Like the other comment said, you don't need a covered or heated space - the connectors are water tolerant, you can plug them in in heavy rain/snow without any issues.
You also have to think how fast you really need to charge - for a lot of people a basic 220V socket is fine, so you just need to pay an electrician to fit one in, then you can usually use the charger bundled with the car - as long as you only need about 20-30kWh replenished overnight then you're fine. You can fit a faster multi-kW charger, but the cost shouldn't be anywhere near $20k for that.
