Fast switching power doesn't need a ground or a common return to generate
loud EMI and foul AM. In my old testing lab I had used an old transistor
radio to locate noise that was fouling a turbine flowmeter output. The
problem lies with rapid rising and falling voltage - something that is

Sure it is! Marketing will convince him. Look, we've been convincing
them to buy our ICEs for years! :-)
"Do you _need_ an AM radio in your car?"
No. But it was sure nice to have when we were heading north out of Weed
CA Route 97 on a dark December night not long ago. The sign said to
tune your radio to some AM frequency for traffic conditions. That saved
us a lot of time because the road was

There is no "ground" in a vehicle, only "chassis". (Unless the vehicle
is on charge and connected to the grid.) The drivetrain and the AM radio
share the chassis "ground", which is likely the root of the problem.
The EMI comes from the controller PWM switching, goes into the chassis,
(and is r
Well conducted emissions seems easier to eliminate

I had interference on the AM radio in my Tesla model S.
Took it in to Tesla to be fixed.
A week later, I got it back. No change in the AM interference.
Their answer, use streaming for AM...
Thank you,

Hmm, that brings up a question.
Do automobiles (electric or otherwise) have to pass any FCC regulations
regarding RF emissions?

Good point; perhaps the real cost savings isn't the radio itself, but that its
absence allows them to cut corners (and cost) elsew

If radiated, it will cause problems not only for your own car; but will
also wipe out AM in the car next to it!
Our Prius has an AM radio, though it has a "tin ear" -- poor weak signal
