I’m a ham radio operator, providing emergency comms. Does anyone know about concerns and possibilities of mounting mobile radios in an EV?

No issues--making sure you find an appropriate ground plane is going to be similar to any newer vehicles. There will be a small amount of E-M interference generated by the motors, but it's minimal unless you're mounting your antenna on top of the motors or inverters.
