ASSUMING:
- the engine is up to operating temp, especially the emissions controls (catalytic converter).
- the battery has enough charge to do the job. Which it will not after a few minutes (causing the engine to come on).
Do not expect it to be 100% electric 100% of the time even when crawling- it won't, depending on the above conditions among other things.
