The article recommends used EVs like the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt, and Fiat 500e as smart first cars for teens due to low prices (often under $10K), safety tech, and limited range that keeps teens close to home. These models are widely available, easy to maintain, and offer features like app-based tracking. Overall, they're practical, budget-friendly choices for new drivers, but also check with your insurer since EVs can have higher premiums.
