The engine still kicks on once in a while. Notably now in winter, it kicks on if I have multiple seat heaters and the steering wheel heater on. But my use case also has two days where it's over the battery range so I know it'll kick on. You can manually control it if you want and I do it once in a while when I need more acceleration since max power is delivered with both drivetrains.
