Content This WREC Global Information Session on Electric Mobility in Humanitarian Operations explored how electric vehicles can meet operational needs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower costs. Sharing practical insights UNDP and ICRC shared practical lessons on integrating vehicles with energy systems, assessing suitable routes and securing reliable charging and local after-sales support. Speakers stressed that organisations should compare total ownership costs and life-cycle environmental impacts using local evidence, address infrastructure and training needs before procurement, and monitor performance through regular use. The discussion highlighted opportunities for shared charging and wider adoption, while recognising that vehicle range, repair capacity, electricity reliability and operating conditions require context-specific decisions.
