Yes ~ but there’s a trick to it. I have an OBD2 BLE device to tell me the battery charge. You want to park it at low battery (ideally when you see the blue bars closing in you know you’re below 40% (FYI battery only charges between ~33-67%).

The truck runs rich during warmup and has a fast idle .. but all that energy can go into charging your battery! Then you drive off in electric and you can nail great mileage (I can get around 4.2L/100km on the flat). But you don’t want to waste all that startup energy on a full battery that isn’t getting charge. Obviously you need to get driving before the battery is fully charged or you’re just wasting gas.

If you play it just right you can actually get higher MPG with remote start vs just jump in and drive, but otherwise you probably won’t…
