One wonders why you'd need a emergency power source that fast. Unless there's a lot of Robots with bodies like May's old one.

Nighttime would be a standard downtime period since they aren't working in a just AI world. A lot of them have daytime work, so going home and plugging in for a recharge seems like it would be the standard thing just to keep things going.
Further, it would also make them more relatable with humanity, charging becoming an analogue with sleep time.
Is it cold in here?:
I wonder if Clinton knows who Yay is.
shanejayell:
Elliot and Clinton are adorkable.

Yes, I'm pretty sure we've seen this with the likes of May and Momo already.
It does seem that power outages would be a much bigger problem for AIs than they are for humans, though. For all we might joke about not being able to live without this or that piece of technology, a power outage isn't going to leave us literally unconscious with no way to wake up no matter how long it lasts. Presumably most AIs would be very careful about making sure that they were at least plugged in before their batteries got too low, so that they could start charging whenever power was restored. Which would be fine for your run of the mill power outage, but might not work so well when critical infrastructure is destroyed in a natural disaster.
Is it cold in here?:
The closest analogy would be food, but we can go weeks without food and there's no reason to think AI batteries last longer than phone batteries.
I am relieved that Yay was not offended by what Clinton blurted.
