I can only estimate the Indy One will use 100 watts per mile, which is 1/3 that of a Tesla Model S, it weighs 1/3 less and has 1/3 less air resistance, so it would get the equivalent of about 330 MPG.
This is 10kwh for a 100 miles. Electricity costs vary, at California residential average of $0.15/kwh, a 100 mile e-fillup would cost $1.50.
So if you drive 10,000 miles a year, at 30 mpg, you would buy 330 gallons,
at $4/gallon is $1,332 in fuel cost. If my estimate is correct, the electricity cost for this year driving the indy one instead would be $150.
Note that using a Nissan Leaf 24kwh battery pack, the Indy One would have a range of 240 miles.
