The rapid convergence of cooperative intelligent transport systems, electrified propulsion, bidirectional charging infrastructures, and high-speed in-vehicle communication networks has transformed the contemporary vehicle into a complex cyber-physical ecosystem. While this transformation promises unprecedented gains in safety, efficiency, and sustainability, it also amplifies electromagnetic compatibility challenges and functional safety risks. This study develops an integrated theoretical and engineering framework that unifies electromagnetic interference mitigation, functional safety standards, communication integrity assurance, and human exposure considerations within the context of cooperative, connected, and automated electric mobility. Drawing exclusively on established regulatory strategies, international standards, and peer-reviewed technical contributions, this article synthesizes insights from cooperative intelligent transport strategies, ISO 26262 functional safety doctrine, electromagnetic disturbance management, cyclic redundancy reliability under harsh environments, conducted and radiated interference modeling in power converters, wireless charging safety evaluation, and high-speed automotive Ethernet shielding design.

The research method is qualitative-analytical and systems-oriented, constructing a multi-layered risk governance architecture that interlinks electromagnetic disturbance modeling, converter topology optimization, communication-layer error detection, standardized immunity testing protocols, and exposure assessment mechanisms. The results demonstrate that electromagnetic compatibility must be embedded as a cross-domain safety requirement rather than treated as a compliance afterthought. Furthermore, bidirectional charging systems and photovoltaic-assisted converters introduce novel interference pathways that necessitate coordinated mitigation strategies spanning hardware shielding, topology optimization, error-checking protocols, and standards-aligned verification.

The discussion explores the theoretical implications of treating electromagnetic disturbances as systemic safety hazards in automated mobility ecosystems, identifies regulatory harmonization gaps, and outlines a future research agenda focused on adaptive shielding, converter design co-optimization, and cooperative network robustness. The article concludes that achieving resilient cooperative electric mobility requires integrated electromagnetic governance bridging infrastructure, vehicle subsystems, communication networks, and human exposure safeguards.
