Electric rates are going up, but not as fast as petroluem, and certainly not as fast as petroleum once we reach peak oil.

As far as electric vehicles go, it will have to be done as a plug-in hybrid for now. Because the long trips just can't be done on electric because of range limitations. However, plug-in hybrid technology will improve as batteries improve, and eventually fully electric cars that are rechargable on the go will be possible. It will be just like pulling into a gas station now for five minutes, charge the battery and away you go. That day is probably 5 to 10 years away. Certainly with gasoline prices sitting at $3.00/gallon there is a big incentive to develope electric cars.
