When Speed Sucks - The Quiet History of Vacuum Cleaner EVs

01 Oct 2025 | Abstracted from EVWorld.com

Three vacuum cleaner companies—Henney, Dyson, and Dreame—each tried to build electric vehicles. Henney's Kilowatt (1959) was a 60-mile-range utility EV built on Renault gliders. Dyson's N526 SUV promised 600 miles and luxury tech but was canceled after £500M due to cost. Dreame now aims to launch a Bugatti-style hypercar by 2027. All pursued innovation through motor expertise, but only Dreame's dream still lives.
