Answer

Can I charge an EV without a driveway?

Yes, but a home charger needs off-street parking. Without a driveway, use on-street chargers, workplace charging, or lamppost/kerbside units where your council offers them.

In more detail

Cross-pavement cable channels are being trialled by some councils to let terraced homes charge from the street.
