This is one of the reasons why we need to electrify the economy ASAP, especially long haul commercial logistics vehicles.
Unlike gasoline electricity can come from at least a dozen or more (thus, diversified) sources. This means that electricity should remain cheap, as any cost increase in terms of c/kwh only makes other sources more profitable. For example, if electricity doubled then the payoff period for solar just halved etc etc.
