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,

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
Likely the milage of driving up and down the driveway is much worse than
actually driving somewhere.
The calculated range is based on how much energy used in the previous several
miles.
She just needs to go for a drive to correct the calculation

I'll try a few more charging cycles. Right now, whenever I take it out, it's
doing its mandatory running of the ICE engine, so the charge hasn't gone down
yet.

I'd say it's more likely a calibration error brought on by shallow
cycling and disuse.
The only way the "car" (computer algorithm) knows how far the car can
go is to compare battery health to recent mileage. This would require
it to observe recent discharge/recharge cycles to develop chrunchab
One possibility is that the mileage varies with temperature . I typically show
60 miles in summer and 40 in winter ( northern VA).
Also I think it projects mileage based on recent usage. So the trips to and
from mailbox may be poor mileage trips.
Does it show 40 miles after several more chargin
Because it's calculating range based on driving style?

She leaves the car plugged in all the time, even after it's fully charged.
She uses 110V charging.

What does the Volt charger do at full charge and the cable stays plugged
in ? Does it periodically recharge as parasitic uses discharge the
battery ? What is her charging pattern and what was it before the
pandemic ? It could be that, after one year, constant recharging to 100%
damaged the cell
One of the Battery cells going bad, maybe.

Pre-pandemic, when my mother-in-law charged her 2017 Chevy Volt, it would
have about 60 miles electric range. Throughout the pandemic, she's done
nothing with the car except drive it to the top of the driveway and back to
check the mail. When we were finally able to get to Georgia to visit her
