Abstract

Abstract Overview

This study assesses the electromagnetic radiation levels in electric vehicles, focusing on exposure to humans. The investigation spans across different operational modes of electric vehicles— driving, charging, and stationary.

Methodology and Findings

• Measurements: Electric and magnetic field strengths were measured across frequencies from 6 Hz to 3 GHz for electric fields, and 6 Hz to 30 MHz for magnetic fields.
• Modes Compared: Notable variations in electromagnetic radiation levels were found between different operational modes of electric vehicles.
• Driving Mode: The highest levels of electromagnetic radiation were detected during the driving mode, particularly at the front of the vehicle, suggesting a potential risk zone.
• Frequency Spectrum: Predominantly, the electromagnetic radiation constituted electromagnetic waves ranging from 6 Hz to 500 Hz.

Conclusion

The study highlights a significant variance in electromagnetic field exposure depending on the vehicle’s mode of operation, with driving mode posing higher levels of radiation. This indicates a potential health risk that merits further investigation and mitigation strategies.
