    Kia and Hyundai often do, but you'd have to check specific models

    Thank you. It sounds like it is necessary to research each model individually, and there are no comparison tools for searching this type of thing.

    What's the actual underlying requirement here?

    I'm assuming what you really need is the boot floor at a particular height, rather than having a few different heights?

    For example, the Citroen Berlingo is an EV with an adjustable shelf, but I wouldn't put anything heavy on it and you've only got 2 heights; really high or really low.

    TBH, you will be test driving the car, so you will be able to tell then.

    My partner has rheumatoid arthritis and struggles to lift heavy things into and out of a boot. It's easier when the boot is level with the lip so you can slide things.

    So the requirement is for a flat boot, like an estate or an SUV, rather than a lipped boot like a hatchback or saloon?

    Research Institute for Disabled Consumers has a few handy searches for just that:

    Though I don't see any way to filter for EVs.

    Maybe something like the Berlingo or C3?
