The all-new model is being developed by 400 staff at its HQ in Malmesbury, Wiltshire.
Further work will take place at a nearby former RAF base with staff moving in next February.
A factory has yet to be chosen but the battery-powered car will be on sale after 2020.
Company founder Sir James Dyson told staff in an e-mail: "Competition for new technology in the automotive industry is fierce and we must do everything we can to keep the specifics of our vehicle confidential."
Dyson has had an ambition to develop an electric car since 1998 but was rejected by the industry.
Sir James also pursued car makers to fit cyclone exhausts to cut emissions in the 90s but was met with resistance.

If they are anything like the vacs they’ll be outrageously priced.
Will it vacuum the roads with cyclone technology?
He is the guy who should be building the “hyperloop.” It sucks the air out of the tube so the vehicles can move without air friction.
If he isn’t subsidized by Fed.gov or state governments, I’ll consider buying one.
Will it be sold door to door and will it fit in a closet?
Another Musk wannabe. Dyson will go down the money pit.
It will be marketed is the “Dyson Sphere“…
The batteries will power immense fans that suck air in the front & expel it out the back, that’s providing propulsion……
It’s aimed at the type of consumer that buys the top of the line dyson cleaners.
Yeah, unlike the “zero emmisions” teslas. Right? Uh, where ya gonna dump that battery bud? ;-)
You’ll never have to vacuum the interior or your car again.
With or without billions in tax dollars.. I know it’s not America taxpayers, so I am just curious.
Will there be a tariff to protect Tessa’s heavily subsidized US taxpayer darling?
LOL. Is that thing sweeping or laying down a new layer of dust?
I guess by then the new status symbol cliche for the weathly will be "If you dont drive a Dyson then your life sucks"
No but it probably will suck
It’s cleaning up the environment for all of us...so we have clean air to breathe. There’s no money to clean these things up because it was all spent fighting that clear and odorless “pollutant” CO2.
And THAT is why they’re fleecing you for their vacs, etc.
Dyson vacuums?
Expensive, yes.
Fleecing prices? That would be up to the consumer, but my wife loves ours as it vacuums like none other we’ve had.
