Cost has always been the primary driver of behavior. Slaves went away in the west not because it developed ethical DNA, but because slaves are expensive compared to machines.
People and organizations will tend to make decisions on what is least costly to them.
Regarding electricity reliability, around here if there's no electricity then there's no petrol, because the stations use electric pumps to operate. If electricity were sporadic here, an EV might be more reliable since it would charge whenever electricity were available, vs having to time a gasoline fill up when electricity is available. Perhaps it's a wash since people would change their behavior to just always have a topped up fuel tank.
