The development of electromobility represents a transformative change in transportation systems with profound economic, environmental, and social implications. Effective leadership in this area requires not only technical knowledge but also critical thinking skills to evaluate economic viability, policy frameworks, and sustainability outcomes. This paper examines how economics and management students perceive, understand, and critically evaluate the challenges and opportunities associated with electromobility, with a focus on preparing them for future leadership positions in the field of sustainable transport. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 163 students of the Faculty of Business Management at the Bratislava University of Economics and Business. The questionnaire explores students’ understanding of electromobility from economic, technological, policy, and sustainability perspectives. It assesses their confidence in analysing the financial viability of electromobility projects, evaluating government policies, and considering technological innovation and supply chain impacts. The survey also examines students’ ability to critically appraise environmental and social implications, consumer demand, regional differences, and the integration of electromobility into sustainable urban development. Finally, it investigates the perceived effectiveness of university education in preparing students for real-world challenges in scaling and managing electromobility solutions. The findings highlight the key role of university education in equipping students with the analytical and decision-making skills needed for leadership in sustainable transport. By incorporating critical thinking, interdisciplinary knowledge, and practical examples into the curriculum and courses of the Faculty of Business Management, Bratislava University of Economics and Business, it will ensure that future graduates in economics and management will not only be knowledgeable but also capable of driving innovation in transport and implementing sustainable strategies. The paper concludes that fostering these skills is crucial for preparing graduates to navigate the complexities of sustainable transportation systems, drive innovation, and contribute effectively to the global transition toward electromobility.
