Well, cooking probably isn't the correct word. How about exposing you to possibly dangerous electromagnetic field/frequencies that might be the source of health problems such as nausea, headaches, rashes and feelings of general unease? Some people say they experience these and other symptoms when exposed to radio/electromagnetic fields/frequencies emanating from cell phone towers, wi-fi routers and high-voltage electricity sources.

"The science" on this says there's nothing to worry about. That the emanations are of the non-ionizing sort. Meaning they are not powerful enough to cause cellular damage or other ill effects. Ionizing emanations, on the other hand, are known to be very bad stuff. We are assured that the stuff emanating from our devices – smartphones, for instance – and the signals we're pretty much basking in everywhere we go, now that we're surrounded by devices that "connect" wirelessly (Wi-Fi) – are innocuous.

Nothing to worry about. Trust us!

But "the science" has been wrong about many things lately. Part of the problem there being "the science" has been corrupted by influence – by money and politics. Consider the FDA and the CDC as two very ominous examples of the corruption of "the science."

We live at a time when skepticism is healthy – and due diligence is more important than ever. Especially when there is a lot of money involved – and pesky questions might cause less of that to be made by the interests that have influence.

There's no question about the fact that new/recent-vintage vehicles have a lot of high-powered electronic equipment that generates in-car electromagnetic fields/frequencies that people were not exposed to in vehicles until relatively recently.

Electric and partially electric (i.e., hybrid) vehicles especially. They have powerful electric motors and high voltage electrical systems, including large battery packs that are generally mounted closer to where people sit, as for example under the seats. Electric motors do generate electromagnetic fields and the batteries we're talking about are not like the 12 volt battery that is generally located up front – in the engine compartment and so not close to people – that starts the engine in most cars.

EV and hybrid battery packs are much closer to the people riding in the car and they operate at much higher voltages. Hundreds of volts in the case of fully electric vehicles. And so also the EV "fast" chargers that people snuggle up close to when they charge up their devices.

Most hybrids – including the "mild" ones that use the hybrid side of the powertrain just to power accessories when the engine has been cycled off when the vehicle isn't moving – have 48 volt electrical systems. The extra electrical power is needed to quickly re-start the gas engine, typically using a flywheel/belt-driven-starter system that takes a lot of electric power to operate it.
