Abstract

Overview

This study explores the levels and characteristics of electromagnetic radiation within electric vehicles. Various modes such as driving, charging, and stationary positions are examined to understand the exposure levels to humans.

Measurements and Methods

  • Electric field measurements: Range from 6 Hz to 3 GHz.
  • Magnetic field measurements: Range from 6 Hz to 30 MHz.
  • The comparison includes driving mode, charging mode, and stationary mode.

Findings

The study highlights that electromagnetic radiation from electric vehicles primarily comprises electromagnetic waves ranging from 6 Hz to 500 Hz. It also notes that the radiation levels are potentially higher in the driving mode compared to charging or stationary modes.

Another important finding is the frequent occurrence of abnormal electromagnetic radiation values in driving mode, particularly at the front of the vehicles.

Conclusion

The findings imply a significant exposure to electromagnetic fields particularly in certain operational modes of electric vehicles, which may impact health. It is crucial for further detailed studies to be conducted to explore these findings and ensure safety regulations are met for human exposure to electromagnetic fields in electric vehicles.
