Dyson recently confirmed they are developing a battery electric vehicle that is scheduled to hit the road in 2020 with an all-electric drivetrain. News of the electric car plan came out in a company-wide internal email sharing the original vision behind Dyson's cyclical motor design. With an aim to reduce global pollution, though a battery electric vehicle can seem like a stretch, the company is on track to make a positive environmental impact. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Battery Electric Vehicles:** The growing demand for environmentally friendly cars presents opportunities for companies to develop affordable electric vehicles and create long-term value. - **Clean Energy:** Investing in renewable energy and clean energy technology, such as batteries, presents new opportunities for businesses to create sustainable products and reduce carbon emissions. - **Disruptive Innovation:** Companies can seize the opportunity to disrupt traditional gasoline-powered car markets by developing new, innovative products that meet growing consumer demand for sustainable transportation options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can benefit from investing in research and development of battery electric vehicles to meet consumer demand for sustainable transportation options and to reduce global pollution. - **Clean Energy:** The clean energy industry can seize opportunities presented by the growing demand for renewable energy and battery technology to develop new products and services that can have positive environmental impacts. - **Technology:** Technology companies can leverage their expertise in electronics and software to develop new electric vehicle technologies, including autonomous driving capabilities, to meet growing consumer demand for sustainable, high-tech transportation solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automotive-Targeted Vacuum Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyson-carboat.md) - [Household Chore-Completing Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-prototypes.md) - [Lithium-Ion EV Batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/britishvolt.md) - [Inaugural Tech Brand Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreame-technology-hypercar.md) - [Retro Electric Buggies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meyers-manx-ev.md) - [Powerful Alternative Electric Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drako.md) - [Strict Low-Emission EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avinya.md) - [Multi-Condition Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/callum-skye-ev.md) - [Bespoke Electric Vehicle Startups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-fisker-ocean.md)
