I’ve seen in newer slapped together constructions where yes, wide enough for two cars but they skimped on depth and the average sedan or larger won’t actually fit.
Comment on Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 3 days agoMany Americans have huge garages, some with room to park 2 or even 3 vehicles with plenty of space to walk around them. But even single garages are large enough to park cars.

Cars are much wider now than they used to be. Garages that were built more than 50 years ago likely are thinner.

My grandparents house built just after ww2 had, what was for a long time, a standard two car garage. Enough room for two land yachts from the 70s, lawn care implements and various other stuff and you could still open the car doors all the way and walk around. My parents’ house built in the 70s was the same. It’s more recent construction in built up areas where they are shrinking. They’ve been getting smaller as developers try to cram more liveable sqft on smaller amounts of land.

Sure, though the UK has a much larger proportion of those old houses than the US.
