You may not listen to AM radio – which for the generations preceding the Millennials was what many of us listened to on lonesome road trips out in the sparsely populated areas of the country, where FM signals couldn’t reach but AM signals could.

But you might be interested in why AM is going away.

t is because EMF (Electromagnetic Frequency) emissions – to borrow a popular word – interfere with AM reception to such an extent as to make listening to anything being broadcast via AM essentially impossible. The manufacturers of electric vehicles don’t want complaints from customers annoyed by a feature that doesn’t work – and can’t be made to work, at least not properly.

So they – Tesla, Audi, Porsche, VW and now Ford – have simply deleted AM, eliminating that potential problem.

But what about the underlying problem? The reason why AM broadcast reception is a problem in electric vehicles? Has anyone looked into whether an EV’s EMF emissions are – to borrow a phrase – safe and effective?

It is known that, as a general principle, too much EMF radiation isn’t good for your health. It is why people are advised to not hold a smartphone against their heads, for instance. This caution is interesting given that an electric car can be considered a massive smartphone. Like a smartphone, it is constantly emitting EMF radiation, only more of it – and you are inside it.

How much EMF is being emitted by electric cars? Inside electric cars? One tester found a consistently pulsing as much as 100 milliwatts of EMG energy bathing him, within his Tesla electric car. This being comparable to what a smartphone emits. Or a microwave ove.

The difference being one cannot avoid being bathed with the EMF inside a car broadcasting it without getting away from the car – os standing back from the oven. Driving an EMF-emitting EV can be thought of as having a conventional, gas powered car with its tailpipe inside the car.
