I’ve gone as far as 55 miles in one bike ride, and hope to do a full century ride someday. 30 miles is not at all out of the ordinary for bicyclists.

You can find YouTube videos of people experimenting with flywheel-based regenerative braking. They’re completely impractical but pretty funny to see.

The traditional method of pedaling uphill less strenuously is to drop to a lower gear. You might go slower, but I’d bet even on existing e-bikes with pedal assist, this is something that’s already pretty reasonable now days.
