At least in the US since the latter 1970s for "gaffer tape" and
since the 1960s for "electrical tape", the two are drastically
different:

- electrical tape is stretchable, about 3/4" wide, and it is used
  for wrapping bare wires to prevent short circuiting

- gaffer tape does not stretch substantially, is about 2" wide,
  and is used for making sure (already-insulated) cables don't
  move around on the floor, walls, etc.
