The paper "The Electric Vehicle Supply Chain Ecosystem: Changing Roles of Automotive Suppliers" by Sandeep Jagani, Erika Marsillac, and Paul Hong explores the evolving automotive industry due to the increasing adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs). The authors review literature and industry reports to investigate the transition towards EVs and the subsequent supply chain transformation, focusing on the changing roles of automotive suppliers. They assess these transformations from economic, environmental, and strategic viewpoints, examining the impact on supplier relationships, OEM collaboration, and the potential for new entrants to disrupt the market. The paper proposes strategies for suppliers to navigate this transformation and ensure competitiveness in the evolving EV landscape. It also discusses opportunities and challenges in EV supply chain research, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of the complex ecosystem. The study highlights the importance of adapting to new materials, manufacturing processes, and OEM expectations, and the role of suppliers in driving innovation and sustainability. The paper concludes with a discussion on the gap between ecosystem evolution and market acceptance, the challenges in transitioning from ICE to EV supply chains, and the transformative impact of AI on the EV supply chain ecosystem.The paper "The Electric Vehicle Supply Chain Ecosystem: Changing Roles of Automotive Suppliers" by Sandeep Jagani, Erika Marsillac, and Paul Hong explores the evolving automotive industry due to the increasing adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs).
