Common sense tell me that at, say, 5mph the energy to move a car is so
minimal that all these inefficiencies together would still be far less
than when traveling at, say, 30mph on a public road. (Your mother must
have a long driveway, but still short compared to going shopping.) But,
prove me wrong :)
A few people have mentioned that the very short trips are fouling up the
range calculations. If the algorithm is including parasitic loses in the
calc, this explanation makes the most sense.
Otherwise, I'll stick to my earlier theory, about cell damage. Seems
unlikely, though.

This would be true in any vehicle. Lubricants wouldn't have time to heat up and
become less viscous, tires would stay stiff on a short run, brake pads and
calipers would have more residual friction (especially if there is any surface
rust buildup on the rotors), etc. Of course on an ICEV, the engine management
during warmup would be a large factor as well.
