This paper presents a comprehensive review of the challenges and opportunities in designing ethical Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems and integrating Electric Vehicles (EVs) within humanitarian engineering and development contexts. Utilizing a systematic literature review, this research synthesizes current knowledge on AI ethics frameworks, AI applications in disaster management, EV capabilities in emergency response, and the environmental and social impacts of EV supply chains. Key findings highlight the critical need for culturally sensitive, transparent, and accountable AI deployment to mitigate bias and privacy risks. Concurrently, the transformative potential of EVs as mobile power sources and resilient transport in underserved regions is underscored. This paper proposes an integrated ethical framework to address the compounded risks and synergies of these technologies. Recommendations emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration, robust governance, and sustainable supply chain practices to ensure AI and EVs contribute equitably to global development and humanitarian efforts.
