An electrical storm can potentially damage your car by causing power surges that can harm the electrical systems, such as the battery, ignition system, and computer. Lightning strikes can also cause direct damage to the vehicle's electrical components or starting a fire if it hits the car directly. It is recommended to park your car in a garage or under a shelter during electrical storms to minimize any risk of damage.
