Wouldn't the increase in demand for electricity also increase the price? Also, if the majority of consumers start switching to electric, I'm pretty sure the automobile and oil companies will respond. Not that that's a bad thing or anything.

It's hard to say, utilities can't just jack up their prices whenever they want. However, it's possible that there might be capacity issues, where there's more demand for electricity at peak times than can be generated.
