Strengthening U.S. Global Leadership in Electric Vehicle Supply Chains Through AI-Driven Fintech Innovation: A Comprehensive Interdisciplinary Analysis

Abstract

This study examines how artificial intelligence (AI) and fintech innovation can strengthen U.S. leadership in electric vehicle (EV) supply chains. As global competition intensifies among major economies—particularly the United States, China, and the European Union—the United States must enhance supply-chain resilience, battery sourcing security, infrastructure financing, and advanced manufacturing competitiveness. The paper proposes a comprehensive AI-driven fintech framework integrating five core pillars: predictive analytics, blockchain traceability, digital twins, embedded finance, and intelligent risk management. Drawing upon recent interdisciplinary research in AI applications, healthcare analytics, supply-chain optimization, EV adoption behavior, charging infrastructure deployment, and financial transformation, the study argues that AI-enabled financial ecosystems can substantially improve capital allocation, operational efficiency, sustainability performance, and national competitiveness. The findings suggest that coordinated investments in AI, clean energy technologies, fintech infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing can reinforce U.S. economic leadership while simultaneously accelerating the global transition toward sustainable mobility. Policy recommendations, industry implications, and future research directions are discussed.
