All:

It appears that some electric vehicle manufactures are eliminating AM radio due RFI generated by EV's. The article below outlines the reasons.

It reads in part:

/"electromagnetic frequencies generated by EV motors occupy the same wavelength as AM radio signals. The competing signals clash, effectively cancelling each other out. As EV motors grow more powerful, AM static tends to increase./

I suspect the harmonics from that interference could cause havoc on the HF spectrum -- something to think about for those contemplating HF mobile in an EV.
