That is FASCINATING. Does it only apply to fast chargers though? That sounds like something that needs to be studied.
If it applies to Level 1 and 2 chargers, then that has implications for home charging.
Most/all Level 1 & 2 chargers do not have fans in them, so this wouldn’t be an issue. And the solution is fairly simple - just don’t stand next to the fast charger for the 15-20 minutes that the vehicle is charging. Take a walk, do some shopping, etc.
Make sure that you're not outside when the wind blows, too.
Or just sit inside your car and let the cabin air filters do their thing.
Not near a roadway though, the pollution will kill you
