"Exactly which year was the legally mandated cut off point for the sale of "new horses" to force a switch to those newfangled vehicles?"
Precisely, there wasn't one and you could still opt to ride your horse in many places today if you like. Downtown London isn't a good option, but in the country it might be faster to take the horse directly than to drive all the way around to a destination. There are places in the US with sects that eschew motor cars and travel in horse-drawn carriages on public streets. Automobiles were adopted over time as they became affordable and infrastructure was in place to support them until we are where we are today. EV's are more likely to be adopted even faster unless the governments meddle too much and put a spanner in the works.
