Does anyone know at what point fossil fuels will start to feel the shrinking economies of scale, ie when fossil will get more expensive because there is less scale? Does this point exist at all, or doesn't it matter any more because we have the tech developed already anyway?

Norway will be the canary in the coal mine for the fossil fuel industry. With half of new car sales electric they'll be the first place where we can observe at what penetration gas stations start to close.
