[RFI] AM Radio Dropped From Electric Vehicles Due To RFI

[Tony]

All:

It appears that some electric vehicle manufactures are eliminating AM 
radio due RFI generated by EV's. The article below outlines the reasons.

It reads in part:

/"electromagnetic frequencies generated by EV motors occupy the same 
wavelength as AM radio signals. The competing signals clash, effectively 
cancelling each other out. As EV motors grow more powerful, AM static 
tends to increase./

I suspect the harmonics from that interference could cause havoc on the 
HF spectrum -- something to think about for those contemplating HF 
mobile in an EV.
