Electric cars sound like the perfect opportunity for any company to become a multi-billion dollar business. The problem is that most startups fail to present a credible case. Most stick to CGI and bold claims that never materialize. Independent Electric Vehiclemade its debut with a working prototype and a team behind it, but The Verge discovered that its founder is a pretty controversial character.
Indi is a brand new name on the electric vehicle scene, but the company founded in 2017 believes it has found a niche that other automakers are not in yet.
California EV startup IndiEV has emerged from four years of operating in stealth mode to reveal its first electric car prototype, which has a built-in gaming PC and other wild elements. But the startup is being cagey about its funding and history and has a very long road ahead.
