Dyson, the vacuum cleaner manufacturer, is developing an electric car – very few details are available, except:
● a single paragraph (since withdrawn) in a UK government document, saying that the government will provide some funding
● Dyson bought Sakti3, a company which has developed battery technology James Dyson described as, “breakthrough” – new battery technologies are announced every week,1 but almost none of them are bought up by an established, engineering driven, international company
