2019, Recliner remarked:
And I think you're typical of most garage owners. In any case, many modern
cars are simply too wide to fit comfortably in a traditional British
garage.

But, of course, if you have an integral garage, you probably have space to
park a BEV and somewhere to mount a charger box.


Not in many modern developments such as this one typical of the newer
housing being built in and around Cambridge:

Those garages aren't fit for purpose, because you couldn't fit a modern car
in them, and presumably the owners don't get anywhere else to put one.
They're essentially covered bike-and-junk shelters.

Other developments at least admit that cars are parked outside these days:

and charging here would be fine.
(although I don't know if there's a covenant about putting extra stuff on
the front of your house)
