When most think of an EMP they think a nuclear explosion is needed to create an EMP, but a lightning strike from Mother Nature is a form of a EMP as is a strong Solar Storm from our sun, and EMPs can be generated artificially.
Autos are typically built to withstand lightning but not all electronics and human infrastructure may with stand something stronger, or targeted by a device that artificially-generates one.
A limited Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) can be generated artificially without the use of nuclear weapons. These non-nuclear EMP (NNEMP) devices can be created through a variety of methods:
The US government has recognized the threat of EMP attacks, both nuclear and non-nuclear, and is actively researching and developing methods for EMP mitigation and protection.
And since satellites are relied on for communications and transportation they can be vulnerable to EMPS beyond their existing built-in protections.

A limited Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) can be generated artificially without the use of nuclear weapons. These non-nuclear EMP (NNEMP) devices can be created through a variety of methods:
- Explosively pumped flux compression generators: These devices use an initial current passed through a coil to create a magnetic field, which is then rapidly compressed by an explosion, amplifying the flux and producing an EMP.
- Capacitor banks: Discharging a large, low-inductance capacitor bank into a single-loop antenna can generate an EMP.
- High-Power Microwave (HPM) generators: These devices produce a focused beam of microwaves that can induce powerful currents in conductive materials, potentially damaging electronics. HPM weapons are a type of Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) and can be focused on specific targets using parabolic reflectors.
- Military uses: EMP weapons can be deployed as payloads on bombs, cruise missiles (like the CHAMP missile), and drones. They can disable enemy electronics, communication systems, and even aircraft.
- Civilian applications: Small EMP devices can be used for testing electronics for EMP susceptibility. There are also ongoing discussions about using DEWs to disable or detonate explosive devices remotely.

Electromagnetic Pulses - Six Common Misconceptions - Domestic Preparedness
Many misconceptions about electromagnetic pulse (EMP) effects have circulated for years among technical and policy experts, in press reports, on preparedness websites, and even in technical journals. Because many aspects […]

Fears of an EMP attack are overblown. It's what comes next that should worry you
An electromagnetic pulse attack could leave portions of the U.S. without power. It is unclear for how long.
