Well, she would be doing more than 35 a day, which is probably when the gas would kick in.
Now, something I would consider if I ever decided to get one is to ask my place of employment whether they would help by rigging a 220 outlet to some part of the parking lot to allow charging while at work. If you could manage that, as well as the 220 in your garage to charge there as well, apparently the charge times are a lot faster...and you could theoretically double your range per day by charging your car on both ends of the commute.
