I sure pray to God that your vision of the futur is the right one. Time will tell I guess.Cars aren't horses, and oil is far more profitable than electricity ever will be. Besides, oil companies don't control oil prices, the energy market does. Since production will wind down FOLLOWING the winding down of demand, prices will actually drop. That will lead the government(s) to start raising gas taxes to buoy the price of oil so it doesn't make EVs uncompetitive.
The biggest factor by far though will be the scarcity of ICE vehicles. As we all know, scarcity does not result in LOWER prices.
Also remember that what we're talking about here is AT LEAST 15 years off. Yes I know that politicians and other rich people are telling you that we are going to be "all-EV" by 2035 but that's not physically possible. You and I will not see the day where they make a Netflix show about the last gas station in the country. That's not even likely to happen this CENTURY. That's something our kids might see in their very late years.
