I don't think we're very far off from widespread, fully autonomous ride-hailing services (10-20 years?), which will signal the downhill slide of private ownership. Until then, like you say, people that can't set up charging stations at home will buy up the remaining ICE vehicles and make them last. People in urban areas [north of the Florida border] can also fall back to mass transit and ride-sharing services.

ICE cars won't go away overnight, but I think we'll look back at some point and be impressed with how quickly (relatively) the switch happened.
