There is a technical reason for this.

AM radios in electric cars require a bunch of “insulation” from the electric engine. This adds complexity to the radio and pounds to the car.

Anyone who has ever tried to use an AM radio near a cheap fan knows that the radio signal is interrupted and you get wicked noise coming out of the speaker. Now imagine that against the huge battery bank and electric motor.

In electric cars every ounce needs to be accounted for. Extra weight means less effective range. Especially in the cold. Ha ha.

I know everyone wants to make this political…it’s not. It’s practical.

I don’t much care for electric vehicles. The government has caused this crap due to their regulations and targets. Don’t blame the manufacturers. It’s not their fault. It’s physics.

Cheapfans have inefficient brushes, EV have brushless motors.
