Why would the price of electricity go up?
Why because 300 million cars need to be charged that's why. Cars take a lot of energy and power, that energy will be transferred from oil to grid.
electricity would have to increase by 500% to equal gas prices
With this government, that isn't out of the question.
There is no control that can be implemented with electricity as a fuel that can't just as easily, or even more easily be implemented with gasoline
I disagree, oil infrastructure will be harder to shutdown all at once. Just like major blackouts in the past, one switching station can cause major issues for 1/4 of the country. Oil is transported in multiple facets, truck, train, and pipeline. Oil can also provide it's own energy from the ground to the gas tank.
There is no reason there should be any forced "update" to EVs at all.

So kinda like how when more and more people started buying OLED TVs the price skyrocketed?

It absolutely is out of the question because then it will cost homeowners half as much to generate and store their own power on site. And that's exactly what will happen.

Turn off the electricity and see how much fuel your refineries are making and how much gas people are pumping out of the ground at gas stations. I also want to see how many people are able to make gasoline on their roof from sunshine.
You're right that it shouldn't be forced. The economics are already driving it in that direction. No need to interfere with the market.
How the fuck are you comparing substation and power line maintenance with fucking oleds. The grid will have to be increased, that will require far more cost.
Solar panel prices will also increase, in some areas already you are taxed for having solar panels. They already tax property, they will tax solar panels as well.
If the grid goes down, you aren't going anywhere even if you have panels. Everywhere else will be closed and too many cars will require charge.
Gas stations can run on their own generators. Same with refineries.
Your flaw is you think these government policies will be used for everyones good.
The grid will have to be increased, that will require far more cost.
At the same time people are buying more electricity. Where will all that money come from? It's a mystery.

That's your flaw. I believe the government will try and fuck you, but there's fuckall they can do about a solar panel on your roof. Meanwhile they can shut down your oil and gas pipelines and good fucking luck for your "freedom" fuel.
