If she is truly driving less than 10 miles per day total, she may be able to get away driving in full electric mode with a few caveats:

1. If you live in an area that gets close to or below freezing, she may not make it 10 miles because heating the car is extremely inefficient.

2. She would have to remember to place the car in “Max eDrive” mode every single time she got in the car. Otherwise, the slightest hill or any sort of aggressive acceleration will force the engine to kick on.

3. If you live in a very hilly area, the engine will still kick on, even in Max eDrive mode.

I think if she just drove the car regularly without thinking about changing the drive modes, she would still visit the gas station very, very infrequently.
