It’s pretty early in 2019 to be calling the tech trends, but we’re pretty sure of two things: there are going to be a range of folding phones on coffeeshop tables before the year is out, and there are going to be a more electric vehicles (EVs) in parking lots. Sure, we’ve had the Nissan Leaf and BMW’s quirky i3 for years, but sightings of them are pretty rare, and they’re not SUVs. Next week Jaguar launches its I-Pace electric SUV, and this week, Mercedes-Benz confirmed we’ll be able to buy its all-electric EQC before year-end. You can make your own Eskom jokes, because we’re better than that.
