Abstract

This study provides a mapping of the current state of electromobility education in Mexico, aiming to identify gaps and opportunities in developing specialized talent for the energy transition and sustainable mobility. A scoping review was conducted using a structured methodological framework, involving searches across official platforms, academic institutions, and government sources, with specific criteria to select programs related to electric vehicle technology and sustainable transport. The results reveal a concentration of programs in the northern and central industrial regions, while southern and southeastern areas remain underrepresented, creating territorial disparities. Additionally, specialized programs were identified, alongside gaps in emerging areas such as battery recycling, renewable energy integration, and policy and regulatory training. The review highlights that, although Mexico has a substantial workforce, there are significant deficiencies in advanced, innovation-oriented training, limiting the country’s participation in more specialized segments of global EV value chains. It is concluded that strengthening academia–industry collaboration, expanding curricula in strategic domains, and investing in postgraduate education and research are essential steps to support a more inclusive and sustainable electromobility transition.
