The Indi One is a battery electric compact crossover SUV developed by Indi EV.

Overview

Rear view

The Indi One was presented for the first time in mid-October 2021 as a result of a 4-year construction process initiated by the creation of the Indi startup in 2017 in Los Angeles, California.[1]

The stylist Andre Hudson[2] was responsible for the stylistic design of the car, giving the One its characteristic, futuristic proportions in the style of the so-called Coupe SUVs with a gently sloping roofline and wide LED lighting panels covering the entire width of the body. The two-tone exterior paintwork is matched to large 22-inch alloy wheels. According to the manufacturer's declaration, the crossover was technically equipped with the so-called supercomputer supporting, among others software controlling the propulsion system.[3]

Indi started collecting orders for its first car in the first months of 2022,[4] of which the first copies are to be delivered not earlier than in 2023.[5] The prices at which the range of variants of the One are to be available are expected to be between $45,000 and $65,000.[1] In October 2022, the Taiwanese company Foxconn announced that the production of the One would take place at the Lordstown Assembly at Lordstown, Ohio.[6] However, these plans did not come into fruition due to the bankruptcy of Indi EV in October 2023.[7]

Specifications

The One is a fully electric four-wheel drive vehicle. The battery has a capacity of 95 kWh, allowing drivers travel up to 275 mi (443 km) on a single charge. The vehicle is equipped with a fast charging function.[8]
