REX would have made the whole thing a non issue but it decided to stop working on the way to her destination so now she doesn't have the range to make it back. She got lucky it restarted the first time it died on her otherwise she wouldn't have made it at all.

Ah, so the gas engine part of the hybrid drivetrain broke. Yeah that would do it. More proof that hybrids are the worst of both worlds.

At the same time if she had the non hybrid version she wouldn't have left home at all because there was no way she could have made it at all (hence her having to put the car on a trailer to bring it back)

Well yeah. But then perhaps that car wasn’t the right tool for the job.
