There's only enough lignite around Bełchatów to last until the rest of this decade - given that it's generally uneconomical to transport the fuel over large distances, that will be the end of it.
Overall lignite use in Poland has been decreasing for years now:

> there are many which everage 300-400Wh per km travelled,
You'd be hard pressed to get such figures from an EV. The worst offender that's still a passenger car consumes 368Wh/km at highway speeds(120km/h) in cold weather (-10°C), but its economy is unusually bad. My pet theory is that it's mining BTC in the background, because those figures are outrageous.

Bełchatów burns ~1 ton of coal per second. This means that if it were supplied by train, it would need 1 coal wagon per minute, 24/7.
