Is Your Car Cooking You?

Is it possible your car is cooking you?

Well, cooking probably isn’t the correct word. How about exposing you to possibly dangerous electromagnetic field/frequencies that might be the source of health problems such as nausea, headaches, rashes and feelings of general unease? Some people say they experience these and other symptoms when exposed to radio/electromagnetic fields/frequencies emanating from cell phone towers, wi-fi routers and high-voltage electricity sources.

“The science” on this says there’s nothing to worry about. That the emanations are of the non-ionizing sort. Meaning they are not powerful enough to cause cellular damage or other ill effects. Ionizing emanations, on the other hand, are known to be very bad stuff. We are assured that the stuff emanating from our devices – smartphones, for instance – and the signals we’re pretty much basking in everywhere we go, now that we’re surrounded by devices that “connect” wirelessly (Wi-Fi) – are innocuous.

Nothing to worry about. Trust us!

But “the science” has been wrong about many things lately. Part of the problem there being “the science” has been corrupted by influence – by money and politics. Consider the FDA and the CDC as two very ominous examples of the corruption of “the science.”

We live at a time when skepticism is healthy – and due diligence is more important than ever. Especially when there is a lot of money involved – and pesky questions might cause less of that to be made by the interests that have influence.

There’s no question about the fact that new/recent-vintage vehicles have a lot of high-powered electronic equipment that generates in-car electromagnetic fields/frequencies that people were not exposed to in vehicles until relatively recently.

Electric and partially electric (i.e., hybrid) vehicles especially. They have powerful electric motors and high voltage electrical systems, including large battery packs that are generally mounted closer to where people sit, as for example under the seats. Electric motors do generate electromagnetic fields and the batteries we’re talking about are not like the 12 volt battery that is generally located up front – in the engine compartment and so not close to people – that starts the engine in most cars.

EV and hybrid battery packs are much closer to the people riding in the car and they operate at much higher voltages. Hundreds of volts in the case of fully electric vehicles. And so also the EV “fast” chargers that people snuggle up close to when they charge up their devices.

Most hybrids – including the “mild” ones that use the hybrid side of the powertrain just to power accessories when the engine has been cycled off when the vehicle isn’t moving – have 48 volt electrical systems. The extra electrical power is needed to quickly re-start the gas engine, typically using a flywheel/belt-driven-starter system that takes a lot of electric power to operate it.

Every new/late-model vehicle has an electronic brain that pulses with electrical energy – and lots of wiring that serves as the brain’s nervous system. This brain (the car’s main computer) is generally located inside the passenger compartment under the lower part of the dashboard, close to either the front seat passenger’s legs or the driver’s.

Or both.

Just for fun, I took a meter that registers electromagnetic fields/frequencies and found a “spike” in the electromagnetic fields/frequencies coming from the passenger side footwell area of the 2025 VW Taos I am test driving this week. The Taos is not an EV or a partial EV (i.e., a hybrid) but it does have a lot of electronica, as is unavoidable in any new vehicle. And it has a big brain – a computer – mounted near the passenger side footwell area. And the meter registered something coming from that area. The farther away I held the meter, the less it registered.

What does it mean? It’d be nice to know. It’s likely whatever it is – and means – they do not want us to know. Just like they don’t want us to know about seed oils. Or Glyphosate. And – summoning the voice of the evil emperor from Star Wars – a great many things.

All new cars also have Wi-Fi in the car as well as smartphone-emulating displays and tap/swipe interfaces. Put another way, when you’re driving – or riding in – one of these vehicles, you are sitting in front of computers – plural – and they possibly emit enough electromagnetic fields/frequencies to be bothersome to some people, who are more sensitive than others to these emissions. Skeptics say it’s psychosomatic – that it’s all in the heads of these people, who suffer from other problems they are attributing to the glowing (and emitting) electronica that’s been built into new and late-model vehicles.

The interesting thing, though, is there are no standards as regards these emissions. The assumption is they’re “safe” – which is really interesting, given the regulatory apparat’s Inspector Javert-like obsession with other “emissions” known to be harmless – such as those of the dread gas carbon dioxide that not even the apparat claims are directly harmful to people. The assertion is that the “emissions” of carbon dioxide are causing the “climate” to “change.”

That’s nicely (but scarily) vague, isn’t it?

Basically, the bogeyman’s going to get you.

Is it the same with the electromagnetic fields/frequencies generated by in-car electronica? Well, it’d be interesting to know.

More finely, how do we find out? We can count on them not telling us, if it isn’t the bogeyman – and they do want to “get” us. The fact that they’re telling us everything is fine and not to worry means we probably ought to.

That would be in keeping with precedent.

  1. Don’t worry the gooberment will have a quackcine for EMFs. Because they love us all so much.

    I don’t use any of these things: cell phone, wifi, I won’t buy a car with wifi, microwave oven, GMO’s or glyphosates, canola oil, ABS, airbags, etc. I think other people that use these things are nuts.

    • I think I’ve given you Hell in the past. This comment of yours is bomb diggity. …We’re on the same side, here. …Way.

      Are you looking forward to the release by our overlords of the anti-dote for nano-bots in the bloodstream of the un-vaxxed, or ‘a something’ for the parasites she found in The Fog?

      I’m holding My breath.

      • Thanks 🙂 Yeah I’m so looking forward to our loving leaders putting more graphene in everything. Seriously I hope some nice aliens come save us soon … bring their battlefleet and destroy all the evil dictators on this planet, and then we can all vote on everything for once, like a real society.

        • You’re welcome. Yours is the first reply I’ve gotten after posting this in a few places online where I expected it would generate many replies.

          /// I guess, nobody gives a crap that they are being turned into The Borg?

  2. The battery packs themselves have no EM field, they’re DC. The inverters and motor drivers can create strong fields. But it’ll be low frequency, the fundamental being not quite even to the low end of radio frequencies. So the field you’re exposed to may be similar to power transmission line but in a different class from say cell phones and such.

    None of this is to suggest the validity of your point. No one has really seriously looked into all of this for decades. The last time the FCC updated their exposure guidelines was 1996, although the underlying document (ANSI C95.1) is updated periodically. But the fundamental flaw in all analysis isn’t measuring and quantifying exposure as such.

    All devices have to be shown to meet standards to be allowed use. We argue that and honestly there’s probably no real safe level but there are decades of relatively minimal impact through most of the 20th century. Maybe we can correlate rising cancer rates or general health with the rise of electrical power and radios.

    What is overlooked in the past 20 or so years is the overwhelming expansion of RF and EM interference and energy. Back in the 1990s we had radio around us but unless you were actual in a technical field or an amateur radio person the fields around you were in fact fairly low. With the explosion of cell phones and wireless everything every individual is surrounded with more intense fields. And, further, no one looks at the interaction of it all together. You might reasonably measure a cell phone and determine by itself the field meets guidelines but if you put a cell phone with a laptop, a tablet, an On-Star radio, etc. all together you will exceed the limits cumulatively.

    • Lotsa sheet out there says, yeah, way bad: “So the field you’re exposed to may be similar to power transmission line but in a different class from say cell phones and such.”

      “and such” you mean, like a microwave oven? I just watched this bit, to bite into?:

      ‘DEATH BOX IN YOUR HOUSE?!?!’

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UnsijDvGZA

      “Cumulatively” the bastards who write the regulations and advisories, are captured… whores. Can’t trust them, for sheet.

      “relatively minimal impact” psft. Cheap sell-out liars, from top to bottom. Every single one of ’em. Except, maybe a few, who are clueless dupes.

      You really, really, trust The System, & expect that it is Not corrupt, “No one has really seriously looked into all of this for decades. The last time the FCC updated their exposure guidelines was 1996”

      “really seriously looked into all of this”?

      Butter, meet bread. Toast, don’t notice.

  3. “Canola oil is good for you! Bottoms up!” What do you know about Canola Oil? I had never heard of it until about two months ago. However, I thought Boost and Ensure were good for the elderly – that’s how they are marketed. Wasn’t till I read the ingredients of High Calorie Boost wondering how a little bottle had 530 calories: Water, Glucose Syrup, Canola Oil…
    https://www.boost.com/products/boost-very-high-calorie

    And then looked up canola oil that I found out supposedly it causes ALZHEIMER’s (as well as weight gain). 12.7.17 Effect of canola oil consumption on memory, synapse and neuropathology in the triple transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease
    “The data presented in the current paper demonstrate that chronic administration of a diet enriched with canola oil results in significant deficits of working memory and synaptic pathology, ”
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5719422/

    Then I found out all the Boost products contain it including one I’d been buying for 6+ years: WATER, GLUCOSE SYRUP, MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, SUGAR, CANOLA OIL..
    https://www.boost.com/products/boost-high-protein

    Ensure also contains canola oil.
    https://www.ensure.com/nutrition-products/ensure-plus/milk-chocolate
    Meanwhile this is how they market themselves:

    And you wonder why the elderly are losing their memories so fast…

  4. Is Your Car Cooking For You?

    One of the more risible Lügenpresse articles I ever read, as a teenager, featured a suburban housewife in Houston who placed a covered casserole atop the big V8 in the family station wagon, and then spent a couple of hours driving around shopping, picking up the kids, etc.

    The casserole was done by the time she got home. But even in those pre-microprocessor days, ranges had clock timers. Why would you cook dinner under the hood, at unknown temperature and in the presence of gasoline and oil vapors, when you could just leave it in the damned oven?

    Evidently the reporterette’s editor thought this was a clever feature for the Lifestyle section of the ‘paper,’ which ran to dozens of large-format pages in those days. Now you have to go on YouTube to find this kind of vapid silliness. SSDM — Same Sh*t, Different Media.

    • My aunt cooked a turkey dinner inside the engine compartment of the car on the way to Seattle when my uncle moved to work at Boeing Corporation. Stick a fork in it, it was done.

      Six months later, my uncle was back on the farm, never complaining about it ever again.

      Back in 1958, you still had to make a living.

  5. We can point out what is wrong until the cows come home.

    Things are bad. We get it!

    But how can we fix this?

    What is the solution?

    1: Identify the source this evil. (Follow the money)

    2: Focus all of our attention on the head of the snake.

    3: Make sure ‘everyone everywhere’ understands exactly who is doing this to us.

    See, we can’t fix a problem until we all understand it.

    Fortunately it is actually quite simple. Follow the fiat money. Call them out in mass.

    Just my 2 cents. 🙂

    • Lawyers plus millstones resting at the bottom of the ocean for a start. Then Judges, plus rats, thrown into large burlap bags, hung from trees. Any American with damages, and or standing is allowed to play. Louisville Sluggers enter the chat and are passed out among the masses. The Republic is restored to the cheers of ‘Swing Away Merrill, Merrill swing away.’

  6. A forum where instructions are shared on how to disable the cellular / wifi systems in various automobiles would certainly be useful.

  7. An AM radio signal will not have good reception under a power pole with a transformer mounted to it.

    Lots of static, magnetic resonance is present.

    Waves of magnetism.

    While you are listening to the radio, canned music, and you drive under high line power towers, you will lose some signal and all you will hear is static.

    The real culprits are gamma rays.

  8. Is the Hospital cooking the nurses?

    https://nypost.com/2025/04/04/health/multiple-nurses-get-brain-tumors-in-the-same-hospital-unit/

    “At least five nurses working at Mass General Brigham’s Newton-Wellesley Hospital have been diagnosed with brain tumors.

    However, a nurse recently diagnosed with a brain tumor claims that as many as 10 employees on the floor have been struck by different brain tumors in recent years — some of which were cancerous.”

    —————-

    A friend of mine who used to race motorcycles, claims his cellphone in his pants pocket created tumors in his leg, he had an NDE – says the angel in his near death experience told him how to remove the tumors which he did when he came back from the dead, lost 100lbs, is now an anarchist libertarian anti-government conspiracy researcher. He is adamant about chem trails, cell phone towers, smart meters, HAARP, Covid jabs are killing us off, burning down homes, spying on us, disrupting our thought patterns, etc.

    And now to that EMF soup add your WIFIed car and battery. Just how bad is your Tesla cooking your balls? It is all too much for me, that is why I am a proud neo-Luddite, I’ve had enough of all this so-called progress.

    wiki – “Neo-Luddism or new Luddism is a philosophy opposing many forms of modern technology. The term Luddite is generally used as a pejorative applied to people showing technophobic leanings. The name is based on the historical legacy of the English Luddites, who were active between 1811 and 1817.”

    So not only am I homophobic and transphobic, I am also technophobic, LOL. I am also election-phobic, tax-phobic, television-phobic, vaxx-phobic and definitely a vaxx denier. I’ve been called a climate denier, an anti-semite, nazi, racist, and Russia lover. I don’t own a cell phone, I hate apps, I hate complicated cars you can’t work on, and I hope and pray Russia lights up the District of Jew Criminals with MIRVed nukes. Liberation day for me is when Washington Week in Review with Jeffrey Goldberg is no longer on the air because the studio is a smoking radioactive hole in the ground.

  9. Something else that we were told was “Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafe” were these electric smart meters that many electric companies and/ or governments shoved down people’s throats over the past 15 years or so, but I’ve heard numerous stories of people suffering ill effects from smart meter exposure or smart meters catching fire and burning homes down. The state of Oregon, through its PUC, even shoved them down Oregonians’ throats in 2018, and the local electric company where I live wanted to charge an extortionary fee of $36 a month disguised as a “meter reading fee” to people who opted out and wanted to keep their existing non-smart meter. Thankfully though, that fee was lowered to $10 a month due to public pressure, but I still say it’s extortion, and that the monthly fee was originally designed to be high so as to FORCE people into giving up their long lasting analog meters for a digital smart meter that can be used for all sorts of nefarious purposes.

  10. I don’t know enough to have an opinion, but the fact that no one is even discussing this issue and that no one is even looking into EMF safety is highly
    concerning to me.

    Just like the dangers of tobacco were ignored—and even suppressed—until they couldn’t be any longer.

  11. While knowing nothing about electromagnetic fields I have noticed that the more electronics owned by someone is directly proportional to how stupid they are versus how many power tools and small engines you own is directly proportional to how smart and handy you are!

    Shocking to discover and I wonder if GovCo will give a research grant to confirm these observations?

    • When I was in college, the Electrical Engineering Department separated out the Introductory Electronic Circuits course into one course for Electrical Engineering majors, and one for non-EE majors because the Mechanical Engineering students were outperforming the Electrical Engineering students.

      • Hi Horst. After I posted the comment I thought perhaps I should have linked stupidity to smart phone size.

        Out of curiosity why do you think the mechanical engineering students did better than the electrical engineering students? Analog versus digital thinking?

        • Well, at the time, we simply said “Ha ha we’re smarter than you.” 🙂

          I think you’re onto something with the analog vs digital mindset. I think the other factor is that a lot of the ME students were hot rodders and therefore had more tinkering experience.

  12. I know nothing about electromagnetic fields, Eric, but if you have a meter that measures them, what units is it calibrated in? How many more units did you register in the footwell of the Taos opposed to elsewhere in the vehicle?

    Should be a simple matter to scientifically compare the units registered by an EV, a hybrid, a modern ICE car and your old non-electronic Pontiac.

    • Hi X.

      The problem would be in comparing the health problems of the general public with those of the Amish who not only avoid Electromagnetic Fields but the VAXX, electricity, sedentary lifestyles and fast foods. My guess is the Amish are a lot healthier because of their lifestyle but the problem would be narrowing it down to the percentage of lower risk for each technological innovation that they avoid.

  13. We live in houses with 120-volt AC wiring in the walls. Cars now have 48-volt DC systems. Probably DC (even 400 volt DC) produces less EMF than AC wiring. However, the drive motors of an EeeVee for sure produce a lot of EMF with their rotating magnetic fields, destroying AM radio reception.

    Where is the government health warning for EeeVees?

    • DC only makes a field when its flowing, and when it starts and stops flowing especially. A battery produces no field. When you throw a switch and connect that battery to a light bulb there is a big cross spectrum spike for a millisecond, then the field around the wire becomes static and not dangerous. However, to vary the speed of a DC motor you have to switch the flow with transistors by Pulse Width Modulation, which is rapidly switching the current on and off to vary mean voltage to the motor. This PWM power is not actually DC and definitely has induced fields and health effects just like AC.

      In general, the higher the frequency the more you should be worried about it. DC is safe, gigahertz should be concerning.

      Exceptions to that rule of thumb is stuff like ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) because of the difficulty of shielding it and the power required to make it work.

      But it’s a complicated quantum world and nobody really understands electromagnetic phenomena.

  14. If it’s making you stupid, you probably don’t care what it’s doing to you. As long as all the bells and whistles work.

  15. Just another “conspiracy theory” as the Blue Team/Red Team normies and corporate mass media will tell you!
    Right along with how LI+ batteries are all part of “the electric future!”

    Meanwhile, the January LA wildfire neighborhoods are now superfund sites with hazmat cleanup from all the battery detritus that remains.
    And recently this Porsche Taycan fire story (mentioned nowhere in the US media, save for some EV pundits on YT) comes out which should shock, horrify and result in demanding answers from “the science.”

    • Hi Flip. Just wait until they discover the burned homes contained CFL bulbs in them. Oh no, Mercury! It’s not just a planet anymore and it’s everywhere!!! LOL.

      As someone pointed out a long time ago: “There are only two substances in the world; those that cause cancer and those we haven’t tested yet”. Time to start breading hardier lab rats methinks.

      As for Canola Oil; while I don’t cook with it anymore I’ve repurposed it as chainsaw oil and it works OK for that task.

      • Sadly the breeding also probably causes cancer but it can’t be proven because the rats all die from exhaustion and dehydration first.

        Canola oil also runs well in a real mechanical diesel.
