Happy to do it. I'm in the City.
Phew! Thanks Phil!Ingineer said:In case anyone is interested, I measured the inside of the Leaf with my Geiger counter and found no levels of Alpha, Beta, or Gamma radiation over standard ambient background levels common in the SF area.

breaker box pegged at 100mG but drops off to 2mG at about 2 ft)
Ingineer said:This is silly. The very low amount of 60hz magnetic energy coming from a panel is less than the earth's magnetic field at 4 feet, and overall the EM emissions are several orders of magnitude less than a cell phone.
If you are worried about that kind of stuff, your "safe bet" is to eschew all modern technology and move into the wilderness in Siberia or somewhere. I'm sure it will extend your life by many years!

sorta like my father-in-law retired aviator.
So what you are saying is; thinking about Italian Ex's while listening to the Doors and Stones will give cause Priapism. I bet if you repeat the experiment with the charger and Leaf off, it will still happen. You might need to think about another crazy ex though because she might not work twice. (that would be bad science)CWO4Mann said:I became curious after reading this thread and performed an interesting experiment last night. I ingested 20mg of Levitra, went out and sat in my Leaf during a 2-hour charging cycle and listening several times to a combination of The Doors' "LA Woman" and the Rolling Stones' "She's Like a Rainbow" (memories of my First Wife, the Italian Bitch from Vicenza). Then hurriedly came back into the house, presenting a rather grandiose protuberance to the ever-suffering Mama-San. I'm writing this note from the Emergency Room where they are preparing to commence treatment for that warned about "4-hours or more". In my case, we became somewhat alarmed after about 6-1/2 hours. Ahh, I see the nice doctor now, he is approaching with a rather large syringe and needle. He is smiling ...
I'll check back with you'all later ...

This is because they are arcing all the time, with a very high voltage (they are supposed to) which is like a high power radio transmitter.
If you have any arcing in your electric car, you have bigger problems than EMF.

aqn said:Great job! Thanks!JessEV said:I had the same question about EMF in the Leaf.[...]
So I bought one of these Triflow measurement devices and did some testing.
(And BTW, did you mean "Trifield", not "Triflow"?)
What will be the lowest dB level of the arcing noises that one should unass the place in a hurry? Leaf is quiet so not much background noise, measurement should be simple.CWO4Mann said:I'd say that if you hear arcing noises or smell ozone around the Leaf it is time to unass the place in a hurry.Dave

TomT said:It's interesting... At low speeds, the Leaf is measurably quieter than many (but certainly not all) cars. On my sound meter it is 2 db quieter at 30 than my BMW. However, at higher speeds, this is not necessarily true. At 65 is is actually 2 db louder than my BMW... I think what makes some people think that it is so quiet is the different character of the noise(es)... Some people, for example, find the high frequency noise of the EV driveline very disturbing.

I have tested myself yesterday during a test-drive of a Leaf, and have found identical values using a trifield 100xe meter. When braking it get around 10mG in the back (battery recharing). I have tested also the Renault ZOE (for europeans), and values are similar. Butwise, the Mitsubishi IMiev (Peugot Ion/Citroen C-Zero) shows much higher values, around 10-15mG at the front seat level, and more than 100mG at the backseats, which is kind of normal as the motor and most of electronics are in the back, just behind the back seats.JessEV said:- Leaf: measured at driver head and torso fluctuated between 1-5mG, no noticeable diff whilst accelerating
- Leaf: measured at driver feet hovered around 5-10mG, no noticeable diff whilst accelerating
- Leaf: measured in the back seat area was well sub 3mG, and seemed to jump up a little only when braking
