You don't have to trust anything, but it seems like you trust all these products are safe without doing any research or testing for yourself. And since I have (and clearly you have not) you want to s**t over all the links, equipment and methodology used without providing anything of value.

Hope you don't own a Fitbit. Maybe you have ceiling fans that use IR remotes or physical switches, not RF remotes. Be cautious of all remotes in the house, too, along with any video game systems, stereo receivers, or your DVR. Your dog might even have a ping-able microchip! Hope no one drives past your house with their blind-spot monitors emitting RF. Don't stand near any car as it parks or you might get splashed by its ultrasonic parking sensor's deathrays. Take it from a licensed RF engineer, man. You can't escape simple RF bouncing through your windows from every which source, even if it's not 'high power'. Getting gaslit by the RF-equivalent of a Fisher Price children's phone is just as unhealthy as sitting on top of some EV batteries as every car around you washes you with RF from their blind spot systems, safety systems, and adaptive cruise control.

On the flipside, I can go turn off my wifi and go into an closet and get a low/no reading. Quote:

You know what's funny - people who have one ZERO research on any of this, telling people who have tested it (including the videos I posted with much more expensive equipment than mine) that there is nothing wrong. I'm not stopping you by from putting microwaves in your brain - but don't mock me because I don't want to.

I just noticed - these two guys were located in CA - I'm not surprised they would tear down any type of concerns that effect their precious EVs.
For everyone else - I wouldn't drive an EV, and sure as hell wouldn't be in one while it's charging.

I'll say a thing about mobile phones in that when it is on me it is switched OFF, I turn it on say every hour to catch any messages then it goes off again and in the car it goes in the glove box switched on that I can still make or receive a call hands free.

As far as EV's are concerned there is another 'fools rush in where angels fear to tread' which stands out in red letters to me. |

I'll get us back on track. I see no point to buying an expensive vehicle that has a low range vs. recharge ratio, especially since the ratio is significantly variable dependent upon the weather. None of that is fear, rather its just common sense.

Engineering jokes don't go over so well; I was pretty much being sarcastic. I doubt there is any real concern with magnetic fields in any EV.

And that's where I fall in line with y'all: range anxiety that's only alleviated by Level3 DC charging (which will incrementally degrade the battery), exacerbated by the fear of charging past 80% repeatedly at home, all to protect the value of a depreciating asset. It's easy for me to consider a brand new EV, with a warranty, in sunny California where temperature doesn't have any effect on my supposed car. I could charge to 80% every night at home, nice and slow at 240V, for 24 cents a kWh. But I can't imagine what I'd do if I was renting an apartment, still, and only had access to fast charging, which probably costs similar if not more than gas, while knowingly harming my car. Nor what I'd do if I were in Canada, watching my estimated range get nerfed for more than half the year. I don't hop in the Miata and romp on it until it's warmed up; can't expect the average consumer to not experience anxiety about knowingly (or blissfully ignoring) that they're slowly killing their capacity. All valid concerns. But we differ from where to go from there: I always think it makes more sense to continue to experience and see these issues as a form of progress; it's not a reason to stop here.

EV battery outgassing is so fast and lethal, you literally don't have time to pull over and get out. I suspect this is one reason why EV car fires kill more people than a 1971 shitbox Pinto. You can really see it in all the Chyna scooter in an apartment outgas ignition vids. Now imagine you have your kids strapped in their car seats, how horrible.

I'd be much more worried about a Tesla's FSD/Driver assists mistaking something solid than the EM in a car. Though with latest news from Tesla about head count reduction I'd be even less inclined to buy one - I think probably you'd have to pay me to take it and not expect much use (but then I've driven about 5,000 miles since 2020) |
