The majority of homes (in England) have a garage (40%)

Of which perhaps a half are too narrow to accommodate a car with
side-impact doors, and most of the rest are used as a shed.

There is often hard standing in front of the garage so even if the car
isn't under cover it is off the street and can be charged.

That depends when the house was constructed. There was a trend perhaps
10-15 years ago for planners to restrict the hard-standing to less than
a car-length (generally by having really short front 'gardens') in order
to dissuade people from multiple car ownership. And didn't that work out
well?
