"We're going through the planning process of how easily Maddie can get from Albany to Gettysburg [College] and where she can charge the car," said YouTube personality Steve Hammes, who leased a Hyunday Kona Electric SUV for his 17-year-old daughter, Maddie.

My choice for a 17 year old might be a 10-year old pre-dented Volvo S60. Avoiding the NYC area it's a 338 mile drive between Albany NY and Gettysburg PA. Given the S60's 17.8 gallon fuel tank, and given EPA 23/20/30 MPG (let's say 23MPG since it's all Interstate highway driving), she should be able to drive from Albany NY to Gettysburg PA without stopping.

(If her bladder holds out.)

Getting a pre-dented car for your kids is an excellent idea.
