, insufficient or bad foam (some foams embrittle when exposed to sealed car temperatures, I don't know if that affects the R value but I wouldn't be surprised), but at least you can fix the seal, and have a form factor people are still familiar with.
