It is still a mystery why manufucturers of some electric vehicles, 'EVs' have ditched the AM and even FM.
This is especially so as there is an increase in the number of sales of EVs.
The car is a major "listening post" and as I have remarked that when I listen to AM when the electric motors of my hybrid are in operation, there has been no detriment to my listening experience.
So the excuse of ditching AM and even FM reception in EVs because of an electric motor's interference, least the noise immunity of FM reception is a load of rubbish.
Thank you,
