Picking a Nissan Leaf as an example and rough equivalent to what you have, it looks like will go from 0-80% charged in 1/2 hour at a rapid charge point, which argues that those second and third charges on a journey will give you 65 or so miles per charge not the 84 for a full charge. Also factor in how much shorter that mileage would be with the heating and lights on (which you will need in winter) but maybe on a cold day (-5) it could go down to 50 miles.
As you can probably tell, I've been thinking about it as well but the range issue is nowhere near solved for me, and with the actual real world figures it may not be for you unless you decide to use a hire car for long journeys.

There are some figures for real world here http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1082048_nissan-leaf-range-how-much-does-it-lose-in-the-cold. It's noticeable they didn't get the claimed 84 mile range from full charge even under optimum temperature conditions which suggests you'd get even less out of the 30 minute charge.
