Charging and discharging are 2 very different scenarios. Yes I own a Tesla and the amount of EMF during driving and at traffic lights is within acceptable limits. I’ll attach the link to a 2015 study conducted. However while charging, the EMF increases dramatically beyond what the researchers considered safe and acceptable.
And no I’ve never sat in it while it’s charging.
Please post that paper as it makes no sense to me.
Driving: up to (more for P/L) 1000 Amps being turned into a high frequency switched waveform to create a rotating sinusoidal field of up to 400V (full pack voltage) in an induction motor (S/X).
Charging via Supercharger: up to 400ish amps of DC current going into the battery. No switching, no AC. All this creates is a static magnetic field. Pack voltage is irrelevant for this case.
HV cables are closely routed so the opposing field cancel for the most part.
Worst case field calculation if the cables carry 500 amps and are 3 inches apart:
At 6 inches from closest wire: 2.19 gauss (a little over 4 times the Earth's field strength)
At 12 inches from closest wire: 1.09 gauss (double the Earth's field)
At 24 inches: 0.18 gauss (less than half ambient Earth field)
Values are much smaller if wires are properly routed (closer together).
For reference: a refrigerator magnet is about 100 gauss
During AC charging, there is localized switching in the charger itself, but that should be fairly contained.
Regarding the thread topic (but not very helpful), I once hit a deer which took out my radiator, got a lift to a payphone to call for help. While waiting for police/parents a van pulled up. Turned out the clerk in the gas station was afraid to come out to check the pumps because I was at this phone 250ish feet from the store by the road. Not every big dude in shorts at night standing around is a threat.
