Most batteries handle partial charging better than full charging.

But, assuming it’s an issue a hybrid design with say 150 miles of daily driving lithium ion and 150 x4 = 600 miles of extended range is another option.

That's actually a good idea. I was thinking supercapacitors for fast acceleration/recuperation and batteries only rated for sustained driving at cruising speed. Should last much longer.
