All I know, that I'd never trade in my Roomba for a Dyson. ]]>Jun 25th 2008 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/dyson-looking-to-motor-into-the-electric-car-arena/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/dyson-looking-to-motor-into-the-electric-car-arena/Jun 25th 2008 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/dyson-looking-to-motor-into-the-electric-car-arena/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/dyson-looking-to-motor-into-the-electric-car-arena/If you had used say an old Kirby or a Orec then the Dyson was less impressive, especially at the price point of 4x what most people where spending on average.
They simply grew the image of the vacuum from being a plastic thing in the cupboard under the stairs to a "iconic" design that every housewife must have so that she can tell everyone how she has one.

And a little flame bait :)

the two key problems with electric cars are that there's still pollution - you just move it to the power station; the second is the battery, which means for long range you need to carry portable energy (dead dinosaurs in the form of oil or gas) and have an internal combustion engine and generator.

You fix problem number two by using a fuel cell hydrogen powerplant. Large batteries are not required, as electricity is generated on the fly.
