Whether or not electromagnetic radiation can actually harm human health has not yet been scientifically clarified. The fact is, however, that electric cars emit what is known as electrosmog, but is this really a health concern? In this context, the type and position of a particular component play an important role.
Part of everyday life
Electromagnetic radiation is a part of everyday life for everyone. The earth's magnetic field is part of it, solar energy is another part, even humans give off this radiation. With modern technology, however, new artificially generated electromagnetic rays are being added, for example from smartphones and cars that are electrically powered. To what extent this radiation affects health and whether it can actually cause cancer, there is still no scientifically substantiated evidence for this.
Controversial discussions
Anyone who initiates a discussion about the dangers of electrosmog with a relatively small device such as a smartphone should also dispose of their computer as hazardous waste as soon as possible. If it were dangerous, the battery of an electric car would have to pose a lot more danger than the battery that is needed for the smartphone. In general, electric and magnetic fields arise mainly in companies and shops that manufacture and sell e-cars. Here it makes sense to think about the consequences that these radiations can have for human health.
What does science say?
The studies carried out so far suggest that it is not the electric motors that cause the smog, but that the location of the battery, the cables or the power electronics is decisive, and the operating condition of the vehicle also plays an important role. The consequence of this is that the elements contained in the car must be designed in such a way that they emit as little radiation as possible. The car manufacturers are following this path in order to protect their customers in the best possible way.
