Interesting paragraph on Electrical Radiation on what seats in an EV are affected the most by the radiation

 As with anywhere that electricity is used, electromobility leads to the production of electric and magnetic fields. These fields surround the battery, motor and cables during the operation of electric vehicles. In many cases, the strongest fields are found in the footwells of the front seats. Depending on the construction of the vehicle and the position of the battery, for example, the highest values may also be recorded in the back seat – in other words, where children often sit. Electric and magnetic fields are also produced while the vehicles are being charged.

end partial quote from:

My point of view is that as shared above in the quote that often the highest radiated people in an EV are the children zero to whatever age that are in the back seat. Also, in the front seat you are radiated more from your feet upward also.

This is because the electric motors tend to be in an EV on each wheel since many EVs are all wheel drive they put one electric motor on each wheel so the radiation comes from wherever electricity is generated and also where it is used in the motors.

You don't get electrical radiation from a Lithium battery generally even though they can catch fire sometimes like when lithium batteries would catch fire in cell phones and laptops in the past. So, the radiation comes only from the generation source and the Electric motors while being used in a hybrid or Only from the radiation created by the using of electricity in the motors while the vehicle is being operated. Usually when you are stationary in an EV there is no radiation at all. 

But, you are hit twice by the radiation in any hybrid because you are hit with it when it is generated and then hit again with it while it is being used by the electric motors. But, when it is in the battery there is no radiation usually at all.
