That sucks!

Turns out it was just a lot of hot air.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke ( with comiserations to those regular folk who may lose their jobs )

I wonder if their solid state battery tech turned out to be hopeless.

See? Proof, if proof were needed - no one wants electric cars. Suck it up.

there was no solid investment plan behind Dyson's dream of building an EV, he was not capable of doing this alone and who was willing to invest billions in a new EV manufacture alone.

who would have thunk an electric vehicle made by a british vacuum company wouldn't amount to much?

But think of how clean the roads would be !

Well, no-one wants a £100k+ EV made by a company famous for making overpriced and under-performing vacuum cleaners I agree.

I think he underestimated the mainstream manufacturers. He thought he would be behind Tesla but years ahead of the rest.

The mainstream caught up very quickly and removed his niche. I expect he will cut his losses and sell anything of any interest to the chinese.
