I would venture NO. Once again, the lemmings are running in fear over something that has not been proven as destructive as the fear mongers state.

It is a very real problem, specifically to "long line antennas" representing power lines and pipelines. Particularly vulnerable are substation transformers and SCADA systems. Vehicles are unpredictable. In tests some have been damaged and others have not. Some needed to have the computers reset by simply disconnecting the battery and reconnecting again. Some will still be driving if there is fuel.

How do you build the transformers for substations with no electrical grid? It would be wise if we had a stockpile of them.
