Default Alternator v. Electrical Issue

Hi.

I am new to this group.

On Friday I bought an 07 AWD S80 with a V8. My wife and I were both thrilled with the car It has 27k miles.

But yesterday it died in the middle of a major highway while traveling approx 25 mph uphill, i.e. not stopped at a light.

I could not get it into nuetral to push off the highway so it was taken be flatbed back to the used car dealership which gave me a loaner and promised to have it repaired.

Is this a sign of an electrical problem that may haunt me for years to come or is it more likely an isolated issue that can be repaired?

Also, I forgot to mention the car started right up with a jump start.
Alternator?
