An electric helicopter may be desirable for an executive to fly 50 miles from his mansion to the rooftop of his office building. There is no fumes noise or danger of an explosion for this commute.
But even small airports are also going to have planes coming from mid range distances that are impossible to fly to from electric planes. So you are going to need the fuel pumps and everything else at that airport that serves the fossil fuel jets.
Why risk your life for such a plane? Wouldn't a nice hybrid make much more sense?
People ask that question about automobiles where the consequence of your electric car stopping because of unforseen circumstances are far less severe?
