EVs just like original gas powered cars, slowly took over personal transportation as the infrastructure made it possible. Forget pollution. EVs are cheaper to make and run over their lifetime. Wtf would anyone buy a horse to commute to work now. The same will eventually be said about the ICE car.
The average American when ICE became popular didn't require $25 trillion to improve the delivery of electricity. Proof? FACTS not guesses.
According to this British study...
This week the Daily Telegraph reported that it could cost £65billion to decommission Britain’s gas grid, a 176,000-mile network of buried pipes. This is according to a draft National Infrastructure Report. It says that unused pipes must be removed or they risk decay and experts fear the potential collapse of roads. At the moment the network is properly maintained, with the cost included in our gas bills.
Logistically it will be a nightmare too, with districts being turned off one by one. I could mention the traffic chaos as roads are dug up in town after town, but I doubt whether many of us will be able to afford cars by then.

Now using British experience... £65 billion divided by 176,000 miles equal £ 369,318/mile.
equals how many miles of natural gas pipelines in US
Natural gas pipelines - U.S. Energy Information ... about 3 million miles
1 British £ equals $1.2077 so total cost for USA to do the same with the 3 million natural pipelines
will cost $446,026 per mile or for 3 million miles... $ 1,338,076,704,545
The U.S. natural gas pipeline network is a highly integrated network that moves natural gas throughout the continental United States. The pipeline network has about 3 million miles of mainline and other pipelines that link natural gas production areas and storage facilities with consumers.
