Hard. It’s Ground for the whole system and it’s covered in paint.

Not to mention the tires are vulcanized rubber, which resists electricity.

Yes, but no.

So easy peasy to add a double thickness section of wire separated by rubber grommets. Hook up one end of wire to one side of one of those HUGE ASS capacitors that are used in the bazooka bass amplifiers. Hook the other wire to the other side of the capacitor. When the two sections of wire have something to bridge the gap it will sizzle like a bug zapper.

That just insulates the chassis from the ground. The chassis can still be electrified.

Couldn't you have a separate circuit with its own power supply, insulated from the rest of the vehicle, to form an electrified web, maybe with some strips that blend in with the natural seams of the car? In other words... do it the hard way?

Sounds one step away from napalm launches to create initial clearance... please.

Harder, and more expensive than using natural gas.

One would have to probably install a conductive bar that goes around the vehicle that is grounded from the vehicle itself, and run a current through it, like some sort of external roll-cage or a metal mesh. Once one had that separated from the vehicle sufficiently, one could amplify that current as much as they like with a variable controller from inside the cab. I would imagine a second power supply, separate from the vehicle's battery, would be ideal.

You want high voltage low amperage AC: make it hurt, but not kill anyone.

Neon transformer or electric fence would be perfect

I mean, I wouldn't cry too much if a couple commies met their maker...
