Please allow me to relate a small story on electrification of cars.  In
a much similar time (late 60's) my folks lived at the edge of a small
town.  Their house was located next to a highway with a ditch between
the house and the highway.  The ditch seemed to be a major thoroughfare
for the loose dogs in the town.  One dog had a particularly nasty habit
of relieving himself on my father's new Austin Healy Sprite.  Being somewhat
annoyed at the smell of urine on his new car, he electrified the car with
a car battery and a flyback transformer (its been too long to remember all the
details).   I happened to be around when the dog decided to relieve himself
per his usual habit.  I did not believe dogs could make such high pitched
noises.  After a couple of days, no more problems.

Oh, by the way...  to my knowledge the electrication did not impact the
car at all.
