What I would recommend is stopping places taking a break maybe grabbing some lunch and charging while you eat. If it is a dual battery system you will be able to charge a couple batteries at once which will help. It won't be perfect but it will help a bit.
What I would recommend is keeping trips to 1/2 the range of the battery so that an out and back can be completed with 20% capacity remaining. 10% in a pinch. EASILY done. Most people will never come close to exhausting a battery in one days riding.
