Question Re: Anyone else heard or know?

So, you live in an area that has a natural disaster where all the power gets wiped out for let's say a week in a 100 square mile area (think flood, tornado, hurricane, or earthquake). How long are the ambulances & fire trucks going to run for? In this supposed new era of only ev vehicles (in theory by 2035) there would no longer be fossil fueled motors including generators. How large do electric helicopters have to be to lift the battery weight & still have any kind of useful load capacity? Do you want to fly across the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean on battery power? I think fossil fuels will be around longer than most of us will be. (Just thinkn out loud).
