Look Out Tesla: Dyson Secures Testing Facility To Develop New EV Vehicles

Dyson – maker of cool fans and vacuum cleaners – is doing an electric car. And this is where said car is going to be developed.

The company’s new campus at Hullavington Airfield in Wiltshire has already had £85million spent on it, but “Phase Two” of its development will see an extra £200million spent on handling, rural and off-road test tracks, a skid-pan, a high-speed runway and several new buildings. 400 members of its automotive team have already moved in, and when it’s done the site will be able to accommodate 2,000 workers.

An EV would make sense for Dyson as counter-intuitive as it might sound. They already have expertise in electric motors and batteries, including solid state. They have a known brand and manufacturing expertise as well.
