I think electric mini coopers and there is an MG cybersomething (that one is expensive here ) Not many,though. The MG is likely Chinese made. Maybe the mini is,too,these days. It is cheaper to get a 4 door though.

There is JCW MINI 3 door.

Fiat 500E? I will only buy a car made in Europe, so I’d check out other options, but I know somebody with a 500E and she loves it.

Why 2 doors?
Just wondering.

I should have said three doors,it just helps getting in and out of the car as we rarely carry many passengers.Any more three door options?

I’ve got an electric Smart. Only 2 people can get in it!

The BMW i3/i3s is technically 5 door, but the rear doors can only be opened if the corresponding front door is open! Suits us as we rarely have passengers. Have driven one for 3 years and love it. Unfortunately it's discontinued, so only used ones are available.

Thanks for coming back - but what is it that makes a 2 seater easier to get in?
Just wondering (again)...
The only 2 seaters I've been in were sports cars and very low (and some with the shaped seats so snug).

I haven't experienced any problems (as yet) getting in and out of cars. Our old Audi (not electric) was a bit awkward immediately after my hip operation but there is loads of room to get in and out ordinarily.

I can see the point if you want a really sporty look but otherwise I'm still not quite understanding why 2 doors is better? Are the doors opening a lot wider maybe?

I love the newish Hyundai Ionic6 and that will be my next car I think.
Really comfy, easy in-out (in my opinion) and 4 actual doors (just in case).
It's a saloon shape and the seats can slide way back.
