“EMP is vastly over rated for cars. Every lightning strike is a small localized EMP. I have never heard of a nearby lightning taking out a car”
The truth is....we don’t know.
a 600V/m field is possible under the hood, according to data I have seen. An emp is up to 50,000 v/m. The EMP commission testing is not as conclusive as is sometimes claimed.
Lighting EMP will definitely take out a car. It also is known to take out yachts.

Do you know what high energy ignition coils produce?
“The truth is....we don’t know.”
You may not but the military does. Many classified atmospheric and exoatmospheric tests were conducted to determine the use of EMP as a weapon, both from using EMP over another nation to disrupt its military and commerce and during the midcourse phase of a ballistic missile to destroy incoming missiles. I earned my PhD in physics during those tests (participated in discovering the third Van Allen radiation belt and provided additional modeling of the time dilation theory).
If there was a use for EMP it would be a weapon today. There isn’t.
