This won't happen until EVs roughly hit price parity with ICE. Most people aren't willing to pay more for an EV. Many people would pay a premium for ICE (for ease of refueling).
But once EVs are cheaper the change will happen quickly. But quickly in terms cars still isn't fast. Even if another ICE was never built or imported to the USA, it would probably take about 8 years for EVs to the majority. We keep old cars around for a long while.
Also, a lot of people assume self driving and electric go hand in hand. But really, there is no reason they need to. In fact, if you really do have a fleet of cars, that might make EVs less attractive due to charge time. Though you can make it work anyway.
