The vehicle static electricity discharge device is an electrostatic discharge system for a road vehicle including an electrically conducting rod in electrical contact with a. thin film resistor which in turn is in electrical contact with an electrically conducting part of the vehicle body. An actuator mountable to the vehicle can reversibly and pivotally move the conducting rod between a position that contacts the ground and a retracted position removed from ground contact. An actuator energizer operatively connected to the actuator selectively energizes the actuator for deployment of the conductor rod to contact the ground so as to provide an electrical pathway for electric charge from the electrically conducting part of the vehicle body, through the thin film resistor, and then to the ground for a predetermined interval, and wherein in the retracted position the conductor element is distanced from the ground so as to interrupt the electrical pathway.
