electricity has to be created, it's not found in nature
power plants basically all operate the same way, some fuel (neuclear, coal, fossil fuels,) gets burned to heat water into steam
the expansion of the steam (like pressure making a teapot whistle) makes a turbine (big propeller, sort of like how exhaust makes a turbo spin)
The spinning turbine makes a giant magnet spin inside a bank of coiled wire, the motion of a spinning magnet makes electrical current in the banks of coiled wire (like an electric motor, but backwards)
anyways, my point is that electricity is still created by burning stuff, while you could alternatively just burn stuff in your car.
Hope I helped, and didn't make it sound too silly
