Additional UK advice

Hi All,
First time post and apologies for asking my questions on an existing thread but the members that charge using standard 3 pin UK plug may be able to assist.
I’m just deciding if to get a EV charging point or just to use the standard 3 pin. I will usually charge overnight and have charging facilities during the day at work so I’m not sure the extra expense is worth it.
The standard 3 pin charger that comes with BMW X5 45e is it waterproof and what is the official IP rating? Do members leave it out in all weather?
Will the plug fit in a standard outdoor weatherproof socket? Sometimes the lead is oversized and won’t fit a standard socket.
Thanks for your help.
