The handle portion includes (i) a fixed portion that, with the base portion mounted at the door of the vehicle, extends outward at the door of the vehicle, and (ii) a movable portion disposed within the fixed portion. When the handle portion is grasped by a user, the movable portion moves to actuate the electronic switch. With the base portion mounted at the door of the vehicle, and when the electronic switch is actuated, the electronic switch actuates a latching mechanism of the door to unlock, lock and/or open the door.
