Electromagnetic field in electric and hybrid cars

In recent years rapid development of electromobility has been observed and hybrid and electric cars are becoming more and more popular. Their attractiveness is influenced by the reduction of exhaust gas emissions thanks to the use of electric drives. However, the use of this type of drive also raises some concerns, because people using this type of transport are in close proximity to the vehicle's electrical installation, which generates an electromagnetic field. High current values, up to several hundred amperes, can be the source of significant values of the fields affecting the organisms of passengers. In this paper, the authors discuss the results of several recent studies of the levels of electromagnetic interactions encountered in electrically powered cars and present the results of their own measurements made on two types of vehicles.
