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 https://electrek.co/

I'm thinking a charger for your son, and a Charger for you!
Well 8 years is pretty good so long as thats not a pro-rate warranty like regular batteries.

As for a Charger for me, I currently have a video game-like 2011 Challenger, but if I were looking for an original,,, maybe a 1970 GTX. They looked sooooo cool.

Dont understand why the car makers have such boring cookie cutter designs these days. They are so uninteresting to me. I mean really, would it kill them to make an interesting wheel opening in the fender or quarter panel, anything better than the perfect circle cutout,,,

Maybe I expect too much, but in 2020 you would think the average car would be at least as attractive as they were in 1970's.
