Indigo Flow And Flow Plus Introduced, Feature Central Driver’s Seat And 250+ Miles Of Range

After a rocky few weeks, CES is officially underway and Indigo has used the event to unveil two new electric vehicles.

Named the Flow and Flow Plus, the models are designed to be spacious and affordable EVs for the rideshare and delivery market.

The company didn’t say much about the models, but one is a streamlined delivery van while the other is a sleek passenger transport. Both feature a similar design, but the passenger-focused model has rear windows and a massive panoramic glass roof.

We can also see large sliding doors, digital side mirrors, and slender headlights. They’re joined by plastic body cladding, pronounced wheel arches, and full-width brake lights.

Moving into the cabin, there’s a central driver’s seat and a high-tech digital instrument cluster that flows into adjacent displays. The model also sports a three-spoke steering wheel, plenty of storage space, and what appears to be a wireless smartphone charger.

Indigo didn’t go into many specifics, but said the models are equipped with a 40 kWh battery pack that will allow for a range in excess of 250 miles (402 km) on a single charge. The Flows are also equipped with the company’s “robotic wheels,” which are billed as the “world’s first all-in-one powertrain with simultaneous in-wheel electric propulsion and [an] electric active suspension.” Each apparently produces 30 hp (22 kW / 30 PS) and 184 lb-ft (250 Nm) of torque.

CEO Will Graylin explained their benefit as he said, “Without the transmission and motor between the wheels, [the] Indigo Flow has a low, flat floor that provides more cargo space than any vehicle of its size. And the active suspension in each wheel makes for an amazing ride comfort at an affordable price that people will love.”
