I think the real fun is when we get more than 50% of the way, because the remaining gas-powered things need to have refineries and distributio too, and I have not kept track of what the plastics and other oil-consuming industries will do when gasoline becomes less in demand.
Electric lawn mowers, weed whackers, etc have been around for decades. School buses, utility vehicles, farm equipment (some things that are diesel, too) will all need power. If your combine and harvester require diesel and unit economics drives the price of diesel through the roof, your food will cost somewhat more. As will the cost of delivery.
What's the state of electrification of heavy machinery?
