It might happen in less than 10 years. The cost of electric cars is coming way down. It will be simple economics and the oil companies won't be able to stop the switchover.
Pretty soon the choice will be to get a gas powered car for $30,000 with a 3 year warranty or get an electric car for $25,000 with a million mile warranty. Better acceleration than a gas powered car. Plug it in at home in your garage. Never go to the gas station. No maintenance except tire rotation and wiper blades. Tap your phone at the shopping mall and "summon" your driverless electric car to come and get you if it's raining.
And yes, I am aware of the limitations and shortcomings of electric vehicles, but the changeover will come quickly.
I'm not as optimistic as you. Unless there is a breakthrough in technology increases will continue to be gradual.
There is a lot more than tires and wipers to worry about on electric cars.
And, no one will ever offer a 1 million mile warranty on a car.
