Why is that?

Claims without explanation don't move the conversation forward much.

Oh, ye, the current gives strong magnetic fields.

YMMV but I've done IMU measurements in a EV and the compass course changed like 90 degrees from zero to full throttle. Was a low voltage 50V EV prototype though (higher currents).

To be fair I'm not too sure how sensitive compasses are in high voltage EVs.
