Friction between your body and the car's upholstery. Same as shuffling across a rug and touching a doorknob. The relative humidity in winter is much lower. Low humidity prevents the static charge from dissipating through the atmosphere.

i own a repair shop,and its caused by the clothes you wear such as a flannel shirt or a jacket,and it is created by friction from rubbing against things that will help create the static charge,it will do it in the summer also if you have on a cool cotton shirt or something that will hold a charge,all your doing is building up a charge and then releasing it to metal,even your shoes can cause this to happen cloth seats in a vehicle do it a lot these days,good luck,i hope this help,s.

it quite is static geared up up on your physique, no longer the motor vehicle's. once you have opened the door carry directly to a metallic area of the motor vehicle formerly and on an identical time as you step out, like james n says. "Static straps" and comparable contraptions do no sturdy in any respect, except of direction you think they do. quite the static is geared up up on your physique due the friction between your sturdy self and the upholstery - some say that nylon underclothes make it worse . . .

Static is caused by friction. Now I've noticed that anytime I wear wool or a sweater, my car shocks the truth into me....so you may wanna check out what you wear

i beleive its like rubbing your shoes on carpet everytime you slide your pants accross the seat of your car. keep in mind that as it gets cold, more people sit in thier car while filling with fuel. i wouldnt do that, but if you do, make sure to touch metal of the car to release that static electricity before you touch near the filler handle.
