Emp's don't just fry in use electronics, but the replacements in storage along with the fancy workshops that would produce the replacements. Which is a fact that you seem to conveniently be forgetting.
Without outside help, you would have to basically start from scratch again.
Replacement parts do not exist, obviously. Even if they did, they're always hooked up to a power source instead of laying in warehouses.
