My commutes in the winter are in the dark both ways, and sometimes top 3 hours when I get stuck in weather with idiots.

I already have the equipment needed to do this. I'll still be using shore power, just not as efficiently, but trading that for higher voltage and unlimted trip time.

Have you considered LED lighting for your brakes and turn signals? I found this upgrade drastically reduced my battery consumption. I used to fear stop and go traffic!!
