History[edit | edit source]

The INDI EV electric car company was founded by Chinese businessman Shi Hai, who had previously worked in the Chinese mobile games industry.[1][2]

The Indi One was announced on October 14th, 2021 as an electric car with a gaming computer built in.[1] This computer was considered the primary distinguishing feature of the vehicle in a market saturated by EV startups.[3]

Technology[edit | edit source]

VIC[edit | edit source]

The company named the computer VIC, which is short for "Vehicle Integrated Computer".[3] Though the company touted the VIC as a supercomputer, these claims were dismissed by the media.[3]

The VIC uses an unspecified Intel Core i7 CPU, and an NVIDIA RTX 2080 GPU.[1] Windows is used as an Operating System.[3]

The car was said to support VR.[4]

Battery[edit | edit source]

The car has a battery with a capacity of 95 kilowatt hours.[5]
