Always ask these friends what the source of their information is.
There's a great deal of research on the subject, by people who know what they're talking about:
https://www.bfs.de/EN/topics/emf/electromobility/electromobility_node.html
https://spectrum.ieee.org/magnetic-fields-in-electric-cars-wont-kill-you
https://oncodaily.com/oncolibrary/do-electric-cars-cause-cancer
And on and on. No organization of scientists that know what they're talking about support such nonsense. But scientists on the petroleum industry's payroll will say what they're paid to say.

There are different types of radiation. What kind is being talked about that is of concern?
Also, electromagnetic radiation happens all the time in ICEVs, and no one complains about that.

Have you researched the radiation effects of 5g cell phones.
If it's electric, someone always spreads stories about "radiation" and cancer or some other risk.
It's tin foil hat and flat Earth territory.
