LOL. Yeh, all-electric, 5 - 10 years. Cool.
Tell me something, Oliver, do you have any notion what would happen to
gasoline prices if 90% of the US car fleet went all-electric?
Guess.
The answer is: Gas prices would fall from reduced overall demand
(including electric power plant load).
The trend, OTOH, is going to be a gradual one, not an oil shock.
Gas will stabilize in the next year or two at about $4.00/gallon.
Discounting for inflation, that's still below the oil-shock prices of
the 1970's.

Following financial advice pages like that one is like listening to
bookies trying to fix their books by promoting long odds. These guys are
selling anxiety and hyping a longer bear market so they can keep their
short margin calls in play.
