Remote And Hybrid Work In The Ev Industry Statistics 2026

Gartner forecasts that by 2025, 80% of enterprise meeting collaboration will be managed by SaaS providers. EV teams depend on that shift to coordinate service, design, and field support across distributed locations. The broader adoption of remote and hybrid work also shows measurable tradeoffs in satisfaction and security, including 61% of employees working remotely at least some of the time during the pandemic.

Key Takeaways
