I'm talking really high voltage, many times higher than the hybrid battery. Close proximity to very high voltage power lines falls into the EMF/EMI catagory too, but this is thousands of volts, not 330V.
Nuclear explosions produce EMP, electromagnetic pulse. I've never heard of it referred to as EMF.
