Nobody stopped anyone from making EVs or not using oil products.

We use oil because it's cheap and versatile, not because evil oil companies are forcing us.

There's no replacement for oil at the moment. Sure, you can manufacture some plastics of CO2, but they are so expensive, even you don't use them.
