“Home chargers use a smaller current but AC generates a different magnetic field than DC. Home charging is likely safe with sensible precautions, such as not staying next to the charging cable for extended periods of time.
“Patients with cardiac devices can be reassured that charging electric cars with high-power chargers is safe. The risk of malfunction of pacemakers and defibrillators is extremely low in this situation.
“Sitting inside the car or standing next to the charging cable or charger is also safe. However, we would recommend not placing the charging cable directly over the cardiac device to maintain distance from the charging elements.”
As expected only more fail -safes can save humanity from It`s own Absurdities .
