The problem I see with electric is the energy density, and the difficulties that come with that. Battery tech has come a long way, but it still has a long way to go. The other trouble is the longevity. I like buying used cars for ~$3k with 100k+ miles on them: pick the right one, and it'll last you another 60k+ miles for the cost of tires and DIY oil changes. From what I understand, current battery tech requires you to buy replacement batteries well before that point, and those batteries are ~$10k. Back of the napkin, that's $1k more than the cost of the ICE car, its maintenance, and the gas to drive it. It's not just cars, either. Welding - fairly fundamental to construction these days - depends on the availability of cheap power, usually in the form of gas generators. We'll be in a bind of gas isn't available anymore. Not to mention all the other applications for grid-independent electricity generation, which generally depends on gasoline or diesel. You may be right, and we'll hit that tipping point. If we do, though, I think we'll have a lot of second-order effects that bite us hard.
