I will be needing another car for #2 son maybe next year, and neither of my kids share my love of mechanical things and motors, so if the total cost and service life is right I will consider all options for them.
For me, I'll keep my RAM 2500 and keep my eyes open for maybe an early 70's Chrysler Imperial or New Yorker, something made of metal, that I can fix myself, that has style. AND has that beautiful sound of a fire breathing mega cubic inch 4-Bbl V-8 beast ;-)

I think I have an 8 year guarantee.
You'll want to install a charger on a 220 line. I think that's about $2K including labor.
In addition to Tesla, which starts in the 40s so might be pricey for your son, there's also the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf, and VW is launching next year (at least in Europe, not sure about US).
Here's a great website to learn more

I'm thinking a charger for your son, and a Charger for you!
