Anyone getting shocked exiting their hybrid?

[jtpc2021]

So 1 out of 3 times, I exit my hybrid and I get a pretty good zap from what im assuming is electrostatic electricity. It Doesn't matter what clothes I wear and it doesn't happen in my other 2 vehicle's. Any tips or similar situations please post.

Hasn’t happened to me.

Maybe I will try rubbing dryer sheets over the seats, see if its helps.

Also wipe down the plastic doors panels and dash.

I have the EB but I have been getting a shock that I'm guessing is from static a few times a week. I'm sitting at dealership for my oilchange at 12k. ( I am getting it done every 4k for first few changes after 20k I'll go to 5k)

I am visualizing you putting the dryer sheets halfway into your back pockets to do the rubbing!

Have you tried driving naked?

It works for me ... in so many ways...

How hairy can one be and still be considered naked?

Anyone find a solution to improve this ever? I still get shocked most times, even in the rain!

Reach over and grab the metal on the door or door frame, before you slide out of the seat to get out. Keep holding on to the metal as you get out.

This prevents a static charge from ever building up.
