There are magnets found in most electric motors which are throughout your car eg electric window motors. They are also in your alternator. I assume that they are also used in the needles on your dashboard too.

Electromagnets are generally weaker than permanent magnets?

Depends on the size. One good example of a powerful electromagnet is the one used to lift cars at junk yards. Permanent magnets are not used for that due to the sheer power needed to lift cars. Also, electromagnets can be turned ON and OFF making them useful in picking up and then dropping the junk cars as needed. Another big example of electromagnets are the ones used on power generators to generate electric power.
