Although admittedly, a large DC pulse current along an unshielded conductor can emit a significant electromagnetic pulse...
I built some crude Capacitive Discharge welders several years ago, for spot welding battery packs for electric bicycles etc, and used a reed switch (magnetic controlled) taped to one of the cables to make them Dual pulse welders, without having to use complicated electronics. Worked like a charm.
But still, the lawsuit is complete BS.
Actually, if the (perhaps tin-hat) accusations of magnetic Graphene Oxide being in the 'vaccines' the opposite would likely be true.
Switching DC power supplies may generate significant electromagnetic output.

So he’s a democrat?
I wear aluminum foil shirt and pants every time I post something pro-vaccine.
Dewey, Cheatum & Howell: now handling EV battery cases.
BS. I had a 2014 Leaf for 2 years at that time. Drove it daily, non trivial distance. Have a pacemaker, so was concerned about, and sensitive to, the prolific warnings in the vehicle manual. Never felt a thing that could be attributed to the car.
I use a battery powered mower, and battery powered weed whacker. And battery powered bluetooth earphones to listen to music from phone music app. Should I wear aluminum foil during these activities?
By the way the Ryobi battery powered mower is fantastico! It is super quiet, no fumes from burned gasoline in my face, and much lighter so I do not need self propelled. Never going back to gasoline mowers.
You were saved by the pacemaker, which absorbed all of that nasty radiation LOL J/K
My initial comment was based upon the article title of sitting on the battery was what caused his supposed problems. And I mentioned that the motor controller could emit EMF... and Motor Controllers are essentially just complicated switching power supplies.
My penis has been electronically and magnetically radiated.
I’M GONNA SUE!

I am not saying if this is all B.S. or not because I don’t know. But Just because a battery is DC does not mean anything. There are large pulsating currents abound in an electric car. Current to the motors is constantly changing and they do draw a lot of it. Whats more I assume that motors are supplied current by way of a PWM drive. That would mean they are fed a square wave at a certain frequency. Therefore all of the wires feeding those motors are going to emit a magnetic pulse. I am not certain if the changing currents from the batteries themselves would cause the battery to also emit a pulse. The battery does contain conductors. The current is changing a lot. So it is possible, but I would think that the real EMP’s would come from the external wires themselves.
I did the same. Bought one of those monster capacitors that the car bufs use when they install one of those body rattler sound systems.
Maybe John Edwards is his lawyer.
I’m more worried about the batteries catching fire.
EMF does NOT stand for Electromagnetic Field. It stands for Electro Motive Force. And whether or not the forces and fields created in keeping a car battery charged are powerful enough to cause physical injury is up for debate. Surely there is considerable dielectric material between his butt and the charging paraphernalia. The battery is actually farther back to the rear of the car. JMHO.
With a 300 mile range there won't be much prolonged driving. Mostly sitting in a coffee shop waiting for your car to recharge.
There is a huge difference between electromagnetic radiation and magnetic field strength. A gauss (in this case a miligauss, 1/1000 of a gauss) is a measurement of magnetic field strength. In comparison, the earth’s magnetic field strength is 0.25 to 0.75 gauss, depending whether you’re far away from the magnetic poles at the equator or near the poles in Siberia or Antartica. This is a hudred times higher than the magnetic field strength listed here. Electromagnetic radiation, TV, radio, sunlight, etc., is a totally different thing.
