The new Tesla model S; a 520 mile range on a charge, and 0 to 60 mph in 2 seconds.

electric cars could be a big problem in time ,,as some years ago there was a concern about the pylons that carried the electric cables were a cause of cancer ,,,just saying

by the way all electric cars produce EMF that can be harmful

So does an electric vacuum cleaner, but so far no one has ever been affected by EMF from their hoover or Dyson lol
"In-vehicle measurements

“In our project,” says project coordinator Andreas Vogl of Stiftelsen SINTEF, “we wanted to investigate EMFs in fully electric vehicles, see if there are reasons for concern and, if so, find ways to address them and introduce measures to reduce magnetic field exposure.”

To do so, the partners took measurements in 11 vehicles – 8 electric cars of different makes, 2 running on petrol and 1 with a diesel engine. Their data indicates that the exposures in electric cars, while slightly higher than those with internal combustion engines, remained far below the limits defined by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The researchers reported maximum exposures amounting to 20% of the ICNIRP limits, compared to the 10% they observed in the three conventional cars.

These values relate to the exposure at foot height. Higher up, and therefore further away from the engine, the values are lower. The project reports that exposure levels nearer the head do not exceed 2% of the ICNIRP limits.

In vitro experiments

The partners also studied the biological effects of the EMFs observed in electric vehicles. One of their experiments focused on cardiac cells, to check if EMFs affect the electrical processes of the heart. Other tests looked into the fields’ effects on other types of healthy and cancerous cells.

“We used the magnetic field exposure in the frequency area observed in the electric cars, and from these cell studies we couldn’t see any negative effects,” says Vogl. More specifically, the partners conclude that there are no reasons to perceive the electromagnetic radiation observed in cars as potentially carcinogenic – in contrast to substances such as benzene or diesel exhaust fumes, which are known to cause cancer."



Also in the UK, we use electric milk carts and electric buses, not a single case of EMF induced cancer or other illness can be found. from these electrical devices.

Having said all that, EMF radiation needs to be checked and regulated, the same as fossil fuel exhaust needs to be regulated.

riz ,,,,you do not spend 10 hours using a hoover ,,but you could be sat behind the wheel for 10 hours on a long journey in a confined space ,,,

The Tesla cars are all tested and all are way below the regulations in place.
CRT TVs and the latest lathes are also EMF producers, not a single case of illness has been found from EMF radiation.
That is not saying EMF is safe, just that mankind has not yet produced any domestic equipment that can cause illness from EMF.
Its use in military environments is another story.
