Great Gadgets for Working in Your Vehicle

Remote work has become very common in the 2020s, freeing so many employees to work from almost anywhere. The freedom of flexibility comes with so many opportunities. Your office could be your couch, kitchen table, or a dedicated room in your house. You could go to a coworking space, a coffee shop, a bookstore, or a library. But many workers are embracing the convenience of working from their cars. 

Built-in technology, minimal distractions, and the ability to go anywhere easily make your vehicle a great mobile office. But these gadgets will make it easier to take advantage of those benefits.

Steering Wheel Desk

The Hall Acura Virginia Beach team considers this a car essential all the time. This simple desk is easy to store and hooks onto your steering wheel while you’re parked to give you a desk for your laptop, a notebook, or even your lunch.

Portable Power Station

These power stations come in many different sizes and capacities, based on your needs. We suggest getting one that can charge your laptop a couple of times and maybe your phone as well. You can recharge the power station using the 12v outlet in your vehicle to stay connected anywhere. 

USB Fan

The great thing about your vehicle is that the HVAC unit is always available. However, you can get a portable fan if you don’t want to risk running out your vehicle’s battery or making it idle for too long! These fans can be recharged or plugged into that power station we mentioned before, giving you a comfortable breeze and some much-needed air movement.

Small Cooler

Working from home has the excellent benefit of always having your favorite snacks and beverages; you don’t have to give that up to work from your vehicle. Just get a small cooler and add some of your favorites. As a bonus, you can freeze a few water bottles for ice packs. Once they thaw out, you’ll be able to enjoy refreshingly cold water.

File Organizer

You can get file organizers that fit on the back of the front passenger seat, making it easy to stay organized and reach all your files easily. A spare notebook, some pens, and your laptop or phone charger will always be within your reach. Some of these organizers can even hold your laptop, keeping it safe while you’re driving.

Tinted Windows

This one is a bit of a modification but will always benefit you—not just when you’re working. Tinted windows add privacy as well as protect your interior from the sun. Ceramic tint can block up to 100% of the sun’s rays, keeping your interior cooler and in better condition for longer.
