EMP proof vehicles!!

RE: EMP proof vehicles!!
Actually, the old jetta referred to in the article might be WORSE than modern cars.

Depending on the circumstances, the fuel cut solenoid might become faulty, or at least the charging circuit might be affected.

Anything on a car that users magnetic force and electromagnetic coils to operate could be affected.

Even an old moggie minor could be incapacitated.

Cars though, are crude Faraday cages anyways!


I was in the motor trade for 15 years, and I've seen cars temporarily immobilised by radio transmitters, and shopping centre steelwork, it's becoming less frequent, but as far as I'm aware it still happens....


I think anyone relying on a car needs to seriously rethink their strategy anyway. If the SHTF, and you have a car, your a target.
