• Analyze the global market and acknowledge industry insights.

Responsibilities:
Under the guidance and supervision of the Programme manager of the relevant portfolio, the E-Vehicles Technical Specialist provides global e-vehicle industry insights, technical evaluation for e-vehicles, and other relevant work in the following areas:

1. E-Mobility Technical Advisory & Project Support
   •    Provide expert guidance on e-mobility solutions (e-vehicles, charging infrastructure, fleet electrification, and micro-mobility) for UNDP projects, from design to implementation.
   •    Advise on integration of e-mobility with renewable energy and smart urban planning in policy dialogues, workshops, and pilot projects.
   •    Develop technical standards for e-mobility procurement (RFI/RFQ/ITB), ensuring alignment with sustainability and accessibility goals.
   •    Serve as UNDP’s technical authority on e-mobility, bridging gaps between global best practices and local contexts.
2. Market Analysis & Innovative Solutions
   •    Conduct global and regional e-mobility assessments, identifying trends (e.g., battery tech, shared mobility) and risks (e.g., grid capacity, mineral sourcing).
   •    Benchmark e-mobility vendors, policies, and business models (e.g., battery swapping, EV leasing) to recommend scalable solutions for developing countries.
   •    Design financing strategies (e.g., green bonds, pay-as-you-go models) to accelerate e-mobility adoption in underserved communities.
   •    Evaluate cross-cutting technologies (renewable energy integration, smart charging, circular battery systems) for SDG impact.
   •    Ensure projects comply with emissions standards, energy efficiency norms, and equitable access principles.
3. Strategic Partnerships & SDG Alignment
   •    Advise on e-mobility solutions that advance SDG 7 (Energy Access), SDG 9 (Sustainable Transport), and SDG 11 (Inclusive Cities).
   •    Build partnerships with governments, private sector (e.g., OEMs, utilities), and academia to scale UNDP’s e-mobility portfolio.
   •    Lead knowledge-sharing initiatives (e.g., South-South exchanges) on inclusive e-mobility policies and gender-responsive design.
   •    Support fundraising efforts by drafting technical proposals and demonstrating e-mobility’s socio-economic co-benefits (jobs, air quality, etc.).
   •    Advocate for pro-poor e-mobility policies (e.g., subsidies for electric buses, rickshaws) and address barriers (grid reliability, affordability).
