You go out and fly for half an hour in the morning, bypass the fuel pump on landing, plug it in, and go fly again in the afternoon.
+++ Wouldn't this put you in violation of FAR Part 91.151 for the final fifteen minutes of your half hour?

§ 91.151 Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions.
(a) No person may begin a flight in an airplane under VFR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed—
(1) During the day, to fly after that for at least 30 minutes.
As long as your intended point of landing is no more than 15 minutes away you should be legal. There's no rule saying must land with at least 30 minutes of fuel onboard, you just need to plan on reaching your destination with at least 30 minutes of fuel onboard. I'm not saying it's smart to use some of that reserve, just legal.
