This has been an issue for some time. Ria knows a lot about this as she has a Tessla and I spoke with her about this subject. While I think EVs are good ideas for many uses, and they are here to stay, my decision not to have an electric vehicle as a new second car (being delivered in a few weeks after one year wait) was just that issue. I will be running HF mobile for the first time in my 55 years as a ham and I suspect many, if not most EVs will make mobile HF work difficult or impossible. I am interested in anyone on this board who does HF successfully with an electric vehicle (direct message better to not jam up our reflector).

My Nissan Leaf has AM radio. I found this an interesting article. Does it relate to having an HF radio in an EV? https://www.motorbiscuit.com/am-radio-absence-why-evs-dont-have/ 73, Art -- Arthur I.
