I am worried that she damaged the electric motors. My understanding is that in reverse, the vehicle only operates under the electric motors. I still can't believe she did this!!!! 
As soon as I saw what she did I took the car for about a 20 minute spin and everything drives o.k. I wasn't able to get as good of mileage as normal on the route I drove, but I am not sure this is fair. Of course my mind now is running through all kinds of bad scenarios. I also noticed that when the car is on but the ICE is off, that I am hearing a high pitched sound coming from the engine compartment. I never noticed this before, but maybe it's because I never listened for something so critically.
Am I just being overly paranoid?

Hey Chilly;
I'll step up here and give you some (Dealership-Advise) that if I were you I would pay Very Close attention to.
If this vehicle has alot of Warranty left on it and it seems to be operating correctly, FORGET-IT.
Drive the vehicle and don't drive yourself Crazy.
Now the important thing is this. If the vehicle starts doing something wrong, take it to your dealer and tell them it is doing whatever your concern is.
DON'T TELL THEM WHAT YOU JUST TOLD US ON THIS FORUM:
Reason, they may just turn around at that point and charge you for the complete Repair of the vehicle and anything else that comes up that is Related to the same Condition. Because you told them your wife Burned Up The Electric Motors.
So, Calm down and just drive the vehicle like always and enjoy it and whatever you do if it would happen to mess up, do-not tell the Complete Story as to why you think it is not acting Right. Your comment should be that you have noticed that (Something-Seems) to be not right with whatever and you would like it repaired.
HTH;
Terry
BTW; I work for a dealer so appreciate what I am sharing with you here.
