    in addition I have a spinal cord stimulator and I have found that the fast chargers interfere with it. At home this won’t be an issue as the car will be scheduled to charge overnight when I’m nowhere near it but out and about I’m almost certain I’m going to have to ask someone else to plug it in for me.

    EV’s along with charging equipment can potentially cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) and strong electromagnetic fields in implanted electrical devices and other battery operated medical devices.

    actually driving an EV car seems fine and certainly my PHEV has caused no issues either. A three pin granny charger has no effect but an active fast charger or sitting in a car whilst it charges for certain turns my signal off. In my case that means pain and restarting the implant away from the charger, but for others it might be a lot more serious

    Its good you have an understanding of any potential issues and can take steps to protect yourself.

    I would image a group of cars charging where there is several 15okW  above chargers would create the strongest fields over say a 7kW home charger but, don’t try it on my behalf lol.
