The passenger needs to sit on the starboard side of the car.
If we have one door, it is not realistic to put it on the port side - the passenger would then have to lift their feet up to their chin to get their feet over to the starboard side.
So, we put the door on the starboard side. If we put the only door on the starboard side, then the gear shift and emergency brake are in the way of the driver getting in and out. The e-brake we can move around a bit, but the gear shift is a PITA anywhere else for a 5 speed.
an electric car will not have these issues.
