Electric transport is available today.
I don't think transport will ever be fully electric. There will always be some gas or diesel vehicles out there.
But you can expect that more people will go electric if fuel prices increase. It's easy to imagine a fuel price where everybody would want an electric car and most people would actually get one.

If fuel prices go up and everyone goes electric, there will be more demand for electricity. And since most plants are coal fired, that will mean a higher demand for coal and the price will go up. When the price of electricity goes up, so does the price of charging an electric car so your transportation cost will rise also.
