Gasoline may have been a miracle fuel but once affordable EVs have 1000km range with fast charge times we won't use it anymore.

Extrapolating the current rate of change, early 2030s.

They also have to be price competitive. I'm convinced they will be much cheaper than ICE cars eventually. Engines, transmissions, etc. are very complicated things. We've just gotten incredibly good at making them.

Yes, that's why I said early to mid 2030s: extrapolating current trends, that's when a 200kWh battery will cost $US 10k-15k.
