Default Electrical smell

So for the past couple months, I've had some various issues with the IMA system. First the IMA system shut down and only the ICE was left standing. Then out of no where, it started charging again, and was back to normal. However, since then, I will occasionally smell something that kind of smells like electronics ionizing. Should I be concerned?

Probably just reading into it too much. But if in doubt, follow your nose.
