Just a random musing. As EV’s become more popular, means less gas being used, means potentially lower prices since supply of gas should increase? Or do they just cut production and keep prices the same.
Wondering what will happen in the long term.

No. While some equipment stays near a home area, that’s not always the case.
Regardless the energy density of batteries isn’t there yet. A combine can run through 20 gallons of diesel fuel an hour and run for 12+ hours straight. That’s 240 gallons of diesel… and equivalent to 8,904 kWh of fuel used.
There are plenty of carbon neutral alternatives: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/06/worlds-first-ammonia-powered-zero-emissions-tractor-starts-testing/. Diesel and gas tractors will be a thing of the past regardless of how fast energy density in batteries improves.
