TFA mentions AM causing interference in EVs. More accurately, it's hard to isolate an AM antenna from a transformer system. AM reception in EVs is a feat of engineering. FM and others still require care but are comparatively easier.

AM is unique in its propagation. It can travel very far very easily and even bounce off the ionosphere in "shortwave" AM situations. It's hard to imagine any form of broadcast radio beating AM at its own game here.

Satellite radio could work, but satellites are a lot more expensive than a radio tower.
