I suspect that the most likely outcome over the next 20 or so years is that once the balance tips in electric cars that gasoline demand will drop off and there will be a short time when the price will drop a lot which will help the lower
class than cannot afford the new expensive electric cars.
But… with a few years as gasoline demand drops past some point the refinery output will drop and the price will start to climb back up and when happens it will be a death spiral as to production and price. Same with the distribution. Same
with the lack of competition due to few gas stations.
The large increase in gas pricing will make it that most of us will not be able to afford to drive the cars very often.

I think it is more likely that our cars (and all cars that cannot communicate with other collision-avoiding, computer-controlled/autonomous vehicles) will be prohibited from driving on most highways/thoroughfares,
citing safety reasons, much the same way you can see signs at entrance ramps of highways today listing the prohibited means of transportation such as bicycles, horses, motorized bicycles, pedestrians, etc. If you want to drive on roads that are built or maintained
using federal funds, you may have to use an approved vehicle or have your current vehicle retrofitted (at your own expense) to comply with the requirement to be able to coexist with compliant vehicles.
I foresee a time when antique cars will have to be trailered to privately owned driving courses, much the same way people bring their horses in trailers to go trail riding on private lands today, or the way
certain non-compliant sports cars/race cars are taken to Lime Rock Park in CT, or drag strips across the country. Exceptions might be made as there are today for horses in Holiday parades like Memorial Day or Independence Day moving down Main St. USA, or
the fancy go-karts the Shriners pilot, or the decorated bicycles that the kids ride, etc.
I saw this video regarding a new last edition of the Challenger series of performance gasoline versions of the marque this morning.

What i found notable especially near the end were some comments by Jay about the effects of the development of electric vehicles emerging in our vehicle fleet and the possibility that EVs would cause conventional gasoline vehicles to be
banned from driving on our roads in the future.
His remarks at the end about that subject are the same as my own - rather than cause our collector vehicles to be banned in the future, rather the opposite is likely to occur - i.e. that development of new technologies that improve the
environment will make it less likely or necessary to ban our older vehicles.
He also shared that emergence of new technologies such as EVs invigorate the auto industry that in turn benefits us all especially in helping keep the US auto industry as leaders in vehicle engineering around the world.
In any case I found the video interesting and maybe our group would as well.................
