If you don't drive every day, then if you ran a laptop all day on your battery you are stuck the next day. Of course, the answer is don't run a laptop all day.. but that just changes the variables a bit because if you want to stop somewhere a bit longer is there enough power now? Also, running engines is not great for charging batteries which need to float a while to get full. A solar panel can make a huge difference..

Yes, agree, the answer is don't go live in a car and use the laptop all day every day. That wouldn't be very fun. :) Get outside if you run out of battery.
Having access to all the comforts all the time is for the part of your life spent in civilization.
