This is a tricky topic to search because of the name of Ford's truck, but I was unable to find any threads confimring this concern and just wanted to hear more opinions.
@jcanoe responded to a post about charging with a comment regarding lightning strikes and damage to electric vehicles. My purpose for posting isn't to contest this, I think we all would agree that and *anything* can be destroyed be a lightning strike.
I guess I'm just looking for communal knowledge. Is this a real concern? When ICE vehicles are gone and EVs are everywhere, do you think it will become a common occurrence for EVs to be toasted by lightning? Do ground wires provide protection? Should we really be unplugging whenever we suspect storms? Or perhaps unplugging at night in general just in case? Are there any guaranteed protections against damage to our cars from lightning? Would car and/or homeowners insurance cover an EV destroyed by lightning? Where do babies come from?
