None, I'd hope. It should all be designed with overvoltage in mind. Even a
bog standard voltage regulator found in most electronics can cope with
perhaps 40 volts higher than its output continuously. And those designed
for car use are even more tolerant.

Car electronics need to be designed to cope with a *very* dirty power
source.
