A Faraday cage only works when grounded. So, if he's out and about when the EMP hits, he's screwed just like everyone else.

Parked in the garage and connected to a grounding rod, maybe OK.

BTW, DoD did lots of tests relative to EMPs. If one does hit, disconnect your battery, reconnect and retry your vehicle. Chances are it'll start.

Or so I'm told.
