Uptake of EV cars will largely be an S-curve, and average length of car ownership is a bit less than a decade. As people get a new car they're increasingly more likely to get an EV. I would not be surprised if we hit 60-70% EV cars b

Back then in 2017 it wasn't that common for people to have a foldable laptop stand in their bags. Nowadays I would expect more people to be using something like a Roost stand or Nexstand. Especially if they regularly work from random
