Well, at the rate solar panels and battery storage is improving (read cheaper), by 2040 solar will be cheaper than coal by a country mile. I wouldn't be surprised if on grid solar is already cheaper than coal, if coal wasn't massively subsidized by being allowed to pollute the commons for free. Regardless, it is much better to have EVs powered by large, more efficient powers sources, that are easier to scrub the outputs of, or replace with cleaner options.
