What is the narrowest EV that I can buy?
I have just bought a house and I knew that the garage was rather narrow. I have an MG4 but I am unable to get out of my car when it is parked in the garage. What is the narrowest EV that I can buy?

The narrowest we're aware of is the Hyundai Inster, which is a mere 1.6 metres wide, not including the mirrors, compared to 1.83m for your MG4. A BYD Dolphin Surf is somewhere between at 1.72 metres. Narrower than any of these is the Citroen Ami, but it's a quadricycle rather than a car, and can only do 28mph.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
