Upgrade Electric Vehicle Charging
BackgroundThe Palais has 32 electric vehicle (EV) charging points which do not allow UNOG to charge users for the electricity consumed. After a period of making charging available to users of the Palais for free, most had to be closed in 2023 as the model was not financially sustainable. Only some of them still operate for UN vehicles.
ScopeThe EV charging infrastructure would be upgraded to allow staff, delegates and visitors to conveniently recharge their electric vehicles and pay for their personal electricity consumption.
Impact
Support sustainable commuting and reduce local greenhouse gas and air pollution emissions.
Support key strategic objectives of the host country & host city (10% of vehicles to be electric, 50% to 60 % reduction in air and greenhouse gas pollution by 2030).
