The coolant hack I have worked on (presently not installed nor working) is not going to do what you want it to. The EV mode is not based on coolant temperature I do not believe (unless you turn the heat on). It is based on pack temperature.

Also, good luck with even getting 1 mile out of your battery pack. Max SOC is 80% and max discharge is 55% on my 2nd gen. That means you get to use a whole 25% of that 1kWh pack. Believe me, you'll pay for it when the engine kicks back on too. It really is best to stay out of it IMO.
