If injuries from Electromagnetic Radiation exposure weren’t being taken seriously, American embassy workers injured by microwave energy would be S.O.L. (see 1, 2, 3).
In regard to Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid models, experts have raised concerns about excessive radiation emissions from them as well ( see 1, 2, 3, 4). Recently, a lawsuit was filed by an EV owner who claims to have been injured from driving his.
Lawsuit information from CarComplaints.com
July 11, 2021 — A Nissan LEAF electromagnetic radiation lawsuit has been filed by a Georgia man who sued the automaker “for permanently damaging his health and for destroying his family and career, not to exceed $10 million.”
The 2015 Nissan LEAF customer who filed the lawsuit alleges the car caused him serious health problems from prolonged driving while sitting on a giant battery that allegedly emits large amounts of low-frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation.
The plaintiff claims the LEAF radiation is “way above” safe levels of 2 mG (milligauss) or less.
According to the radiation lawsuit, the 2015 Nissan LEAF EMF measurements are as follows: ◾Driver’s floor — up to 9.2 mG, Top of the seat — up to 5.3 mG
◾Passenger floor — up to 13.1 mG, Top of the seat — up to 4.9 mG
◾Back row floor — up to 31.3 mG, Top of the seat — up to 4.5 mG
◾Back row/top of the elevated floor panel at the center of the vehicle — up to 12.6 mG
The Nissan LEAF electromagnetic radiation lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia: Josef Tater, v. Nissan North America, Inc. In addition to seeking up to $10 million, the plaintiff says Nissan should pay up to $990 million for gross negligence.
“Towards the end of January 2017, the plaintiff had a difficult time to distinguish what was real and what was not, and as a result was terminated from his job. On January 25th, the Plaintiff was hospitalized with inability to hear and speak. Going forward, the Plaintiff kept suffering physical and mental symptoms and his marriage fell apart as his wife filed for divorce on April 15th, 2017.” — Nissan LEAF radiation lawsuit
Also noteworthy – wireless charging technology is being developed for installation into public roads to charge EVs while they are being driven. Of course this technology would expose everyone on these roads to biologically harmful radiation – not just EV drivers and passengers.
Got pets? Exposure can affect them too.
Although admittedly, a large DC pulse current along an unshielded conductor can emit a significant electromagnetic pulse...
I built some crude Capacitive Discharge welders several years ago, for spot welding battery packs for electric bicycles etc, and used a reed switch (magnetic controlled) taped to one of the cables to make them Dual pulse welders, without having to use complicated electronics. Worked like a charm.
But still, the lawsuit is complete BS.
Actually, if the (perhaps tin-hat) accusations of magnetic Graphene Oxide being in the 'vaccines' the opposite would likely be true.
Switching DC power supplies may generate significant electromagnetic output.
“the plaintiff had a difficult time to distinguish what was real and what was not”
So he’s a democrat?
I wear aluminum foil shirt and pants every time I post something pro-vaccine.
Dewey, Cheatum & Howell: now handling EV battery cases.
BS. I had a 2014 Leaf for 2 years at that time. Drove it daily, non trivial distance. Have a pacemaker, so was concerned about, and sensitive to, the prolific warnings in the vehicle manual. Never felt a thing that could be attributed to the car.
I use a battery powered mower, and battery powered weed whacker. And battery powered bluetooth earphones to listen to music from phone music app. Should I wear aluminum foil during these activities?
By the way the Ryobi battery powered mower is fantastico! It is super quiet, no fumes from burned gasoline in my face, and much lighter so I do not need self propelled. Never going back to gasoline mowers.
You were saved by the pacemaker, which absorbed all of that nasty radiation LOL J/K
My initial comment was based upon the article title of sitting on the battery was what caused his supposed problems. And I mentioned that the motor controller could emit EMF... and Motor Controllers are essentially just complicated switching power supplies.
My penis has been electronically and magnetically radiated.
I’M GONNA SUE!

I am not saying if this is all B.S. or not because I don’t know. But Just because a battery is DC does not mean anything. There are large pulsating currents abound in an electric car. Current to the motors is constantly changing and they do draw a lot of it. Whats more I assume that motors are supplied current by way of a PWM drive. That would mean they are fed a square wave at a certain frequency. Therefore all of the wires feeding those motors are going to emit a magnetic pulse. I am not certain if the changing currents from the batteries themselves would cause the battery to also emit a pulse. The battery does contain conductors. The current is changing a lot. So it is possible, but I would think that the real EMP’s would come from the external wires themselves.
I did the same. Bought one of those monster capacitors that the car bufs use when they install one of those body rattler sound systems.
Maybe John Edwards is his lawyer.
I’m more worried about the batteries catching fire.
EMF does NOT stand for Electromagnetic Field. It stands for Electro Motive Force. And whether or not the forces and fields created in keeping a car battery charged are powerful enough to cause physical injury is up for debate. Surely there is considerable dielectric material between his butt and the charging paraphernalia. The battery is actually farther back to the rear of the car. JMHO.
With a 300 mile range there won't be much prolonged driving. Mostly sitting in a coffee shop waiting for your car to recharge.
There is a huge difference between electromagnetic radiation and magnetic field strength. A gauss (in this case a miligauss, 1/1000 of a gauss) is a measurement of magnetic field strength. In comparison, the earth’s magnetic field strength is 0.25 to 0.75 gauss, depending whether you’re far away from the magnetic poles at the equator or near the poles in Siberia or Antartica. This is a hudred times higher than the magnetic field strength listed here. Electromagnetic radiation, TV, radio, sunlight, etc., is a totally different thing.
