Yeah, it's too bad our cars have such tiny batteries, and no space to fit a bigger one.

I use a 1.5A charger every night. It uses 0.1-0.15 kwh each night, and a little more if I've used the lights a lot. My commute is 10 miles (13 during school dropoff days). Half to two-thirds of that is eoc. Some coasts are more than a mile if traffic and lights work out. In summer when I don't need lights, I can skip days between charges. In winter, charging every night is barely enough.

LED's would help. The taillights draw about half as much as the headlights, so swapping them would remove 1/3 of the power drain. Any time I'm stopped at a light, I use the parking brake to save the power draw from the brake lights.
