Does the battery go flat if driving only in electric mode?

Hello all, I am nw here and I will add, I am a woman who does not understand cars well :) So please be kind to me :) So I have a question. Here in Europe (Belgium) niro plug in is arriving only in 6 month (if ordered now), so I could not get much reviews. I have a specific question, maybe you, who are driving your niro plug ins can tell me - I have heard both from prius plug in and mitsubishi outlander plug in owners that if one drives back and forth to work, a short trip, charges the electric battery at work, so it's almost always full, it kind of makes the hybrid battery idle. I understand, that in order to start the car, it uses the hybrid battery, right? The problem in both prius and outlander was that after a while driving only in electric mode, the car does not start because the hybrid batery is flat... Has ir happened to you?
