There's also the 'First Car Museum' range from Tomix. Single driving cars of the most renowned EMUs with special pieces of display track to power the headlights.

 

And of course, some EMU types are double cab motor cars that can operate together with each other or multiple unit sets, effectively a one-car set. Typically luggage/mail/LCL units which could be attached to a passenger set or run alone, such as the 145 series. But there is the single car passenger 123 series. Most of the JNR and JR one-cars have been covered by manufacturers in N at some point.

 

Local railways often had single unit electric cars, both passenger and freight, but many of these had no ability to operate in multiple and would pull loco-hauled cars and run around them at termini like a locomotive, so are classed as simple railcars and not EMUs. For commercial models of these the options are usually either Tomytec or kits.
