I don't see how you can compare microwaves from a cell phone with the
much, much lower frequencies generated by the electric motor/generator
and battery charger/inverter, especialy when the latter devices are
intentionally designed, mostly for efficiency reasons, to not leak
magnetic fields, and they're substantially shielded by the metal of the
trunk, floor, and engine compartment. Non-hybrid cars also generate
EMF, namely from the alternator, starter, and, except in diesels, the
ignition system.
Frankly, your priorities are misplaced, and you should ignore
insignificant hazards, like EMF from hybrid cars or even from cell
phones, and concentrate on avoiding the much more serious ones, such as
using a cell phone or manipulating a car stereo while driving.
