Dyson set to unveil early stages of electric car

Inventor Sir James Dyson is set to reveal plans to build electric cars in Britain today, it is understood. His hi-tech firm, famed for its vortex vacuum cleaner, hand-dryers and bladeless fans, has been recruiting talent from the car and technology industry. Today it is thought Dyson will unveil the early stages of an electric vehicle which could be built at its headquarters in Malmesbury, Wiltshire. Expectations about what Dyson was developing mounted after mainstream car makers accelerated their plans for electric vehicles. Mini revealed its own all-electric vehicle ahead of this month's Frankfurt Motor Show.
