Technology will win and new electric car sales will be a very high percentage of sales well before then. As in other areas of tech you will get the enthusiasts who will stick with ICE for as long as possible but at best it will be like a niche that the mass market will avoid.
Volume and pricing will make ICE a plaything for the wealthy. And they will only be useable in limited areas, not cities.
A small recent example is that my CD deck was playing up. I thought it best to buy a new one thinking it would be around a hundred quid. After all Bluray players use similar technology and are available for half that and a CD drive for a PC is £15 upwards. Nope. Best for a decent new CD Player was £180.
Once economies of scale go prices will fly upwards. Which could of course make used cars valuable but I wouldn't bet on it. The kids will be electric.
