City dwellers are the ones that use public land to store their cars.

Villages I know well (my sisters, the one I lived in until moving to a larger 8000 person town, and the one with the primary school) I can’t think of any
Likewise the tiny hamlets I drove through on the way to school didn’t have people parking on the road, there’s simply no room. You occasionally get delivery vehicles stop and it causes chaos.
I'm thinking mostly of eg terraced streets in villages and towns. Similar to cities in that there tends to be a single space for parking on the street but multiple car owners per house on average.
Different to cities in that there isn't remotely the public transport infrastructure to support getting rid of cars, or the private facility to support electric overnight charging for the longer distance car-commuting etc that isn't generally needed if you live in cities.
Things are improving with technological advance but - again - not everybody can afford those advances and the latest models.
It's a completely different lifestyle living in those sorts of places in some respects.
So in rural areas there’s no parking for the street as that’s where the cars that drive are. You get pasig places and occasional some idiot will park in them briefly.
Even including your towns the vast majority of houses have off street parking, at least according the the rac
Not at all. You're quoting from a report based on data from a Net Zero campaign. But let's give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it's accurate, 60-70% having access to electric overnight.
That's still leaves millions (?) of households with on street parking.
Most commuters outside cities get on quite ok with normal cars - because they have to - and a third of them is hardly "niche".
The average mpy is 7k, so let's say a weekly charge is more accurate.
You can probably get away with that in most cases with on-street parking with a mix of commercial chargers and work if you're lucky.
That "probably" is the point. Your average normal car user (especially in financially challenged times) fighting for a car space on their street is not motivated to take on that higher risk at higher cost in a less competitive market to keep the equivalent of HN demographics happy.
