With the extra Diesel tank in my truck I can go 900 miles (towing trailer) without refueling. How will a battery be able to cover the same ground?
BTW the electricity in my town comes from coal and natural gas. How does having an EV change the equation? And we all just saw what happened in Texas.

A single exhaust pipe from a natural gas plant feeding a 100,000 electric vehicles is much better for air quality than 100,000 tail pipes. Plus the natural gas plant can be located out of high population zones.
Coal is irrelevant. It is a smaller and smaller component of North American power makeup.
Texas has a third world grid. They’ll figure it out or people will start making their own reliable and reasonably priced power. It’s easy to make electricity. Gasoline not so much.
