I'm of the opinion that once a certain number of cars are EVs, a lot of pertrol stations will find themselves unprofitable. These will then close. People will see this happening and desire EVs even more. This will cause uptake of EVs to accelerate, causing more pressure on petrol stations, creating a vicious cycle that will make it harder and harder to keep using a ICE vehicle.
I also predict that there will be a healthy aftermarket converting ICE vehicles into EVs (or maybe even official manufacturer solutions).

I agree. While EVs are nice, and the reduced noise is a real blessing in the city, and even better blessing would be not needing cars at all.

Not only noise but also the reduction in emission is huge. Consider the recent court case in London where the question is whether air pollution killed a girl as well as a recent research indicating that air pollution, especially in cities, is impacting health much more then previously thought
However, concerning cities, I’d like to see a lot of emphasis on _not_ driving a car at all in the city
