You have the cause and effect backwards. German homes are electric heated at a rate of around 5%[1], French at around 30%[2] (page 7).
As electricity prices are lowered (e.g. by state investment in nuclear) various things that use fossil fuels will shift over to electric.

My guess is nuclear energy, more efficient cars, better insulated houses, and less heavy industry.
