Dyson Expanding From Vacuum Cleaners To EV Car Market

Dyson is developing an electric car at its headquarters in Wiltshire with help from public money, according to government documents.

The company, which makes a range of products that utilise the sort of highly efficient motors needed for an electric car such as vacuum cleaners, hand dryers and bladeless fans, last year refused to rule out rumours it was building one.

But on Wednesday, the government appeared to have accidentally disclosed Dyson is working on one, along with other big companies outside of the automotive industry, such as Apple.

Anything that Dyson develops will run on suction. Their product have midget motors that turn at ultra high RPM's that ensure premature failure. I returned my Dyson and will never succumb to their glitz techno advertisement nonsense.

Seems ironic, a company known for producing energy intensive products, is interested in conservation.
