long-standing small-scale items such as the hand-tele, porta-sci, porta-brig, etc. have demonstrated the ability to accomplish teleportation/open portals without needing to be hooked up to a power grid. mechanics devices must have similar on-board power sources. the mechanics are privileged to be able to work with similar cutting-edge tech, but its not nearly out of our tech scope.
perhaps some kind of small random failure rate, demanding a mechanic come by and tune up the devices, could be used. over dozens, perhaps hundreds of uses, it wouldnt be surprising for something to overload and need fixing up.
