Last week I wrote and mentioned I have problems with both my vehicles after 
a large lightning storm. 

I know it's not Pure EV talk and probably applies to any vehicle, or no 
vehicle, but here goes. 

My wife's prius needs to have parts of it's computer replaced and the emeter 
just needed a fuse thankfully. Now this may have just be a huge coincidence 
that everything worked before an electrical storm and both my EV and HEV had 
electrical problems after it. 

What i'm wondering is besides not having my EV plugged in is there anything 
else that I can do to protect my EV and HEV from lightning? Or is this just 
a coincidence after all and I have nothing to worry about? 

Of course the sad part is with the EVs and HEVs under the microscope my wife 
casually mentioned what happened to one person at work and most people at 
her work are now scared to ever drive an EV or HEV.
