That only means it will get less expensive to buy and operate an ICE vehicle, especially as the demand for fuel decreases and the price for it goes down as well. For those using an ICE vehicle for transportation and not as investment that is only a good thing

It could go the other way, if there are enough electric cars on the road the infrastructure for ICE cars will shrink and get more expensive.
I imagine there will be taxes and fees coming along to make the cost of ownership quite different from what you think.
The fact that you will be subsidizing other people's transportation costs in the future is little consolation for the loss. Particularly when you're subsidizing pollution.
