Concern over the power grid is very real because the wires comprise a giant antenna to receive an EMP.
Concern over most modern consumer electronics and especially vehicles is less so. An EMP created by a thermonuclear detonation that is strong enough to permanently disable a vehicle will also be hot enough in the same vicinity to make worrying over the EMP a non-issue as you're being incinerated.
