Abstract: This study explores the main challenges and opportunities of electrifying public transport in Mexico City from the perspective of key stakeholders. A structured discussion was conducted with public, private, and academic experts. Their responses were analysed thematically and organized into five analytical axes: regulatory-institutional, technological-operational, social, economic-financial, and environmental. The findings highlight the need for a coherent legal framework, robust infrastructure, innovative financing, social inclusion, and integration with renewable energy sources. The study adopts a systemic perspective of electromobility, emphasising that electrification involves not only vehicles but also governance, supply chains, and equity. The analysis contributes practical insights and proposes future research lines on circular economy, battery lifecycle, collaborative governance, and financial sustainability, offering valuable input for urban transport policy and sustainable mobility planning in Latin America.

Keywords: battery lifecycle management; circular economy in transport; collaborative governance; electric mobility; electrification of public transport; financial sustainability in mobility; gender inclusion in mobility planning; renewable energy integration; stakeholder perspectives; sustainable urban transport.
