Maybe she needs an all electric instead of a hybrid.
Nasty!
To be fair, "drive it on the highway" has been standard advice dating back long before hybrids came along. The engine needs to get up to temp to boil off any accumulated moisture. Perhaps not every time, but often enough. I've heard that advice for decades. It's nothing new.
Kinda sucks for the owner, but indeed, perhaps a full electric would suit them better.
