The voltage regulator is solid state. Cant fry it.

No question. They are designed by nature if their function to handle large electical loads.the creat their own emp to step current up. Coils will be fine.

Nearly all electronics are solid state these days including microprocessors, such as vehicle ECM's, ignition control modules, transmission shift modules and so on and so forth. Unless they are hardened, they will all fry with a strong enough EMP. Actually, if you want a vehicle that will still be useful after such an event, you would be better off having a mechanical injected diesel. Remember the old CUCV? 85 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 with a 6.2l diesel and what little circuitry that was on them was hardened. Those would be ideal. Since diesel stores longer before it goes bad than gas and you can substitute a lot of organic oils for diesel it's an all around better choice. Josh
