As "beerspill" observes: no cause to worry. The electronic and
electrical bits inside the Prius, for example, seem very solidly
shielded. The car's own radio runs quietly, without indications
of interference, both on AM and FM bands. CDs play very nicely.
BTW, "EMF" conventionally abbreviates "Electro-Magnetic Force".
Engineers use it to denote the voltage which can be considered to
drive current through a circuit, effectively the no-load voltage
measured at the terminals of the power source. Electromagnetic
waves, as such, don't usually merit their own acronym.
Maybe you meant "EMP"[*]? Yes, _that_ would be something. <g>
[* : "Electro-Magnetic Pulse", a usually large and abrupt change
in ambient electrical/magnetic field, generally associated with
extreme events like lightning strikes and nuclear explosions.]
