I wonder sitting on all those batteries in the car and the large screen and wifi in the car if there are seriously any possible health effects? I mean we all know cell phones can cause cancer and 5g is dangerous as is wifi waves all around us but i am just curious how safe driving these cars day to day is or may be. Its a serious question and not trolling.

Have there been studies on possible health effects of ev's?

I don't agree that cell phones and wifi causes cancer. To my most research seem to indicate it's not harmful or results are inconclusive.
I haven't seen any indications that LiIon batteries should give off harmful gases or similar. The risk for nasty fires seems no worse than for driving around with gallons of much more energy-dense gasoline.

Even if independent (key word) scientific research indicates that something unique to this style car causes increased negative health issue I'd like to see how this compares to similar symptoms/ailments of vehicles of the ICE variety. The data coming out lately on exhaust fumes and it's direct correlation to some of our worst diseases is quite alarming and we're only scratching the surface of things like that.

And like Ostrichsak said, can't be worse than the carbon spewing cars already on the road.

All of this is nonsense, as is the electric car worry.
I too am pretty sure driving Teslas is deadly in the long term.
There will be pretty solid statistical data to support my claim, (100years from now) all Tesla drivers of 2016 will be dead, you see? - proved deadly...in the long term!!
Now that I think of it, most people who died of cancer drank water ! ... water is deadly too!
The first post: What a pile of nonsense about non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation
Seriously: Tesla affected my health by big smiles that the Ludicrous mode always can produce, and the mood-enhancing experience.

Not sure about physical health effects but mentally it has messed me up. I keep looking at tesla.com about 3 to 4 times a week. Checking the cyber truck page and the Model Y page looking for any updates. Oh yes, I'm always looking at the Model S page, waiting for the Plad to show up.

One full breath at the gas station will do more harm than driving an electric car.
Yes it's dangerous. It's been said that studies have shown you're more likely to drive off the edge of the earth in an EV.

E Vs are safe as long as you don't use an electric tooth brush or electric razor.
My god...
I have tried to resist replying here, but some in your population of Earthlings are so fearful these days. They do not care to go to the bother of studying what the tech is all about, and so have no idea. Disgusting. And the default is fear about the integrity of their own meat structures. Why should they be so concerned about this in the context of Physics?
Someone please tell them that if they are this concerned about shadows, that they are the Weak Ones, who the rest of us hope will be taken out by the next choice of Nature, an irresistible pandemic such as airborne cancer.
To you meomyo, the least hilarious thing I can say is, as my fellow Texan once said, "If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it"

According to the World Health Organisation, in thousands of peer reviewed studies carried out over the last 30 years, exposures below the limits recommended in the ICNIRP (1998) EMF guidelines, covering the full frequency range from 0-300 GHz, do not produce any known adverse health effect.

well the batteries hold DC power so there aren’t any “waves” flying around from that. Also the car doesn’t have a wifi hotspot, so again nothing there. The only thing the body could potentially feel is inductance from the AC motors but I suspect that is VERY minimal. An electric shaver is probably worse. Hah

The only real risk is forgetting to tell your passenger to put their head against the headrest before launching the car.
Same here....
But I have some real medical evidence I must share, because I have driven ev's for several years now.
Firstly, migraines. Importantly, I didn't have migraines before driving ev's. And I still don't, so we are all good on that one.
Asthma is a different story. During recent cold weather I have got my old asthma back and I have been driving a MS Raven, so clearly something to watch out for there.
Now the final condition only started since I got the Model S, and it never happened before. What's more, I read another thread on TMC ages ago where the same thing might have happened to someone else, so this one is a cert. If you get tinnitus and you drive an EV then you now know the cause.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have two Teslas over the last four years and now cannot stop grinning. Sometimes I find myself going for a drive for no apparent reason. I’m going to see a specialist next week to see what’s going on....
To the OP, I have thought the same thing...if i remember my physics correctly, large enough electric fields can cause a magnetic field to develop...i guess the field would be located around the motor, which sits in the rear of the vehicle...for the driver, i would imagine that the impact would be minimal? i wouldn't know where to begin to measure the magnetic field generated from the rear motor.
As for the chemicals/vapor being emitted from the LIon batteries? I don't know the answer to that.
I have taken cockpit readings of RF EMF readings with a meter, and they were higher than normal, baseline levels (normal being 30ft away from my home in the middle of the street...away from my home wifi) , but no different than what your cell phone emits (which may be too high)
I personally, do believe that non-ionizing radiation may not be as safe as the cell phone companies would like you to believe...Apple's official stance is to NOT have your I Phone in your pocket...plus, have you seen there legal jargon in their owner's manuals?
