Passenger side. They don't make a rear-entry Element, as far as I know. They do, however, offer a full or half cut-out [dropped] floor, with the ramp on the driver's side or passenger side. I enter from the passenger side, [the whole floor is cut out,] and I roll behind the steering wheel, lock down, and drive from my powerchair. My powerchair is a Quickie P200 [very small and compact.] I am able to give my friends who use powerchairs a ride, but they have to back up the ramp and then turn. It works well, but larger chairs are a tight fit. Don.
