A freaking fortune is the answer.I think his point is that when demand for petrol becomes near-0, how much will it cost for those of us that still want our petrol cars.
Years yes, within 3 decades, almost certainly, probably more like 2. In two decades, the last ICE car to have been sold will already be 8 years old, if anyone is even selling ICE in a significant volume by then which I doubt they will.That will be years and years away
The demand for vehicle fuel is already reducing significantly in places like Norway, down over 9% in the last year alone.
The problem is once EV's get to the tipping point, you will also find it a lot more difficult to get fuel. Retailers start to fold and the margin the remaining sites will need to charge to stay afloat will rise significantly because volumes will be collapsing. Post 2035, every car that hits the breakers/scrapper is a potential customer lost as it can't be replaced.
