@eyewallowcome1104 Also, in regards to "gas cars," versus "hybrids," many of the reasons people don't want hybrids or fully electric, is because of the damage that's done to the environment, when building the car.
The National Center for Policy Analysis considers the Prius to be a source for some of the worst pollution in North America. According to their report, “the nickel contained in Prius’ battery is mined and smelted at a plant in Ontario that has caused so much environmental damage to the surrounding environment that NASA has used the ‘dead zone’ around the plant to test moon rovers."
Next, there is the real concern of electrocution. There have been issues with getting immediate help to the Driver and/or passengers, because of the first responders VERY REAL FEAR, of being electrocuted.
"Although consumers and emergency worker are slowly being educated on the dangers posed by electric cars, and more resources are being made available to them, the potential for electrocution and other hazards will remain until technology can develop batteries that are less volatile and cars that use much less voltage for the same performance, though that could be years or even decades away."
I could go on, but I'm sure you get the point.

@eyewallowcome1104 Coal is NOT dead... In fact, as of 2019, it was STILL the most COMMON form of electricity, used globally!
38% coal
23% Natural Gas
16.2% Hydro
10.01 Nuclear
And the list goes down from there.
In fact, in the US, we still get nearly a quarter of our electricity from Coal.
And... With all that being said, the US has still gone down in Greenhouse Gas emissions
"The 2020 edition of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) comprehensive annual report on nationwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, released today, shows that since 2005, national greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by 10%, and power sector emissions have fallen by 27% -- EVEN AS OUR ECONOMY GREW BY 25%."
