If you don't have a faraday cage, you can take your jumper cables, attach one end to your car and the other end to a solid ground.
If your cars outer frame is metal, it will protect the car and anything inside the trunk or engine bay.
It is not guaranteed but it is a chance to save vital electronics and possibly the functionality of the car.
Quoting: --Voltaic-- Maybe you can explain it... I've seen and read that a cars tires is the reason you are actually safe from lighting strikes in your car. Now wouldn't this also keep it safe from a EMP/CME? You are safe from lightening because it conducts around you and into the ground. The lightening is such a high voltage that it will arc right past the tires easily. the vehicles shell is just a conductor that bypasses the passengers from electrocution. But induction from magnetic flux isn't a high enough voltage to arc past the tires. In this case you NEED to ground the metal shell to make it a shield against electronic induction. Same with tin foil hats (lol). They only magnify the signals unless the wearer has it grounded.
