They long ago started making car radios without AM.

In two different hybrid Prius' I measured high HF RFI out to at least

3 feet from the back hatch door.

One could mount an antenna on a hitch carrier or small trailer ...

/"electromagnetic frequencies generated by EV motors occupy the same
wavelength as AM radio signals. The competing signals clash, effectively
cancelling each other out. As EV motors grow more powerful, AM static
tends to increase./

I suspect the harmonics from that interference could cause havoc on the
HF spectrum -- something to think about for those contemplating HF
mobile in an EV.
