I’ve talked with my husband about this. He’s an electrical engineer working in digital design. His take is that running electronics might get fried, but anything that is off should probably be okay. And he thinks that cars would mostly be okay because of the metal box qualities you talked about. But, we don’t know for certain if this is correct.

If Chevy would make a car called the ‘Chevy Faraday’ that ws EMP-proofed, they’d probably sell like hot cakes.

Testing has shown that the overwhelming majority of unshielded electronic devices, including vehicles, would fry. There are some theories that some random geographical areas might be spared almost any damage. It is important to note that all nuclear power plants are designed to prevent melt downs in such scenarios.
