Yes you are right it is static electricity that causes the electric shocks.
There are two things that you can do to prevent this uncomfortable experience
the easy way is to put your elbow or shoulder on to the car or your leg so long as you have some clothing between you and the car, This should discharge the static eletricity.
Alternatively go to a garage and get some static electricity discharge cablles fitted to your car. These are a couple of flat cables attached to the back of the car that drag along the road and discharge the static electricity.
Don't worry about it. you have a lot of energy. Thats good.
just discharge the excess to the earth.

it's static electricity. it builds up when you slide across the seat, especially so in dry weather. Get a can of "static guard" at the store and spray your seats. Do it on a small place first to make sure it won't discolor the seats. I've nevr had it harm any of my many seat covers, but you never know.

It is Because of static electrical energy. Some tires do that and a few tires do not. Get a flooring strap from a automobile elements retailer and grasp it at the automobile to place the electrical energy at the flooring as an alternative of via your frame. Also, you might deliver a steel rod and earlier than you get out, contact the bottom or some thing external the automobile earlier than you step out and that eliminates the surprise.

The contact between your clothes and your seat builds up static electricity.

Static Electricity from you seats.
They actually have a fabric spray you can spray on your seats to prevent that, also you can just rub down your clothing and your seats with a dryer sheet whenever you go in your car and it should prevent that... and it will make you smell nice.

Your body hold static electricity transferred from the upholstery (floor mats or seats)of your vehicle. To ground yourself before leaving the vehicle, static straps can be purchased from automotive part stores and are easily installed.

Every one is right. A point in safety, and caution. When putting fuel in your car never but never get back in and out to remove the fuel nozzle. This can and has caused many of explosions. They first thought it was cell phones.

Your car is just making sure it shocks your finger before you go to pump the gas and light yourself on fire. You should thank your vehicle for that kindness and consideration.
Build-up of electrostatic on your feet. You already know what it is!
