Toyota strongly recommends against doing this. The system is designed to be used as a hybrid system, not an EV system. The batteries are always kept in a small range of it's potential SOC. Running without gas could allow the batteries to drain well beyond Toyota's desired minimum charge. At the least you could be cutting short your battery's life.
